Neville's voice was deep and steady.

"Don't worry. I'll send people to help right away."

Haynes, standing nearby, watched Stella's anxious movements. His brow furrowed, but in the end, he said nothing to stop her.

"You're sure it's safe for him to come along?"

Stella caught the implication in Haynes' words and replied calmly, "It's fine. He doesn't even have a phone right now."
