Ace and Zia ran out of the forest and boarded the cab that had brought them there.
Throughout the journey, no one spoke a word to each other.
Zia had her eyes outside the window while Ace continued to tap his thighs.
It was obvious that what they saw had left them shocked beyond words. How would they explain to people that their Captain... One of the best heroes is nothing but a monster?!
They had always looked up to him not only as a mentor but as brother and friend. Zia had always had feelings for him but recently, she decided to let go of her worldly feelings and look at the bigger picture.
But now... Things were different.
"We can't keep quiet," Ace whispered.
Zia turned and glanced at him, he was staring at her. Their eyes met and Zia saw the look in his eyes.
He had made up his mind already.
"What do you want to do?" She asked him.
"We report to the headquarters," Ace replied.
