Arriving at the entrance of the community, Nana Monty and Jayden Maguire got out of the car.
"Thank you, Staff Officer Song." She said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, you arrived in time, I'm really grateful."
"No need to thank me, Major General Maguire has done me a favor, his business is my business." Staff Officer Song nodded, "Major General Maguire, Mrs. Maguire, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Nana Monty waved her hand, watching the imposing military vehicle leave.
...
Jayden Maguire remained silent, his mood heavy, making Nana Monty uneasy.
She held his hand tightly, "Why aren't you speaking?"
"I don't want to talk." Jayden Maguire replied, deflated, as though all his energy and spirit had been scared away, leaving just an empty shell here.
To lighten the atmosphere, Nana Monty could only steer the topic towards something Jayden Maguire was interested in, like food.
"Want to eat braised chicken drumsticks? I'll make them for you tomorrow."
