Ace pulled Drex close to her and covered his mouth as she backed into the bushes and hid. A squadron of officers then ran by yelling, " quick! I saw the brat go this way! Don't let him escape!"
A few minutes passed before Ace finally whispered, "where were you? I was worried about you!" She paused for a moment then sighed before continuing. "I guess it doesn't matter... Look. I can't leave yet.... Not without Luciel. I gotta find him then we can all high tail it for the hills and get out of this god forsaken town." She then released Drex. " if you want to; you can go ahead and meet up with David in the woods and wait for me there. But when you start running, don't stop until you can't hear the sirens anymore, okay?"
