Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent.

"Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly.

"Not at all."

Perhaps he had been expecting too much.

As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was why should he expect her to be anything more? Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore.

"I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!"

With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone.

"Ambs..."

Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device.

Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on.

"What's the password?" Jasper asked gently, his voice steady as his gaze met Alyssa's tear-filled eyes.

With trembling hands, Alyssa took the phone and entered Axel's birthdate. The screen unlocked instantly.
