Fierce Eagle and Owl Eagle dismissed everyone with a wave of their hands. With heads bowed, the crowd dispersed and left the room...
Tara Summer had lain on the man's chest, perhaps too tired. She fell asleep in just over twenty minutes. By now, the outside was fully bright, the sun showering light onto the land.

His large hand was still softly kneading her abdomen, never pausing, not until the frown on Tara's face relaxed. He had done this for two full hours.

The subordinates never ceased in their search for Noah Smith, but they had nothing to show for it. They could only brave the consequences to report the situation.
