Anselm Hughes ignored Drake Shaw and asked,
"What do you think, Captain Jacobs? Can we still cross this bridge?"
"We can't."
Nina Jacobs answered without hesitation.
Anselm Hughes fell silent for a moment, then finally said to everyone, "Get in the cars. We're taking a detour."
Seraphina Chase and the others exchanged slightly surprised glances.
'General Hughes has never trusted someone like this before.'
'He actually asked a newcomer for their opinion?'
After they set off again, Cecily Wells couldn't help but put aside her previous disdain and probing.
"You're really something, being able to tell that was a trap."
Cecily Wells's tone held a hint of fawning.
"I was just guessing. I thought the bridge deck would collapse, not that it would electrocute someone."
Nina Jacobs answered truthfully.
"Still, who could be so vicious as to set up a trap like that?"
Cecily Wells said as she drove.
"Well, that depends on who General Hughes might have offended."
