"Undercover?" Gregory seemed surprised and furrowed his brows, asking, "Do you know his badge number?"
I paused for a moment, shook my head slightly, and replied, "I only know that his name is Chandler Copper. I don't know anything else."
Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll figure out a way to get him out as soon as possible. You be careful too."
I hummed lightly and noticed Rebecca nearby. Concerned that staying here for too long might arouse suspicion, I looked at Gregory and advised, "Lucas is quite vigilant, so don't linger around here for too long. You should go back quickly and protect yourself."
He nodded and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Ms. Scott, your...".
Seeing him struggle to speak, I inquired, "What's the matter? Is there something else?"
He looked at me and said, "Your mother and the others are all doing well."
I was momentarily surprised. I nodded slightly and smiled, "I’m glad they're fine. Thank you for letting me know."
After saying that, I was about to leave with Rebecca when he called me back. "Ms. Scott, don't you want to ask about how the others are doing?"
I furrowed my brows slightly, wondering who he meant by ‘the others’.
He still appeared hesitant to speak as I looked at him. I could tell he was referring to Idris.
Was he okay?
What was the point of asking now? Idris and I have already gone our separate ways, pursuing our own paths. There was no longer a need to dwell on it.
I sighed softly and smiled at him. "Not really. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving."
"Ms. Scott, he's come to the border." Just as I turned to leave, Gregory's urgent voice reached my ears.
