After spending two days and two nights outside the base, Theodore was finally able to return. After a long absence, Theodore realized that many things had changed. Now, he could see that their base had started to build a wall.
It was dawn when Theodore and his party arrived, so he didn't see anyone at the base gate. There were only two or three soldiers standing guard there. Theodore thought about the fate of Geoffrey and Roxanne. Did they manage to get a job that day?
"Looks like I'll have to say hello to them later if I see them," Theodore muttered softly as he exited the military car he was riding in.
Just as Theodore was about to walk back to his apartment, he heard Victor's voice in the distance, which made him stop his steps and undo his intention to return home.
"No one should go home first. I still have something to give you," Victor said firmly. He then ordered one of his trusted men to gather the rest of their troops in the barracks.
