They made it to one of the biggest hotels in Vancouver in record time, with Lyra setting a brisk pace and offering no explanation.

The old man's voice still carried warmth despite his recent brush with death. "How're you feeling, Mr. Thompson?" Alex asked.

"Can't complain," Joe replied with a grateful nod. "I owe it all to you. Frankly, I wouldn't be breathing if not for that pill you gave me."

She motioned to the muscular man.
