Chapter 35: Uncertainty

(Damn it! I feel so isolated right now with no one to help here. I know my mentor is investigating the people for me, but he is thousands of miles away. Is there anyone here that I trust enough to help me or should I…)

Before the Professor could complete his train of thought, he heard a voice at the entrance to his makeshift home in the desert.

“Professor Thelete.” The voice belonged to his young assistant, Jasmine.

(Ugh. I know she means well, but right now I need some time to myself to sort things out.)

“Go away. I need some time for myself. Everything is a mess right now.” Professor Thelete said in a pessimistic tone.

“Professor, please let me in. Tell me what is going! No one will tell us what happened.” Jasmine pleaded with him.
