Betrayed

"Oi! What're you doing here?" The guy in his suit sounded concerned by the little girl's presence in this area. She was not supposed to be here.

"I...I am sorry! I don't know how I got here. Uwahhh!! I want to go to my mommy!!!" Suddenly, she started crying, making the bulky man immediately kneel down on his knees to hush her.

He reassured the girl about her safety, and upon her persistent requests, he finally agreed to drop her at least to the dining hall, as it was the closest room on the base floor.

He carried her down the stairs and eventually the wailing of the little girl vanished along with their essence.

"Good job, Lee."

Ayden, who was hidden behind the large vases lining the corridor all this time, finally came out with a sigh and marched front in a jiffy towards the room before the guard arrives.
