The door to Elijah‘s room opened, and Ryan stopped a distance away from the doorway, after shutting it, staring at Elijah, wearing a white shirt, dark brown pants, and monk strap dress shoes.

“Bryan‘s driver is here to pick you up.” Ryan‘s voice came out hoarse. “Thanks. I am almost done here” Elijah let out, turning back around towards his desk and picking up his watch.

A brief silence settled over them for a moment as Elijah fastened his watch on his wrist before Ryan spoke up again. “Thanks, boss,”

“For what?” Elijah looked up from his watch, meeting Ryan‘s eyes.

A spark of gratitude flashed across Ryan‘s face when he answered. “For standing up for me,”

“Ryan, If a man wants people around him that are willing to fight for him, he should also prove to them that he‘s ready to fight for their life in return,” Elijah uttered as he picked up his keys. “You can‘t get loyalty from others by not showing them you are loyal towards them.” To hear his boss‘s humble words made Matt want to hug him or something, but he had to restrain himself and just give an understanding nod. After shoving his phone into his pocket, Elijah walked over to Ryan and tapped him on his shoulder, and Ryan turned around to see Elijah looking down at him with a small smile on his face.

Then he gave Elijah a slight grin before his boss walked past him, heading out the room, but Ryan was right on his tail. When Elijah reached Peach‘s door, he stopped in his steps, gazing at the wooden frame for a moment, and raised his knuckles to knock, but he froze halfway through and lowered his hand.

“Not even her mother could get her to open the door a moment ago,” Ryan whispered, sighing softly. “Maybe we should give her time and space to cool off?”

“Yeah. I think so too...” Elijah muttered, nodding slightly as he stepped back and turned away from the door.

When they got into the lobby, Matt was already ready to leave with Elijah, but as they approached the door, Elijah turned looked at Ryan, and said, “Let‘s go,” Me?” Ryan asked surprised because Elijah didn‘t make any mention of him coming along until now.

“I will need a lawyer by my side for this one,”

“Sure thing,”

For a second, he gave a glance over at James and Rookie before following Elijah and Matt out the motel door.
