Jade 

*A few hours prior to the meet-up.*

*I'm inside the headquarters with Tim and Jerry . Kim is getting food . I have just told them all I know about Jack, and Tim is looking him up and everything on him .*

Jade : Found anything yet? 

*He raises his eyes to give me an indescribable look.*

Jade : What? Start talking . What do you have for me?

Tim : I just got Intel from  a nigga of mine.

Kim : Nigga? 

Jerry : Finally , food. 

Jade : Talk to me, Tim . What's wrong? 

Tim : The puppy is Jack's son.

*Silence fills the room . Everyone is stuck except for Kim . She's still eating, but also shocked . I'm sure everyone is asking themselves which puppy is it.*

Jade : Which puppy? 

Tim : Leon . He is Leon Mikaelson but uses his mother's surname more. He goes by Leon Brown .

*My whole world goes still, and my heart starts beating faster . His son? Does he know who I am ? Does Jack know it's me?*

Tim : Ma'am, are you okay? 

*I ignore him and get out of the office . I need some air. I head straight for my pool and throw myself in . I need to think.*

*Present day.*

*I'm driving him to a secured place that I established myself. I call it the invisible . He still looks out of place, but  there is only one way to solve and clear half my doubts about him. I don't think I can trust him wholeheartedly, but he doesn't have to know that.*

Leon : Where are we going ?

Jade : Follow me . 

*He does just that and stays behind me.  As soon as I enter the lift and it sends us down to the downstairs hub. There's music blasting and girls on poles and guys watching and paying .*

Jade : My office. 

*He nods and follows pursuit. I nod at my waiter, and  he nods back, getting me a drink . I open the door and invite him in as he sits down. Who the hell said he may sit down?*

Jade : Is there anything you would like? 

Leon : No, I'm okay. Can we get down to business. 

*A man who cute down the chase . I like it. Okay, quite liking he's the son of an enemy .*

Jade : Is there anything you want to tell me ? If I can trust you , you have to tell me everything .
