Smith's POV
Rollings Office
A month had passed since Veronica had returned, but there was still no sign of Ann.
I was reviewing the search updates we had gathered from our reliable sources.
But more than Ann missing, the thing that was bothering me was…Veronica was least bothered Ann was still missing.
They got kidnapped together, yet Veronica came back and Ann was still missing.
And no matter what, she was part of the River Protection force and got into trouble only because she was with Veronica.
I even began to wonder whether Veronica's return has something to do with Ann not returning.
A month since her missing, now my worry was turning into anger.
I took my leave from the office.
Council Chamber
"Smith?" the River representative said.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to let you know the River Protection force will seize its functions immediately."
"What??" the representative said, shocked.
"How can you all stop working?"
