Mark wanted to send another message to him, to keep him talking more but the time was clearly up. The wall at their side exploded and the female boss gave a small sound of disappointment as she faced the familiar bodies of Alan, Kuro and Luna, all standing in front of them in a ready to fight pose
There was no hesitation in the female's steps as she attacked the party. She did not even look surprised but the slight delay in her step was what clued Mark in on the fact that she had been taken in by surprise.
The other person, the one he had not been able to pin down yet, had been the one guarding Mark and was positioned in such a way that all Mark could see was their cloaked back which again, did not tell him anything at all.
