Last Leaf
Three hours later, the group finally arrived at the base camp. Maxen and Olivia thanked everyone, exchanging handshakes and hugs for a fantastic day trip up in the mountains.By the camp's office, a man in his sixties stood waiting for them. While the lovers went ahead towards the office, Yana stayed outside and did her homework, distributing solar-powered light bulbs for the locals.Meanwhile, inside the base camp, Maxen and Olivia, trailed by Jack, followed the man donned in a white lab coat. They soon found themselves inside a room filled with caged animals."Welcome to Nisia's Wildlife Conservation Society." The old man turned to face them, lifting his arms in a wingspan.Olivia's eyes scanned the room and saw cages after cages of injured animals. Her heart squeezed, her eyes watered. She didn't wait for Maxen to give her a tour as her foot had a mind of its own, taking her along the perimeter of the room.
