However, the situation had been too perilous. Had he and Trenton not shown restraint, Millie could’ve been fatally wounded.

In that moment, Marcus struggled to articulate what it felt like to see Millie there. No words could truly encapsulate his feelings.

“Harlan helpedget through,” Millie explained.

By now, the sound of gunfire had ceased outside. It seemed that Harlan had pulled back.

“What about Harlan?” Trenton inquired.

It was then that Millie realized that Harlan still hadn’t shown up.

“Damn! Did he get shot?” Millie blurted out in a voice filled with worry.

“No, he’s not shot,” Marcus assured her firmly. “I believe he retreated when he found out that you got inside without a hitch.”

Millie was relieved to hear that.

Millie suddenly remembered something else and retrieved a long, dark object from her pocket. “Harlan askedto give this to you,” she said.

Taking it from her, Marcus discovered it was a magazine filled with fifteen bullets; a truly timely gift under the circumstances.

Marcus and Trenton divided the bullets among themselves and then guided Millie toward the fire to sit down.

When Millie arrived at the fire, she and Shera locked eyes, and a mutual sense of displeasure filling the air.

Millie frowned, wondering why Shera was even around.

Reflecting on the malicious actions Shera had undertaken in the past, Millie felt her anger rise. However, she knew this wasn’t the appropriate moment to settle personal scores, so she decided to suppress her ire.

Shera took note of Millie’s confusion and felt a surge of joy, but her mood soured with Millie’s arrival. It had been a rare opportunity for her to spend talone with Marcus.

Just then, Marcus received a message from Harlan.

“I have another task to attend to, so I must leave. I hope bringing her here was not a mistake.”

Before his phone shut down, Marcus managed to send a reply. “Thank you.”

Millie turned to Marcus and asked, “Are you injured?”

Spotting the blood-soaked sleeve on his arm, she immediately becteary-eyed, overwhelmed with worry.

Unable to stand seeing her like this, Marcus quickly reassured her, “It’s all right. Let’s just rest together for a bit. We’ll need to make our way out of here cdawn, so save your strength for now.”

Millie hung her head and said softly, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come. I might be a burden to you.”

She felt a twinge of selfishness. Had Marcus been alone, he could have fought without worrying about anyone else getting hurt.
