Zeba was all too familiar with Jarvis’ smooth-talking ways.

He’d spout off about chivalry and “ladies first” every day, but she knew better than to fall for his flattery.

She wasn’t about to let him get the upper hand.

She didn’t waste her time on him, nor did she owe him any favors.

If he wanted to check out the cavalry guards, that was his prerogative.

Zeba wasn’t looking for any credit, so why not take this opportunity to explore and learn something new?

“If you’re set on the cavalry guards, Jarvis, I’ll stay put and wish you the best of luck,” she said coolly.

With that, she made a move to open the car door and stepped out.

Jarvis practically blurted out, “Zeba, there’s no way you can get to the village or the store.

What are you doing here? Why don’t we head to Bergen together? When we get there, I’ll head to the airport to investigate, and you can check out the port.

My hunch is that Maria probably left by boat, so you might find some leads there.”

But Zeba wasn’t having any of it.

She simply ignored him and made her way out of the car. She ran her fingers through her flowing locks with a dash of panache and a smile.

“Going to the port to find a ship is a far cry from going fishing for clues,” she quipped.

“So, any bright ideas, Jarvis?”

“I’m not exactly a genius, but I have an idea,” Jarvis replied, his eyes bright with determination.

“Maria went missing here, so there have to be some leads nearby.

I was thinking of checking into a cozy little hotel and doing some investigating for a few days.

But for you, Jarvis, you need to get to Bergen.

Don’t waste any more time here,” she urged him.

“Okay, I’ll head to Bergen Airport first to look for clues,” Jarvis replied with a helpless shrug.
