Erin immediately inquired, "What's this Plan B? Haven't we failed?"
Keira turned to her, "What exactly did we accomplish?"
Erin scrutinized the two of them. They had done nothing more than travel a long distance, arriving here only to witness Professor Barry Brandt being captured.
Erin frowned, and after a moment of thought, she seemed to understand. "So, it's all a diversion! The real rescue mission must have already been set in motion!"
Lewis checked the time and nodded. "Everyone knows the quickest route from Country A to Crera is through this river, so it's heavily guarded here. But Professor Brandt took a different route."
Erin's eyes widened in realization. "Another route would take a whole day by sea and pass through a dangerous strait. No one would expect him to go that way… Lewis, you're quite cunning!"
