Chapter 162. At the Location

“Please be safe.”
Uncle Pete hugged me tightly. I felt the fear radiating off him. I hugged back, forcing my own fear not to surface.

“I will.”

“God be with you.”
Miss Nancy enveloped me in a warm hug as well.

“I hope,” I murmured.

Then it was Celine’s turn. Anyone would think I was embarking on a journey of no return, judging by all the hugs and gloomy faces. Well, with dangerous and power-hungry men like Philip Pillax, it could very well be.

“I haven’t known you for long, but you’re a good person. Please come back.”
Her hug was shorter but warm.

“I will.”

I checked the time again. Ten past four in the morning. The location had been sent at exactly 4:01 a.m. Nobody had slept. We had all kept vigil.
