I noticed that those three looked a bit beat up and were sweaty like they were so busy being an understaffed rag-tag rescue team.
“That’s great, but how did you find us and why do you want to help us?” I asked them.
“It’s part of our duty and I’m not going to let some rogue company capture some college kids.” Windsor told me in a matter-of-fact way.
“College kids? I graduated last year, you know.” Rhiannon corrected the private eye.
I looked back at my former mentor. “Would you prefer me leaving you back there gagged and bound?” She immediately shook her head. “That’s what I thought.” I heard Darina giggle a bit in the background.
“Sorry it took us a while.” Fatiyyah added. She cocked her hi-tech gun. “We had to deal with those machines in the auditorium before saving everyone we could find.”
I couldn’t imagine Leyden Avalon becoming a warzone. Windsor, Fatiyyah, and Yamikani wight as well be wearing white helmets in this situation as we were under attack like those brave souls from that one documentary I saw recently.
