The close bond between the cousins wasn't just a matter of blood.

It probably had a lot to do with the fact that Lysander's uncle-Carrol's father- had died in the line of duty when Carrol was still young. Lysander's parents had practically raised Carrol as their own.

Carrol, always steady and dependable, was much older than Lysander. He was more than just an older brother; he was almost a father figure.

He was also the most promising member of this generation of the Montgomery family—the one everyone expected to rise the farthest.

Although he'd enlisted early and spent years away from home, the distance never weakened their bond. If anything, it grew stronger. After Lysander married, Mila would sometimes catch him on the phone with Carrol. The warmth and gentle affection in his voice were rare glimpses of his softer side.

So many years had gone by without seeing each other.

She never expected their paths to cross again-here, of all places.

After a brief, charged silence, Mila forced a small smile and spoke softly. "Good evening, sir."

Carrol nodded in acknowledgment.

Another heavy pause settled over the room. Even with the tension thick in the air, Mila pressed on. "The people at the camp-are they alright?"

"The rescue team's on it. Everyone's safe."

She finally let out the breath she'd been holding. That was all that mattered. Only then did she dare to ask about those who'd tried to kill her. "Did you catch any of the people who came after me? And if you did... what will happen to them?"

"We'll deal with them according to the law. If the charges are serious enough—” Carrol's cool gaze flicked to her, and he finished in a low, deliberate voice, "they'll face a firing squad."

He didn't elaborate on what exactly counted as "serious enough."
