Tabitha's POV Derek piped up again, "He never really cared about helping John. He just wanted to use John to manipulate you. After last night's fight, I bet those weasels have found a new hideout to lay low for a bit. "They won't dare to make waves anytime soon, especially him. So you're not gonna see him for the time being." He placed his hand on my shoulder, persuading me, "I'm the only one you can trust, Tabitha. I always look out for you and want nothing in return. Tell me where John is, and I'll help you." Having learned all this stuff all of a sudden, I was at a loss. I didn't get it. How come things became so complicated? I always thought Jasper was a righteous man, yet he turned out to be a bloodthirsty monster. And behind Derek's affectionate façade, he had his own agenda.
