Perry Reed withdrew his gaze with a chill.
Flossie Wright no longer paid him any attention.
As for the reason, Flossie Wright hadn’t actually thought about it.
Using what reason to persuade Perry Reed?
Perry Reed didn’t want her to stay here, first because of Glenn Hutchinson, and second... because of her.
Aaron Doom, this force, had once been the source of her hatred.
But now, she had given up, yet Perry Reed couldn’t let go.
Flossie Wright couldn’t find a reason to convince Perry Reed, just as she had not yet completely let go of that resentment.
Losing one’s family was not just talk.
Perry Reed glanced at her twice but ultimately did not pursue the matter further, standing up from the campfire.
In the center of the triangular campfire, Perry Reed had previously chosen some wood to arrange into a "bed," to prevent the ground from leeching body heat, covered with a layer of dried straw.
There was no need to worry about sleeping.
Perry Reed lay down facing the mouth of the cave, while Flossie Wright turned her back to him to tend the fire.
A few minutes later, Flossie Wright suddenly spoke.
Perry Reed’s voice was alert and cold, obviously not asleep.
"Did you put a tracker on God?" Flossie asked indifferently.
"Mm." Perry Reed didn’t deny it.
Flossie Wright’s expression didn’t change.
It wasn’t surprising that the Marine Corps news was accessible to Perry Reed, but Aaron Doom’s intelligence wasn’t easily leaked. It had been difficult for Perry Reed to find their assessment location.
First, letting God find her, then based on God’s location coordinates, he could come over and find her.
It was quite a painstaking effort.
The two of them stopped talking.
Perry Reed was motionless, unknown if he had fallen asleep.
And since the afternoon nap, Flossie Wright was very alert, adding firewood to the flames one by one, even going out once to bring in more wood.
Flossie Wright had intended to wake Perry Reed at two in the morning, but just after midnight, Perry Reed got up and forcibly sent Flossie to sleep.
So, Flossie, who had half-burned wood left, fell asleep comfortably after passing the mission to Perry Reed.
At five in the morning.
Flossie Wright naturally woke up.
The sky hadn’t brightened yet, the outdoors was pitch-black, every object shrouded in darkness.
Inside the cave, however, the firelight still flickered, the wood in the three campfires tirelessly burning.
God was resting at her feet, eyes tightly closed, presumably also resting.
Turning over and getting up, Flossie Wright looked for Perry Reed’s figure inside the cave.
She saw him by the campfire closer to the inside.
He was sitting to the side, his right leg slightly bent, his right elbow resting on his knee, his left hand holding a chopped piece of wood, playing with it in his hands.
His black coat was open, revealing the white shirt inside.
The contrast of black and white, the casual and willful posture, was just like the presence she remembered.
"I’m stepping out."
Standing up, Flossie Wright bent down to pick up her hat, casually informing Perry Reed.
"To see that person?"
Perry Reed slightly raised his eyes, his gaze cooling as he stared at Flossie Wright.
Putting on her military cap, Flossie Wright replied.
So early, not in a rush to travel, of course she was going to see Liliana Prutoz.
Unknown circumstances; she’d pretend she was idle and bored, going out for a walk.
Perry Reed’s eyes flashed briefly, bringing a finger to his lips, and he whistled softly.
