Landon walked up to her, affectionately wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pointing ahead with his hand. "Do you see it? It's right there."

Quinn blinked, thinking that Alexander was really inside.

"Let's go." Landon hugged her shoulder and nudged her forward.

There was still some distance to walk from here to the yacht, about ten minutes.

The only certainty was that these people had rather complex identities.

Landon calmly led her towards the cruise ship. The yacht's entrance was guarded by several heavily armed individuals who resembled soldiers but more like mercenaries.

They were covered up tightly, with nothing visible except their eyes peeking out from their helmets.

Quinn curiously looked around. There were many people here; and while she was curious, she also felt a bit scared.
