Chapter 38: Mystery of a name Ciara
The Rangers inside the building stepped aside, their eyes glued in tense silence as Blue and the Rogues walked out confidently, returning to their groups. They didn’t dare block their path, aware that any movement could provoke Coco into harming the President or launching an attack on the civilians hiding within the building. They felt helpless and powerless to act in the face of such danger.
"I know that name," Alex hesitated, "Wasn’t she the woman who died with my mom?"
Seraphina and Tyson’s ears perked up at the mention. Tyson had always known that Alex’s mother had died in an accident, but he had no idea there was someone else with her when she passed away.
Seraphina remained in the dark, ignorant of the complete circumstances surrounding the tragedy in which Alex lost his mother. There was so much she didn’t understand, leaving her utterly unaware of the seriousness of the situation around her.
Blue led the remaining Rogues toward Coco, still hesitating as he approached.
"Alright, now that we’re all here, we can finally start, right?" Dex said with a grin. "I’ve been looking forward to this. Let’s get it done."
Coco sensed that something was wrong with Blue. "You seem a bit down."
Blue wasted no time. "Mr. President, is it true that you knew about our base all along?"
President Edmund nodded silently. "The hangar by the riverbank. It’s hardly unseen."
The Rogues who overheard this were taken aback. They had no idea the President was aware of their hideout all along.
"Did he know?" one of them whispered.
