Meanwhile, Jannie kept a careful watch, staying far enough behind Eliza to give her space but close enough to intervene if necessary. Her eyes scanned the room, alert for any sign of trouble.
Eliza found the book she was looking for and headed to one of the study tables to quickly skim through its contents. She wanted to make sure it had the information she needed before checking it out. As she immersed herself in the text, she lost track of time, the world around her fading as she delved deeper into her studies.
Just then, Jannie's phone buzzed with an incoming call. It was Vaughn.
"Where's she?" Vaughn's voice was low but urgent.
"Library," Jannie replied, her eyes still scanning the room for any potential threats.
