Afterglow

Chapter 16

Also during my silent movement, I turned on my wrist device and pressed another button, which immediately began playing the vision that Mr. Hawk had seen in my eyes while he was on the upper floor of this deserted building earlier. I'm going through each room he's gone through, trying to find an exit where I can get out without being discovered by White Steorras.

They are still searching the lower levels of the abandoned house, so I assume that I did the right thing by moving up to the upper level of the abandoned house. As I continue to move invincibly, I can hear the White Steorra squadron leader ordering the others to follow me up to the upper level of the abandoned house as well. I take this as a cue to proceed quicker and press another button on the gadget in my wrist, which causes the recording in my eyes to be fast-forwarded. I then see a door that Mr. Hawk unlocked, which leads to a balcony that overlooks a dense oak forest.

The forest is a nice spot to get away from it all. They will have a difficult time tracking me down once I have fled into the forest and well-hidden myself. Because it is nighttime and the only thing that covers the forest is darkness. They won't be able to see very far, and while they are still trying to locate me, I will flee deep into the forest until they are no longer able to find me.

It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack for them. They have no idea where we are, and neither do I, but I'm not going to get lost in this forest, believe it or not. That implies I will not get lost because I have a tracker that will direct me to the location of Mr. Hawk. I will always be able to locate Mr. Hawk, no matter where he may be. And because Mr. Hawk is aware that we are on a mission, I am confident that he will identify a location where we can meet without being perceived as suspicious.

Knowing where I was going to leave, I promptly made my way up to the third floor, where the balcony would be waiting for me there.
