Aleostood atop the Harlan mansion, surveying the pandemonium below.

Down on the street, he spotted Marco racing along as if a rabid dog were nipping at his heels.

But that wasn't Alex's concern.

Yes, Marco had scammed the Lancasters, but Alex had warned everyone. They'd chosen not to listen. They'd let it happen.

His time was better spent on his own pursuits: finding more money, securing more elixir, leveling up.

There was a battle on the horizon, and his parents' enemy wouldn't wait forever. Careful progress was the only way forward.

A sudden buzz from his phone cut through his thoughts.

"Alex?" came the familiar voice of Ruth, the matron of the orphanage.

"Hey, Ruth. Everything okay?" he asked.

"Are you in Vancouver?"

"Yes. Need something?"

Ruth sighed audibly. "Josephine's in Vancouver on business, and now she's lost. Her phone battery died, and she can't find her way back. Could you help her?"

"Of course," he replied without pause. "Send me her number, and I'll track her last known location."

"Thank you, Alex," Ruth said, relief flooding her tone.

"No worries."

Meanwhile, Josephine sat on a cold metal bench, arms folded tight against her chest.

Frustration etched itself into every line of her face.

"Perfect," she muttered, glaring at her dead phone. "Stranded in the middle of nowhere, and this ancient thing doesn't even have a charger anyone recognizes."

A voice from behind made her jump. "You've got plenty of money, don't you? Why not just buy a new phone?"

She spun around, her face brightening at the sight of Alex.

He stood there with that same cool smirk.

"Alex!" she exclaimed, rushing over and grabbing his hands. "Thank God you're here!"
