Ice and Fire

Jackson was in doubt. He said, "I'm not sure. Cherry saw the photo of him and Stephen, so she might have remembered his face. What if..."

Derek suddenly became nervous, and asked, "Have they actually met each other?"

Jackson shook his head, and replied, "No, I don't think so."

Derek felt more relieved after he heard him. He said, "That's good. If they meet each other, I think that he'll certainly lay his eyes on her, just because Cherry's yours."

"I won't let them meet!" said Jackson firmly, and with a determined look in his eyes. He was willing to protect Cherry at all costs.

Derek then fell silent, and seemed to be thinking of something.

Jackson suddenly said, "However, for the moment, this is not the most important thing that we need to handle."

Derek was confused when heard this, and asked, "Then what is?"

"Jean is back in the city, " calmly replied Jackson.

Derek opened his eyes wide, and while he stared at Jackson, he asked, "When did she come back?"

"She's been back for some time already, but I don't know what she wants to do."

Derek furiously said, "You shouldn't have released her! Now that she's back, nobody knows what she'll do!"

Jackson became silent, and was lost in thought.
