"I knew you could do it, Danny."

Then Danny's body went still, and Jasper ejected and took his blood-soaked blade out of Danny's chest. A moment ago, Japsper was loved, and now he felt utterly alone But, Japser knew he would be loved again tomorrow when his boss's son slipped out for a secret smoke break.
