Now thinking of the young boy, though, Charles hadn't seen any signs of him. Curiosity and anticipation coursed through his body as he awaited the glorious entry of the one they owed everything to.
It would seem that in his desperation, Charles had forgotten about the death of Ana, and how he would explain her demise to Jeremy.
Searching through the group for signs of the boy of interest, the Camp leader was met with surprise, though.
'He's… not here…?!'
He counted the number of Gifted who belonged to his Camp—36! His eyes spotted Lara, who was supposed to be a deserter, yet clearly allied with the team.
Seeing that she possessed the highest level among those on his side, Charles knew better than to complain. If she was helping them, that was for the best.
Still, he couldn't contain his surprise and confusion.
"Where is Jeremy?" His voice leaked out unconsciously.
