Their moment of respite was interrupted by Leon, who approached with a serious expression.

Carlisle and Wanda quickly turned around to see the group of elderly women resuming their charge. They all wore expressions of determination. Two security guards were among them, batons in hand.

Encouraged by Leon’s words, Wanda finally moved forward and carefully leaned onto Carlisle’s back.
