Scarlett was stunned.
"—I get it!" She interrupted Rex before he could finish his sentence. Because this mission involved her mother, her attention was distracted.
As her mind became more focused, she touched her earpiece and said, "Nine, Twelve, check Seven's position. He hasn't reported in."
"Right away," Twelve responded.
"Be careful, guys," she cautioned. After giving them instructions, she hurried to the back door.
Happy reading. Please throw yr power stone and golden ticket. Thanks :)
