own world, and Julian and Booker have taken off. It's just way too much for the two of us to handle!"

Before Sophie could get a word in, Jenna's voice burst through the line, "Sophie, I know I shouldn't whine, but I'm at my wit's end. You've got to come back soon! Odie, our go-to guy, is laid up in bed, and Harold is as elusive as ever. Elodie's completely caught up in her Hearing the distress in Jenna's voice made Sophie hesitate: "So I..."

"Just hang on for three more days. We'll head back right after."

Colby took the phone and casually ended the call.

Sophie remarked, "The workload at S Corporation is insane. Tricia's drowning in it, and Adler and Jenna have their own company to run. Isn't three days a bit much?"

"I've got someone covering for them. We can't leave for the next three days."

"Why?"

"Kiran's on the run."

Sophie was taken aback, "Kiran escaped?"

The last time she'd seen Kiran was over a month ago. Back then, he'd shot her and then vanished into thin air. Had he been abroad this whole time?

"What's going on?"

Sophie frowned, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

Colby hesitated for a moment, then said, "Caelum called. The Pollard family wanted to keep it under wraps, so they locked Kiran up, hoping to erase his personality. But it didn't work, and Kiran escaped, taking Sandy with him." Sophie shook her head, "No need to worry about Sandy. She's Kiran's sister; he'll take good care of her."

But still... Thinking back to when Kiran shot her, and the knife he plunged into her shoulder. The pain lingered. Such a dangerous personality.

"Colby, if you got the chance to go head-to-head with Kiran, could you take him?"

Colby paused before replying, "Having seen his skills, I can't

fully confident." Content t

"How confident are you?"

"About fifty percent."

Sophie raised an eyebrow, "And what about Griffin?"

"Less than fifty."

"So, if you can't beat him, Griffin's got even less of a shot?"

"Seems that way."

Colby continued, "Griffin might have the muscle, but he lacks Kiran's cunning. Last time in the cave, Kiran used you to hold me back. His

moves were quick, precise, and net

ruthless. Even when Odie and Jonah jumped in, they couldn't pin him down. Clearly, Kiran was holding back."

"Holding back... so we really don't know his full potential."

Sophie shook her head, "I hope... he's not our enemy."

Though Sophie knew that was wishful thinking.

"Scared?"

"A little."

They thought they'd weathered the storm, only to find themselves in deeper waters.

"True."

But their sights were already set on Odie. How far off could they be?
