As the member of her team who had uncovered this lead, she felt obligated to join them. While Cassandra and Cassian were eager for different reasons, Dallas had plenty of reasons to want to stay behind.

"It's just for a couple of days, and the department is covering all our expenses. Think of it as a mini vacation," Cassandra replied, glancing at Cassian, who was also looking out the window. But unlike Dallas, who was clearly bored, Cassian seemed excited.

"That's fine with me, but why do we have to stop for him? To let him, fight these monsters!" she said, sounding angry as she glared at Cassian, whose excited smile faded.
