We were at the port. All of the Elite Council was present to defend Derek should there be a fight. The deal was that the cure was going to be tested at the port so that the hunters wouldn't have access to the island the way Aiden did.
The moment the group of six hunters emerged from the submarine, they revealed their faces, except for two, who remained hidden under hooded cloaks. The secrecy made me queasy and I found myself searching for Derek's reaction. From the way he was staring at the two hooded hunters, I could tell that he too sensed something was amiss.
Our suspicions were confirmed when, with panic laced in his voice, Aiden, who was standing beside me, shouted out, "I don't know these people. This isn't them. These aren't the hunters."
