As the shadows of dusk stretched across thend, Kysons men trudged back to their base, disheartened.


    One of them approached Kurt, reporting, Sir, we were unable to locate Mr.


    Shaw.


    The vtile situation in Medican, characterized by its tangled web of factions, made aprehensive search perilous.


    Stirring up conflict with other groups risked provoking further disturbances.


    Kurt gazed anxiously at the monitoring systems darkened red dot, representing Kysons GPS signal.


    Embedded in both his phone and on his person, this tracking device was built to monitor him continuously.


    Although the device was waterproof, it was not designed to withstand prolonged immersion in seawater.


    At this moment, Kurt could only hold onto the hope that Kyson was still alive.


    As he mulled over their next move, the distant hum of an aircraft drew his attention. A subordinate burst in.


    Sir, theres a private ne circling overhead, seeking anding spot.


    Should we intercept it? Recalling Dulcies previous phone call, Kurt quickly decided.


    Direct the ne tond.


    Ensure the passengers are treated with courtesy.


    Once theynd, escort them here without dy! Yes, sir! Meanwhile, aboard the aircraft, Dulcie looked down at the undting mountains below.


    The captain had announced their arrival at Medican.


    A surge of excitement washed over her, thrilled by the thought of sharing the same air as Kyson once again.


    Ms.


    Burton, we have received clearance to descend. Please prepare fornding, the pilot announced.


    As the aircraft smoothly descended, Dulcie steadied her racing heart.


    She was eager to see Kyson and wondered if he would reciprocate her eagerness.


    Uponnding, a flight attendant handed Dulcie her suitcase with a gracious smile.


    Its been a pleasure meeting you.


    I hope we meet again.


    As the nes door swung open, a group approached to assist with her Luggage.


    Were here on Mr.


    Newmans orders to escort you, one of them announced.


    Mr. Newman? Do you mean Kurt? Dulcie inquired cautiously, seeking confirmation.


    They nodded and presented her with the verification Kurt had provided.


    Relieved, Dulcie followed them, her interest in the new environment intensifying with each step.


    Her doubts dissipated as she eagerly anticipated her reunion with Kyson.


    Soon, the car arrived at the Shaw Groups base, where Kurt awaited her outside.


    Stepping out, Dulcie immediately looked around for Kyson.


    Not finding him, she asked, Kurt, where is he? Kurts face grew somber.


    Mrs.


    Shaw, you must be weary from your journey.


    Please, take some time to rest, and I will exin everything shortly.
