บท 96: Surrounded

Jace woke up, the morning light filtering through his window. He quickly got dressed and headed outside, expecting to start the day's plan. However, he was immediately struck by the sight of his teammates standing outside with solemn looks on their faces.

His heightened senses picked up on the presence of various beings surrounding the safe house. The air was thick with tension as he realized they were surrounded. Sighing, Jace muttered, "Just the one time I was about to take a well-deserved rest, we get ambushed."

He turned to Lucian, eyebrows raised in question. "I thought you said this was a safe house."

Lucian shrugged, a puzzled expression on his face. "Same here. I don't understand how they found us."

Jace's gaze shifted to Vincent, suspicion creeping into his voice. "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Vincent nodded, looking genuinely remorseful. "I forgot to remove my tracker when I decided to join the good side."
