Chapter 243: The Ride Back Home!

Clementine searched high and low but Anderson was nowhere to be found. She inquired around, asking if anyone had seen someone leave the area, but those who kindly engaged in conversation shook their heads, denying any knowledge of his whereabouts.

Their responses piqued Clementine's curiosity. Could there be another secret exit within the building?

It wouldn't be surprising, considering the military often installed emergency exits for security purposes. If no one had seen Anderson leave through the main door, then there seemed to be no other plausible explanation.

Hours later, Clementine returned to her post, wide awake. She observed that most people around were sound asleep, with the lights dimmed to conserve energy, a standard practice in the facility. A faint creak from one of the doors caught her attention before the sound of footsteps echoed through the quiet space.
