asked expectantly.
Harlan nodded.
âI think these documents are enough to convict Adam, but weâd better report it to Gale first and see what she wants us to do next.
â
Now that we had a plan of action, Harlan immediately set out to make a video report for Gale.

Soon, we got a clear reply from her.
âGood job, you two.
â In the video reply, Gale smiled and praised us both.
âEverything youâve collected until now is enough.
You can start making plans to retreat from Roz Town.
â
âFinally!â Harlan pumped his fist ecstatically.
âWe can leave!â
I forced a smile, but I couldnât say I shared the same sentiment.
On the contrary, my heart felt a Little empty.
Harlan was so excited that he didnât notice my lack of enthusiasm.
He immediately sat down and started planning our leave.
âIn order not to arouse any suspicion, I will go pick up Elena.
You should just go to work as usual.
Donât draw any unnecessary attention to yourself, okay?â
âokay.
â
âOnce I have Elena, Iâll meet you.
Then weâll Leave this damned place once and for all!â
âOkay,â I answered robotically.
But I was somewhat absent-minded.
This shouldâve been what I wanted.
Now that our mission was accomplished, I could finally take Elena away from this dangerous place and resume our peaceful lives at the Xeric Pack.
But why did I feel so disappointed at the thought that Caleb and I might never see again if I left now?
Calebâs POV:
When I emerged from the bathroom following my shower, I saw only Carlos standing there, a resigned expression on his face.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of dread engulfed me.
âWhere is Debra?â I asked nervously.
âWhere did she go?â
Carlos, perhaps realizing he had made a mistake, nervously swallowed before explaining to me, âCaleb, please trust me.
I didnât scare Debra away.
â
My eyes went wide.
âShe left?â
Carlos panicked and quickly explained, âI didnât do anything to her
When I entered, I just asked her why she was here, but she just ran away.
