บท 131: The Trail Ended

Alexis contacted Lieutenant Bowen to inform him of the progress that their team had made, "Lieutenant," she waited for Lieutenant's reply.

"Yes, Alexis, what is it? Did something happen?" Bowen was concerned if their team had come across another pack of the animals.

Alexis spoke in a voice that had a tinge of excitement in it, "Yes. We came across a trail of footprints and we are pretty sure that it was from David."

"Really? That-that's great then," Bowen was so happy that he felt a lump in his throat. He felt as though he would have cried right now if it was not for him being surrounded by his subordinates. "Where did you find the footprints? Where are you all right now?"

"We walked 20 degrees to the east from where the crafts are." And Alexis asked the Lieutenant, "What about your team, Lieutenant? Did you come across any clues?"

"No, not yet," Bowen sounded somewhat defeated.
