“Miss… Miss… Miss Moore!” Atticus’s hand trembled as he clutched the phone, his voice quivering.
“W-what do I do now?”
“If you’re in Palmetan, find a secure location to hide,” Hannah instructed as she started the car.
“Then send me the address.
I’lle get you.
”
“I’m not in Palmetan!” Atticus eximed anxiously.
“My friend just opened a new bar in Valmere.
It’s downtown.
I’m unfamiliar with the area.
I don’t know where the safest ce is.
What should I do now, Miss Moore?”
In Valmere?

Hannah’s eyes narrowed.
What a stroke of luck!
“I’m in Valmere too.
Send me the address, and I’ll be there in no time.
”
Atticus breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Hannah’s response.
“Okay, I’ll send it to you right away.
”
“Wait,” Hannah interjected before hanging up.
“You’d better stay in a crowded ce.
It’s safer that way.
”
“Okay.
” Atticus swallowed nervously.
“I’ll return to the private room and wait for your call, Miss Moore.
After ending the call, Atticus emerged from the bar’s bathroom.
Upon returning to the private room, he seemed somewhat absent-minded.
His friends noticed his demeanor shift upon his return from the call.
“What’s wrong? You seem troubled,” one of his friends remarked, draping an arm around Atticus’s shoulders.
“With all these beauties around, aren’t you having a good time?”
“Exactly.
We chose these girls based on your taste.
”
“That’s right.
Your ind’s big news, it’s all over the ce.
It’s cause for celebration.
”
“What’s got you so down after that call?”
With a smirk, a man pped Atticus on the shoulder and inquired, “So, is your girlfriend actuallying to check up on you?”
Atticus waved dismissively, stating, “You guys carry on.
I’d rather be left alone tonight.
I’ll cover the expenses.
”
His words were met with immediate cheers from those around him.
