Tom's POV

"Why do they think I'm wrong, Tom?" Tord asked.

We were still a bit drunk, even if that had nothing to do with anything.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Why does everyone think that my plan for Utopia is so wrong?" Tord asked.

"I'm not..."

"I'm not sure..." I said.

Tord laid back down on his bed.

I sat there, looking at him...

He looked so peaceful.

He looked adorable.

"You think it's wrong too, don't you?" Tord asked.

"N-no, of course not!" I said nervously.

Tord gave me a serious look.

"W-well, I just think the way you're delivering Utopia is a bit drastic," I said.

"How's that?" Tord asked.

"C'mon, death camps? Taking over London and claiming it as your Red Base? Was that even necessary?" I asked.

Tord thought for a moment.

And he thought hard.

"It's a work in progress is all,"

"..."

"Why do you think he did it?..."

Tord looked at me in confusion, "What do you mean?".

"Matt, why do you think he tried to kill you?" I asked.

"..."

"I'm not sure..." Tord answered.

"..."

"When Matt was in here, what were you guys talking about? Matt seemed distraught," Tord asked.

"He was just asking me the same question, 'Where's Jessika Härt?'..." I said.

"That's it?" Tord asked.

"Well no..." I said, "He said one more thing."

"What'd he say?" Tord asked.

"He said a war was coming... and that you loved me, very much, and that I could stop the war from coming..." I explained.

"He said I loved you?" Tord asked in confusion.

I shook my head and made eye contact with Tord.

It was clear Tord wanted to speak, he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Well, I-" Tord said before there was knocking on the front door that interrupted.

"I'll get that," I said before getting up and answering the door.

Pau stood at the door.

"Um... Is Red in here?" Pau asked.

"Tord, it's for you," I said, looking back at him.

Tord reluctantly got up from the bed and headed towards the door.

"Oh, it's you," Tord said as he saw Pau.

"Sir, we've found Jessika Härt..." Pau said.

Tord was in shock.

"Y-you did?" Tord asked in disbelief.

Pau nodded his head.

"Where is Jessika Härt?" Tord asked.
