The three maintained a suitable silence.
"I’m tired."
Flossie Wright answered listlessly.
As a result, the group collectively remained silent.
It seemed—
This reason was indeed plausible.
However, they recalled seeing R endure a three-day and night ambush, thinking that last night R should have slept well enough, and so in this thought, the reason seemed inadequate.
But, the four did not pursue the inquiry further.
Everyone has some matters on their minds.
Especially women they cannot comprehend...
If it was the physiological period, that too was entirely understandable.
Thus, after a period of dispiritedness, they resumed their high spirits.
Flossie Wright watched all their actions from under the brim of her hat, occasionally a flicker of helplessness flashed in her eyes, but mostly she remained emotionless.
She indeed had worries.
She was pondering about Glenn Hutchinson.
For these three months, she had been busy with the Anonymous.
She planned actions with Ice, contacted some clients, strategized against Bailey Maynard’s movements and found ways to provoke Gavin, even managing to remain unnoticed throughout this series of actions...
Too busy to have any mood to think of anything else.
Until these past two days, the internal conflict in West Hare became more intense, the news reports were overwhelming, and she unexpectedly looked at the date, realizing that the time set with Glenn Hutchinson was almost upon her.
Honestly, she was already unclear about her feelings for Glenn Hutchinson.
No, not really.
They all understood that Glenn Hutchinson couldn’t be blamed for this.
It was all done according to orders; being in the Forces, Flossie Wright could equally understand such feelings, everything prioritizes orders and the people.
Just like she understood why the country had to eliminate the Taylor Family, she also understood Glenn Hutchinson’s involvement, it wasn’t Glenn’s fault.
Some things are just like that, that’s how they are.
She never believed in destiny or fate, but often had to accept them.
To believe in those, after all, have some hopes.
Resentment?
Surely there’s a bit.
She resented the situation that involved Glenn Hutchinson, equally resenting Glenn for concealing from her.
When she didn’t know who it was, she could interact normally with everyone in Aaron Doom, but knowing Glenn Hutchinson was among them, everything changed completely.
When something makes sense both emotionally and logically, why couldn’t she accept it?
She had thought about it.
In the end, only one possibility remained.
What she couldn’t accept was that this man had once stained himself with her parents’ blood.
Thus, the matter was like being tied with a deadlock.
Impossible to untie even in death.
Thinking of this, Flossie Wright felt bouts of headache.
Especially—
She had promised Glenn Hutchinson she needed to face it.
Not knowing how long had passed, when the crescent moon outside rose to the top of the sky, the armored vehicle finally stopped at a small campsite.

Among the five large tents, two were used for accommodation, while Flossie Wright and Ice had a separate one, relatively smaller.
Around the tents, several vehicles were stationed; one specifically for cooking, a large truck for collective actions, along with an off-road jeep and their armored car, with sufficient equipment.
And the terrain here was easy to defend, hard to attack, backed by an unscalable mountain, with a large river upfront, sandbag obstacles piled nearby the campsite, with someone always on guard in shifts.
