Barrett's face turned red with frustration. He grabbed Carissa's hand, and pulled her to one side.

"Carissa! You know she's been captured, and you won't rescue her? What do you mean by that? Do you know where she is?" he yelled.

Violet snapped a whip in their direction, forcing him to release Carissa's hand and take a step back.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Barrett demanded, pacing with frustration. "Are we just waiting for them to bring her back?"

Carissa's gaze remained calm and steady. "Exactly. We're waiting for them to bring her back."
