"Uhh... what's taking her so long?" Slater darted his eyes around, frowning. "Is she alright? Or maybe "

"I sent you a location. Find out who the baker is and tell him I invite him to work for me on the side. I don't care if you have to drag him to me," Atlas ordered over the phone. Everyone could just imagine the kind of face Allen was making on the other end.
