Back with Ren and the others, Kaida glanced at the horizon with a concerned expression on her face.
"Ren, isn't Alister taking too long? Shouldn't they be back by now?"
Ren let out a sigh, he was equally worried. He clicked his communicator and tried to contact Alister.
"Alister, do you copy? Alister, come in." Static filled the channel, and no response came through. He frowned, attempting again. "Alister, are you there?"
The signal remained dead. Ren's brow furrowed deeper.
"This isn't good. I can't get a signal through. Something might be wrong."
Razorgrin, leaning against the side of the truck, scoffed. "He's probably up to no good, like always, even after we decided to trust him. Besides, what's the worst that could happen, the kid has three freaking dragons for pets," he said with a smirk.
