Section 175: Rescuing the Lone Wolf

Joel POV

"Aria is missing," Vell tells us flatly.

After all the distractions we did to make way for the infiltration team, there's no sign of Aria and the mastermind. Vanya took down most of the drones that scattered on the government building entrance. We make our way inside quite easily.

There's no sign of the dangerous humanoids that attacked us yesterday; the tin killers that killed my mother. I have yet to give my mother a proper burial, and Aria disappears. It feels like it's a setup, the mastermind knows our arrival and lets us in pretty quickly. We gather around in the plaza, Tristan who is injured could only exasperated in agony.
