1.32 Echoes of Condemnation

Rey gazed out of the car window, a deep sigh escaping her lips. She turned to Micah, her expression filled with concern.

"She still hasn't picked up?" she inquired once more.

Micah frustratedly set his cell phone down, shaking his head. "No," he confirmed.

Rey's heart quickened with worry. "What if she's been caught? It's too suspicious that Luna isn't answering, and Aries wasn't seen during the show. And to top it off, that brat Dorian is still alive and snagged first place," she remarked with a hint of frustration.

Micah ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm his own nerves. "Even if Aries was furious, I doubt he would betray us, and Luna is too smart to get caught. If something had gone wrong, they would have contacted us. They'll be here any minute now, and then we'll find out why they've gone silent," he reassured, though his own doubts lingered.
