Chapter 110: Beneath the Surface

Leander

I split off as soon as we hit the ground. My first job is to case the safehouse we’ve selected. To make sure it’s as secure as possible. That no ugly surprises are waiting for us.

Along the way, I hope to meet an ally here and learn the state of things now that we’re on the ground.

It’s difficult to leave Emily at the airstrip. She’ll be safe with Thomas and Azriel—more than safe—but it’s hard all the same.

Harder than it should be.

So, I let them steal off to get her to the safe house while I seek out the first of our contacts.
