Noah glanced at his friend and Joshua immediately understood what the man was referring to.
Nodding at him lightly, he left the room, leaving Noah and Ian to handle everything.
Noah called Aria while Ian took it upon himself to inform Valerie.
Meanwhile, Joshua opened the door to the room where Amber was locked and entered, his face unreadable.
Amber had her eyes closed. But as soon as she heard the footsteps, her eyes fluttered open and she almost jumped in joy, if not for the restraints that held her still.
"Joshua, you are finally here. You are here," she mumbled in disbelief. "I knew you'd come. I knew you would come to save me. How can you let me die? You would never leave me to die. That's not you."
Amber kept speaking, not noticing Joshua's resentful gaze.
