Alice, now separated from the group, stood alone and distant. Her expression soured as she considered retreating into the adjacent vegetation, clearly disturbed and intimidated by the crowd.

Hank modestly declined the compliment. “Mr. Ward's orders. Where are you headed, Miss Bennett? “I can offer you a ride.”

Alicia looked at Caden.

She hesitated a moment and then said, “Thanks for the offer, Hank, but I'm not sure if it's on your route. “I’m headed to the Yates mansion.”

Hank replied with a hint of surprise, “Actually, he is on his way. Mr. Ward is on his way, too.”
