Family Surprise

"We're here…"

The rendezvous spot was a secluded clearing, surrounded by dense trees that seemed to form a natural barrier.

The vehicle came to a halt, its engine humming softly before falling silent.

Rey stepped out, his eyes scanning the area.

The air was tense, thick with the weight of expectation and a slight hint of dread.

"Stay alert," Tess muttered as she adjusted the strap of her rifle. Josh nodded, his usual casual demeanor replaced by a sharp focus.

Rey's gaze shifted toward the edge of the clearing, where movement caught his eye.

Two figures emerged from the shadows—a man and a woman. The man walked confidently, his posture straight, exuding authority.

The woman followed a step behind, her eyes cold and calculating.

The moment Rey saw the man's face, his heart skipped a beat. He froze, his breath catching in his throat.

It was him.
