บท 98: Insides of the mission

"Cleo?" Krist asked. His body twitched lightly. "What happened?" The man's looks sharpened.

"Need help?" Kris asked, getting straight to the point. 'From the feel of the situation, I guess she woke up rather abruptly,' the man thought for a second. With Mathew's assurance, he didn't need to worry about his daughter. 

Rather than that, he could pull his full attention to solving the situation.
