Natalie dealt with the pair of reporters, and Jay was perfectly fine to hang back. In fact, he limped a few dozen steps toward the wall. He frowned as he examined it. His parent's back yard had a sturdier fence surrounding it. This thing was just good enough to keep the kids inside and the stray dogs out. Actually, now that he looked at it, a dog could probably dig its way under in a few hours. But, the wall was manned by Legionnaires and with the CEO on the grounds, this was probably the most fortified structure in all of Sierra Leone.
When Jay turned back, the sweep of his gaze caught sight of CEO himself. Jacques's emergence immediately drew people swarming like flies. He looked good though, competent. But more importantly, well-rested and sharp. A small beam of quiet pride straightened Jay's otherwise tall posture and when he returned to Natalie and Azo, the limp was less pronounced.
He pointed the scene out to Natalie when he returned. "Do you want to hear this? If you have something else you'd rather do, there's probably fewer people around to see you do it. They'll all be out here, distracted."
His brow lifted conspiratorially. He knew Natalie preferred the background to the spotlight. If there was something she wanted to do while nobody was paying attention. Now was the time. The spotlight was elsewhere.

Only darkness shows you the light.
