On the outskirts of Summer City, over a hundred kilometers from Atlanta.
Dean McKenzie and the mystery man watched in shock as Bruce Hodge turned his back and walked away.
They never saw this coming.
In just the duration of a phone call, Bruce Hodge, who had been relentlessly pursuing them, suddenly lost his momentum and left.
He left so decisively, he didn't utter one threatening word, which left Dean McKenzie and the mystery man stunned for a moment.
Dean McKenzie asked bewilderedly, "Who was that phone call from?"
Rolling his eyes, the mystery man retorted, "Who knows, maybe some old man. Now is not the time to decipher that. Don't you think we still have more crucial matters at hand?"
"Don't tell me you believe that we're safe just because Bruce Hodge has left?
He merely left, he didn't die, so he can change his mind at any moment.
