"Sir, ma'am, we can't thank you enough for saving us," said the leader of the group as they approached Kisha and Duke. Once they reached the base's wall, they realized with confusion that there had been no backup or snipers in sight to provide support. They were still puzzled about where the bullet had come from that had saved the woman and child. However, they chose not to press for details, fearing that their questions might be misunderstood.
The leader blinked in surprise as another woman from his group, with short hair, sprang from the crowd and exclaimed, "Young Master Winters! And the woman who led us out of the East District in City A—you're both alive?!" Her voice was filled with excitement as she squealed in delight at the sight of Kisha and Duke.
