Chapter 66
It was around 2 o'clock in the morning when Salt and Drake decided to switch places.
The forest was tranquil so far—which was something they didn't expect. They may have seen a few wild animals here and there, but that's it. Those creatures didn't try to approach their campsite.
Apart from their chosen location being a far off beaten track, Drake surrounded the area with chemicals that could ward off potential intruders.
Salt must say that the guy's specifically good at this kind of thing. Thanks to the traps that he planted around, their security was tripled.
Amber and Pepper are leaving in a few hours from now, and Salt feels somehow conflicted.
He's the only one who has been taken away from their main squad.
He's not saying this because he feels lonely, but instead—for the apprehension that builds up inside his chest.
