Coolest Girl in Town

When the barking cut into their conversation, Jamie finally noticed that Alicia had brought her pet dog along. He was leaning on the window and wagging his tail in excitement.

"Good boy." He walked over to pat the dog on its head. "We only met once, but you remembered me. You have a good memory."

The big dog kept pushing its head against Jamie's palm while wagging its tail faster.

He had no choice but to get closer and put his arms around the dog.

Caressing the dog, he turned around and asked Alicia, "This place is so remote. What brings you here?"

"I'm planning to bring Prince to the farm since there are many animals there. I think he will have fun there," Alicia explained.

She named the dog 'Prince'.

"I see. You're right. Dogs love other animals." Jamie nodded. "Well, I won't keep you longer. Have a safe trip."

"All right. See you next time." After bidding farewell to them, Alicia got in her car and left.

The car already drove away, but Ariel was lost in her thoughts.

"Are you okay?" Jamie thought she hadn't calmed down.

She gazed in the direction the car was leaving as she answered, "I'm wondering if we aren't far-sighted enough. A person indeed can hide in the slum, but people rarely visit rural areas, so they are better hiding spots."

"What you are trying to say is Matthew could be hiding on the farm?" Jamie took the hint and elaborated on her theory.

"Matthew needs a lot of manpower to carry out his plan. The farm is the best spot to hide that many people. What's more, they don't have to go out and seek resources when they can achieve them on the farm." She analyzed the situation.

"What are you waiting for? Let's tell the others! We'll begin the search right now." He was already looking for numbers to dial.

...

Once Alicia arrived at the farm, she kept Prince company when the dog was enjoying outdoor fun.

After he had fun chasing the flock of chickens and ducks, and messing with the cows, Alicia proceeded with playing fetch with Prince, which was his favorite game.

She threw the ball a distance away, and he fetched the ball back to her. They repeated the same steps again and again, both enjoying the moment.
