CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT:

Bang, Bang! (2)

Althea was relieved after knowing that there was someone who was listening to them and guiding them towards safety, also, she was glad that she have someone to tell about the fake bomb threats of these people.

She doesn't have her phone and she was running, as well as Tyler, she did not considered asking him about his phone earlier since they have no time to dial someone's number while running. But to think he was already on call, it makes things convenient for them.

"That suffice-" she said between her breathes. "Tell her that they are only-"

He opened his mouth and Althea thought he will just shout for them to stop running again like what he did earlier, but he did not.
