"Mike, it's me," Rhea said hushedly.
Fred became wide-eyed when he heard the name. He stared at her, surprised she would call him out of everyone.
"Huh?" Mike seemed puzzled.
Rhea was so anxious she started sweating. She did not know if Mike was still under her control since she could not see him in person. Nonetheless, she continued, “It’s me, Rhea.”
"Oh, are you there? Did you find my son?" Mike hastily asked.
"Not yet. We'll discuss that later." Embarrassed, she glanced at Fred and noticed he looked even grimmer now. She felt a chill run down her spine, saying, "How's the situation?"
"They haven't taken any action. Oh, yes, Dr. Blanc came last night and said they found traces of an invisibility potion on your hair," Mike truthfully answered as if reporting to his superior.
Rhea nodded initially, but her jar dropped when she heard the last part. “What?!”
"That's it." Mike sounded like he had just accomplished a mission.
