Outside, Michael located Helena at the designated location she had sent him, and the two came face to face once again.

“Where is the child?” he asked, panting heavily. “Why didn’t you inform us before taking the child away?”

Helena was also extremely anxious, but upon hearing this accusation, she immediately became upset. “What are you saying? I should be the one asking how you couldn’t even keep an eye on a child,” she retorted.

Michael’s fury caused his temples to throb. His teammate restrained him. “Enough arguing. Where is Grape?”
