Leonard immediately veered the drone away.
Instead of heading back home, he steered it in the opposite direction.
Bringing it straight back now would be no different from exposing their exact location.
"Uncle, fly it farther," Suzy said.
"Got it." Leonard kept his eyes on the controls as he guided the drone deeper into the distance. "No idea how long those people will stick around…"
If they didn't leave anytime soon, the drone might never make it back.
They would have to wait.
Still, neither of them believed that group would stand out in the torrential rain forever, just waiting for the drone to reappear.
Suzy's gaze swept across the screen. "Uncle, why don't you just find a place to land it?"
Leonard paused. "What do you mean?"
"It's fine if we leave the drone outside for now," she said calmly. "I have more than one in storage."
The moment she said it, Leonard understood.
If it got lost or damaged, it didn't matter. She had plenty.
