the woods? What the heck are you up to this time?” Xavier exclaimed with a chuckle and licked his lips, which had turned dry in response to the woman’s seduction. “Oh, nothing much! I’m just happy that I’ll be able to rescue Granny and Rach soon! We can all finally go home!”Realizing she had misspoken, Winnie quickly added, “Granny and Rach don’t know who Mason and the others are, so they might get scared and mistake them for bad guys.

Your granny seems fine, but the young girl looks unwell. Your granny is looking after her as we speak.”Winnie instinctively looked up when she heard that. “Where are you?”Greta said she saw Granny on the second floor, so she must’ve reached some kind of high ground.“I’m on top of a tree, Ms. Garland.”Winnie gave up on searching for Greta when she couldn’t spot her anywhere. “Oh, okay… Continue monitoring the building, then.”Those words had barely left her mouth when Greta said, “The three men are leaving in the car. I saw your granny walk past the window when they drove
