Axel took care of the convoy arrangements, giving Galen and Bell the rest of the day together.
Meanwhile, Ashleigh met with Nessa and Clara about any updates on retrieving the information from the flash drive. Unfortunately, there was nothing new for them to report. But Nessa, apparently having no fear of repeating the past, suggested a questionable source of information.
Ashleigh took a deep breath before she knocked on the door.

Ashleigh took a deep breath.
“Can I come in?”
Alice stepped aside to let Ashleigh into the room.

Ashleigh hesitated to answer.
