However, the director's words had given her pause.

"I'll take a day to think about it," she declared, rising to her feet. "For now, I need to get to work."

“Sure."

He nodded in understanding, hoping she would approach the situation with calmness.

He knew punishing Hyman was essential.

Alick, meanwhile, had identified the mysterious caller who called Camila. He then instantly told Isaac, "It wasn't Jaylen. After fleeing, he headed to Clouland. His current whereabouts are unknown, and he's keeping a low profile." After a brief pause, Alick continued, "Willie can handle the search. With his extensive network, finding Jaylen shouldn't be a challenge."

Isaac, listening quietly, gave a small nod of agreement.

"I've already discovered the caller's identity. It's a man named Hyman Faulkner, working at the Hammaslahti Research Center."

Alick couldn't figure out why he had called Camila. "Maybe the call was work-related, since they're both at the same research institute."

Isaac wasn't convinced.

If it were just about work, Hyman wouldn't have hung up so quickly upon hearing his voice.

“Should I double-check?" Alick suggested.

“Dig deeper into this person's background," Isaac instructed.

“I'm already on it. I've got someone searching for more information about Hyman," Alick confirmed.

His contact was still out gathering information.

As he was about to leave, Alick's phone buzzed in his pocket.

He answered the call.

It was the man he'd sent out.

The man relayed his findings.

Hearing this, Alick's expression grew more serious. "Got it."
