"What about Al? Did he move away from there?" Mark asked in anxiety.
Romano was still rubbing his neck. "If he did, why didn't he come here to us?"
Mark shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe he was scared."
"That coward!" Romano cursed.
"I'm right here." A weak, hoarse voice came from their left side.
They turned around and saw Kilimanjaro and Altan Yul together coming this way. Kilimanjaro was okay but Al was devastated.
Mark asked, "Are you alright?" He didn't know why Al was in such a state.
Romano moved a step away. "Waak! You smell blood!"
Al glared at them and said, "Next time, if you want to guard her, then do it by yourself. I'm not taking any part of that again in my life."
They all saw the vicious red mark around his neck. They realized that their little girl lashed out her anger on Al. They felt sympathy for their comrade.
