Halsey had no idea who he was calling In a daze she quickly slipped on his jacket covering her exposed skin
She supported herself against the side of the cab trying to stand up She wanted to thank Dwight but before she could a familiar clear voice rang out from the distance

Wendy quickly chased after her Halsey where are you going
Halsey didn t look back
Wendy s right leg accidentally hit a stone and she gasped in pain clutching her leg
Halsey hesitated for a moment before running back to her She kneeled and checked Wendy s injury Are you okay
