He called Irwin again.

This time, Irwin picked up in front of Briony.

On the other end, Stewart explained that he needed to stay in Northborough for a couple of days. He asked Briony to take Irwin around Cloudcrest City for now- he'd already arranged all their activities in advance.

Briony was left in peace. She teamed up with Stella and James, and the three of them enjoyed a carefree week exploring Cloudcrest City with Irwin in tow.
