In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Are you two going to be here tomorrow?" Kaia asked Shia and Faith who shook their heads.

"We need to do something else." Faith said, looking at Shia. "Right?"

"Yes." She said, "I don't know how long it is going to take also. What about you and Dorran and Max?"

They all turned to Dorran who is looking at his phone. "Kaia, we need to go out tomorrow. It is very important."

"Nothing is more important than Carlotta," Kaia signed, frowning at him. "You should know that already."

"Of course I do." He said, sighing, "She will still be needing us tomorrow and if it was something I could avoid, I wouldn't have told you about this. You know that."

"What if you go alone?" She asked, looking at him, pleading just a little bit.

"I wish I could do that for Carlotta, Kaia. But I can't, not his one." he showed his phone to Kaia and she read the message from Isle.

"We need to talk tomorrow. ASAP. They are on the move."
