After both men arrived, Eagle was standing behind James, but he kept his eyes lowered without looking at Irene.He had no idea what happened that Irene would suddenly move her entire family over to Franconia, but he was sharp enough to tell that it was something serious. It would not explain her urgency otherwise.Looking at Irene just then, James murmured, "Mrs. Jefferson…"Irene said bluntly, "You're coming with me. We're going to find him.""I can do it alone," James replied. "Your family—""Eagle can take care of them," Irene said, turning toward Eagle just then. "I'd like you to protect my children."Eagle stepped forward and said, "Yes, I'll do my best."Irene had planned that from the beginning, which was why she asked if Eagle could come along. She had faith in Eagle's abilities.James wanted to talk her out of it, but Irene spoke before he could. "Do you think I can rest easy if you don't let me go?"Seeing that her mind was set, James decided to stop talking her ou

"Where?!" Irene asked urgently."It's quite a distance," James said. "We have to foot it.""Alright, let's go," Irene said urgently. "Take me there."It was fine if it was far. She wanted to see if it was Isaac right away! With the Dunesians leading the way, they strode through the pathless mountain and climbed up the mountain. Along the way, Irene missed a large rock beneath her foot and slipped, bending her foot in an odd angle.As she gasped in pain, Zachary asked from behind her, "Are you alright?'"I'm fine," Irene said, shaking her head—she would not delay the others. However, her ankles hurt, and she thought it might be a sprain.The skies overhead were turning dark, but they trudged along with their flashlights.The trek remained difficult as ever, and they would spot debris from the wreckage from time to time.Irene tried her best not to look, so as to calm herself. Soon, it was night, and their environment was much quieter and colder.Even so, they were all s

Along the way, Irene felt tense—she was at once excited and hopeful.She felt really charged even after days of running about without food or sleep.Zachary passed her a piece of bread. "Eat. Don't look half-dead when you meet Isaac again.""You're the one who looks half-dead," Irene retorted even as she took it.Still, Zachary was relaxed to know that Isaac might be fine. "I knew it. You're trying to make yourself look pitiful so that Isaac would feel sorry for you, right?"Irene really wanted to roll her eyes at him. "You have a wonderful imagination."Zachary chuckled.Nonetheless, Irene ate the bread and drank some water, immediately feeling revitalized after she did.Zachary was going to tell her to get some sleep as well, but she probably would not fall asleep given her tense state. He said nothing, while hoping that the helicopter would move faster and take them back to Franconia.Naturally, the wait was grilling, and Irene was constantly checking the time.Once the

Bob hated Ricky for his betrayal, and he fired a shot straight at Ricky before the police officers could subdue him!However, Martin York stepped in the bullet's way, and the shot hit him on the back.He was rushed to the hospital right away for emergency surgery, but the bullet was lodged too close to Martin's heart. They needed the best heart surgeons to extract it, or the risk would be too serious.While the hospital arranged for the surgery, Lulu Adams was still at home.She knew about the operation today, and although she never received word, she was afraid to call Martin since she might disturb him while he was on the job.When she had enough of waiting, she headed straight to the precinct, where the higher-ups were interrogating Bob.Lulu's worries eased, since it seemed that the operation was a success, and Ricky was the most vulnerable asset—he would definitely be killed if the crime ring realized he was the mole.Finding Johnny, one of Martin's squadmates, she asked, "

Irene quickly and hastily treated her sprain before leaving.Tommy ran up to her, hugging her leg. "Mommy, where are you going? Can't you play with me? This place is really fun. I really like it here!""Sorry, Mommy's busy," Irene said, tenderly petting his little head. "You stay here and listen to Grandma."Tommy blinked at her. "Mommy…?"Eagle came and scooped Tommy up in his arms. "I'll keep them safe, ma'am."Irene certainly believed in Eagle and nodded. "I'm counting on you.""It's what I should do," Eagle replied.As Irene started down the stairs, Eagle called out to her again. "Ma'am…"Irene turned. "Yeah?"Eagle headed inside his room and brought her a bottle of ointment."People in my line of work always have some medication prepared. Just spray it on the affected area, and it will ease the swelling.""Thank you," Irene said."You're welcome," Eagle replied. - James arrived just as Irene stepped out of the front door of the castle, and he took her straight to t
