The distance from the stadium to the school infirmary was considerable, requiring about twenty minutes to walk.

Given their current condition, Beatrice and Leilani would be unable to make the trip. Therefore, the observer

called for a campus shuttle cart, the school’s transport service for students.

“Briar, could you please help me take them to the infirmary? Thank you so much,” the observer said gratefully

when Briar offered to help. He needed to be present at the sports event at all times, and he was concerned that his

partner might feel overwhelmed. Now that Briar was willing to assist, it was a tremendous relief.

“I’m happy to help! You can return to your work—I’ll take care of things here,” Briar said with a smile as she gently

encouraged the observer to leave. Then, with Beatrice and Leilani watching in fear, she climbed into the cart,

Briar patted the shoulder of the driver up front. “Let’s go, lan.”

Leilani had no idea who lan was, but Beatrice, who had once explored the international dark web, knew a thing or

hurried out of the cart. Beatrice, on the other hand, was left behind as the shuttle sped off to who knows where. Briar turned to Leilani, who was trembling. “What did you just see?” she asked,

I don’t know a thing!” Leilani exclaimed, shaking her head frantically as her survival instincts kicked into high
