After assessing Warren for a full day and night, Quinlyn finally decided to stand up for him.

Warren was taken aback, and the heavy stone pressing down on his heart felt as though it was crumbling away at that moment. He blinked back tears, overwhelmed with gratitude.

He looked down into Quinlyn’s clear eyes and realized she had never judged him; now, she was willing to come forward for him.

“Thank you, Quinlyn. You have to come back safely,” Warren said earnestly.

“Mm–hmm.” Quinlyn nodded, tucking the gun into her jacket as she turned to catch up with the investigation team.

The team, fueled by adrenaline, matched Quinlyn’s pace, and they ran hard toward the first landslide.

As they approached, Quinlyn noticed unusual footprints in the mud.

“These are from the anti–magnetic suits,” Bennett identified the patterns, spotting a long drag mark on the ground. “They still have a hostage–it’s Michael!”

He’s alive! That news instantly boosted everyone’s spirits.

Quinlyn felt a slight alleviation in her chest, but the faint metallic scent of blood told her Michael was likely injured, leaving no time to waste.

Just then, gunfire erupted suddenly. The team quickly dropped to the ground, peering toward the source of the noise.

Through the gaps in the treetops, they could see two groups of people facing off against each other.
