"The task I'm assigning you isn't a big deal, so don't be nervous," Bonnie said as she detected the tension in Collin's voice and his eagerness to help. She wanted to reassure him so he wouldn't be overly anxious.
Collin scratched the back of his head. "I'm not nervous, just worried that I won't perform well enough and end up dragging you down."
"Follow my instructions, and you won't drag me down," Bonnie said with a smile. She knew that Collin was the most concerned about her situation inside Billy's organization.
Of course, Ivor was unaware of this mission. If he knew, he would undoubtedly be even more anxious than Collin.
Aside from worrying about her safety, Collin was also concerned that any mistake on his part might jeopardize her and lead her into a trap. However, this was the path she had chosen, and she didn't want Collin to carry such a heavy psychological burden because of it.
Therefore, entrusting this task to Collin was the most appropriate choice. It would allow him to help her while alleviating some of his mental stress.
"Alright, Ms. Bonnie. Tell me what you need me to do," Collin asked eagerly.
Bonnie was silent momentarily before speaking, "I'll reveal the location within Billy's organization to you. You will lead a team to capture Falcon. I will be with Falcon, and you will pretend to shoot him. I'll come out to shield Falcon from the gunfire. Just be careful not to hit any vital parts of my body."
Collin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me to shoot at Falcon, and you plan to shield him? Is this really what you want me to do? Are you sure you're not joking?"
"I'm not joking; this is my plan," Bonnie replied, her tone unchangingly calm.
