Never Late, Never Away Chapter 691
“No,” Sarah chuckled after seeing Caroline so panicked. “Not a scratch at all. It just took me some time and effort to find the way back.”
“Then why did Shannon hear you crying for help?” Caroline asked quizzically. “She thought you were in danger, so she and Vivian went to find you. Didn’t you bump into them?”
“What cries?” Sarah frowned before continuing, “I didn’t call out for help at all.”
At this point, the two of them had walked to where everyone else waited. Everyone sighed at the sight of Sarah being back safely. They fluttered around her and asked questions.
“Sarah, what took you so long? Where’s Shannon and Ms. Morrison?”
“Shannon said you were in danger, are you hurt?”
“Why are you back alone? Ms. Morrison went to find you, didn’t you see them on your way back?”
…
Listening to everyone’s babbling questions, Sarah’s head pounded overwhelmingly. “I wasn’t in danger. I just got lost, and I didn’t even see Shannon or Vivian on my way back. Did they go searching for me?”
“Yeah. Unless… they couldn’t find you and got themselves lost instead?” Nervous whispers came from everyone. While they were worried for Shannon and Vivian’s safety, they also couldn’t help but feel upset at the state of things.
Really? Didn’t we come on this trip to have fun? All they had been doing since they got here was worry. They worried helplessly as people started disappearing one after the other without explanation. What the hell was going on?
Hearing Sarah’s and everyone’s conversation, Finnick felt even more on edge than before. Although this island had undergone urban development, there were still very few visitors. Not to mention, the terrain here was harsh and uneven. What if Vivian gets into trouble?
“Everyone wait here and be safe. I’m going out to find Ms. Morrison. Does anyone know which direction they went in?”
