"Would you ever hurt Sophie?" "Never." Hearing this, Colby's tone softened. "Alright, just remember you said that." He left Gordon's study and headed downstairs, where Sophie and Jenna were chatting with Adler. Seeing Colby descend, Adler called out, "What took you so long? Odie's already gone!" "Uh-huh," Colby replied, clearly indifferent about Odie's departure.
Sophie asked, "Did the talk not go well?" "Seriously? Even you couldn't get Mr. Gordon to talk? That guy's got a vault for a mouth!" Jenna exclaimed, nudging Adler.

"At least we know Mr. Gordon's in on it. Right?" Sophie looked at Colby, searching for answers in his eyes.
Colby sighed. "If he doesn't want to talk, not even the Grim Reaper could make him." "The Grim Reaper? Gordon would make the Grim Reaper take a detour!" Adler marveled. "Is there anyone more tight-lipped than Gordon? No wonder he's in intelligence. A couple hundred years ago, he'd be the top spy master around!" "Will you ever shut up with your nonsense?" Jenna snapped.
"I'm just telling the truth! Don't believe me? Ask Colby." Colby walked up to Sophie and said, "His mouth is tight, but it's not as annoying as Adler's." "Hey! You!" As Adler was about to retort, Colby turned to Sophie. "I have to handle something with Odie. I might be back late tonight." "What's going on? Work stuff?" Sophie remembered Colby and Odie's previous private conversation, which she still knew nothing about.
"I'll tell you when I get back, okay?" "Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you." Seeing Sophie let Colby go so easily, Jenna couldn't help but comment, "Sophie, you're too easy-going. If it were me, I'd dig until I found out what's so important that he couldn't tellfirst!" Adler chimed in, "You just don't get it. Us men, we keep things quiet until we've accomplished them. Only then do we brag to the women we love! Those who yap before getting anything done are losers!" "Alright, alright, no one's calling you a loser! Just keep it down," Jenna snapped.
"I'm saying, Colby and I are real men!" Listening to Jenna and Adler bicker, Sophie couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
