Inauguration Day

Meanwhile…

"Damn…" Tiger breathed out, stopping several blocks from Dragon's mansion. He lowered his head, staring at the thick smoke and fire ascending in the sky as police and firefighters locked the area for safety.

"She burned it down," Fig remarked, sitting in the backseat while staring at the mansion. "We're late."

Tiger's expression hardened, gripping the steering wheel tighter. "She woke up."

"Now, we're back to square one." Fig sighed, snapping his eyes at the window when Moose stopped beside it with his motorbike. Rolling down the window, he asked, "What happened?"

"I asked around, but all I got is that it's probably a gas leak." Moose pulled up his visor, staring at the people in the SUV. "But the men I planted here told me the fire started before midnight. That's an hour ago."

"Do you think she's still around the area?"

"I doubt," Tiger hissed, eyes glinting. "She probably left earlier than that."
