Mandy stared at the shaking jungle, completely stunned. 'Did she really run off from her friends again?'
While she stood there in shock, Lyra yelled toward where Taryn had bolted, "Run as we planned! I'll keep her busy."
Then she attacked Alaria even more fiercely.
Mandy was totally confused, 'Wait, what? When did them come up with this plan? And why am I clueless?'
Anton frowned and said, "Alaria, the document should be with that girl. Go after her."
"Got it," Alaria replied.
She swung her nunchaku to block Lyra, who quickly chased after her. That made Alaria even more determined not to let Taryn escape.
He dodged Lyra's punches and took off after Taryn. The remaining four paused briefly in the forest.
Anton's eyes darted between Thierry and Lyra. Then he sneered, "Looks like we can't waste any more time."
