He was kicking himself. Of all the times to goof off, he had to ck at a moment like this.
Marc hung his head and pounded his chest in remorse, burying his face into it.
“What’s the point of doing this now?”
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded near his ear.
Marc turned his head in confusion and saw Raven ring at him with open disdain. Lyra stood behind her, her expression serious and her gaze clear and sharp.
“Raven, you’re here? Please check the security footage first. We’ll be there soon.”
Tess caught every bit of the noise from Marc’s side of the call and quickly grabbed the phone to instruct her.
“I know. Lyra and I will review the footage first to figure out what happened. Get here as soon as you can.”
Raven was nothing like her usual carefree self now. Her face was cold and decisive.
She cut off the call in Marc’s hand and crossed her arms with a raised brow. “What are you standing around for? You want to wait until they’re out of Aetheris before you move?”
Marc’s expression shifted. He bit his lip and stood up. “The security footage is here. Come with me.”
Normally, he and Raven were always at each other’s throats, but this time, even though her tone was just as sharp, Marc kept quiet and didn’t argue back.
He led Raven and Lyra straight into the study. On theputer screen was the surveince video he had already watched once.
“I was out for about two or three hours. That guy was disguised as a delivery driver. He came to the door a few minutes after I left and tricked the couple into leaving with him.”
He clenched his teeth. With every word, the guilt in his chest grew heavier.
His hands balled into fists, almost swallowed by regret.

Lyra and Raven were already seated at theputer, eyes fixed on the footage.
“Pause.”
Raven frowned, as if she’d noticed something, and told him to stop the video.
Lyra clicked the mouse, and the screen froze.

The frame stopped right as Nichs and Rachel got into the car, and the “delivery driver” turned to leave.
“Here.”
Raven’s eyes darkened. She pointed into a dim corner of the screen and looked at Marc. “Can you brighten this?”
“Sure.”
Marked by their intensity, Marc hurried to adjust the image.
As the picture became clearer, Raven put a hand on Marc’s arm, signaling him to stop. Understanding shed in her eyes. “The license te.”
She tapped the screen.
Lyra and Marc looked closer. The blur that had been there before now revealed a few visible characters.
Lyra immediately took a photo. “I’ll send the te number to…”
Her first thought was the police, but she stopped herself.
Nichs’s situation had always been handled in secret. Involving the police might blow their
cover.
Lyra pressed her lips together, hesitated, then looked at Raven. “You and Marc keep watching the footage and <i>see </i>if there’s anything else. I’ll talk it over with Tess.”
After that, she nodded to them and left the study to make the call.
Raven reyed the video in slow motion, her eyes glued to the screen.
Marc watched her in silence, a hint of surprise in his gaze.
Today’s Raven was nothing like the one he knew.

Raven sensed his stare but ignored it, focused only on the video.

“This ‘delivery driver‘ probably dealt with Nichs first, then used him to threaten Rachel into opening the door and getting into the car with him.”
She tapped the screen, her tone certain.
Marc nodded and pointed. “Yeah. Nichs always has his back to the camera here, but you can tell he’s unsteady. The guy’s basically holding him up and moving him along.”
Raven lifted her chin slightly. “That ‘delivery driver‘ must work out regrly or have a physical job. And Nichs was most likely drugged the moment he touched him.”
With that exnation, the strange details in the footage made sense.
Outside, Lyra was on the phone with Tess.
She briefly exined what they’d found, then asked, “Should we call the police?”
Tess’s face darkened.
Lyra’s call hade suddenly, so Tess had answered on the spot. The moment Tess heard it, her expression turned grim.
Connor’s jaw tightened. “I’ll go back with you.”
