Cedric responded, "Alright. I'm leaving her place today. Arrange for a few people to guard my wife. Om Continue to look for Natalie and Winslow, but keep my wife out of it. She's unaccustomed to such situations. We mustn't frighten her.” "Understood, boss. Don't worry. We've got everything under control."
