Henry's POV
I hated keeping this a secret from Jasper. But I didn't have a choice of whether or not I can tell him. My boss made me promise to never tell anyone about the secret and that included Jasper. I took an oath to never tell. If I broke the promise to my boss,I would for sure get fired. I didn't want to lose this job.
Losing this job would not do anything useful. It would mean breaking the friendship with a pretty interesting guy. Ray was counting on me from the moment I took the oath to never tell anybody,I didn't want to break his trust.
I wanted to tell Jasper about the job I have so bad but I can't ever tell anyone not even my best friend since we were 5. It hurt me to not be able to tell him. But I did not want to put myself,my boss or anyone in danger.
So as much as it hurt me,it was safer this way. It was safer that nobody outside the Man Cave knew the secret. I wondered what would happen if I told him,would he keep it to himself or would everyone in the Man Cave be in danger?
I didn't think that him knowing would lead to danger but I wasn't sure of that. I think him knowing would make our friendship stronger. I wouldn't have to keep lying to him as to why I was busy. We would spend a lot of time with each other but I couldn't go against the oath that I swore to when I took the job.
