Fred nodded in understanding.
Adams tapped a finger against the table in a steady rhythm for several seconds before speaking again. "I have a feeling that his arrival this time is not simple. We cannot risk allowing him to discover her existence."
Fred swallowed hard. "I understand. But, Sir..." he began cautiously.
