Marcus Monroe and Paige Summers chose to act late at night.
Of course, their target wasn't the zombies in Norgate. It was to deceive Kiera Walsh and his men. After all, they had no intention of rescuing Shawn Monroe first.
That night, after most people were asleep, the two of them quietly sneaked toward Norgate.
In Kiera Walsh's tent, a confidant crept in to report, "They've gone."
"Mm," Kiera Walsh responded flatly, then dismissed his subordinate to rest.
In reality, he was nowhere near as calm as he appeared.
He had promised Marcus Monroe he wouldn't send anyone to follow them. Of course, the real reason was that none of his own men were faster or better at stealth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to swallow his pride and leverage an old friendship just to borrow someone from Black S.
The lack of control over the situation left him feeling uneasy.
Ever since Marcus Monroe had volunteered for the front lines, the course of events seemed to have slipped from his grasp.
