Chapter 1102
After they had enjoyed a scrumptious meal, Carl turned to Nicole and said, "I'll get some sleep first.I suggest we take turns.For the first half of the night, I need you to keep a lookout for us, and for the second half, I'll do that."
"Okay, sure," she replied.
It was easy for them to keep watch during the first half of the night.
Nicole was wide awake and had stayed up until midnight without even realizing it.She was not tired and seeing that Carl was sound asleep, she was in no hurry to wake him up.She got up and approached Pinto.
When she was near, she noticed that Pinto was not asleep either.He was standing there as if he was on guard duty with her.
She proceeded to check on the two horses, which were fine.Then, she made her way back to the tent and gave Carl a light push, "Get up.It's your turn to keep watch."
Carl sat up and looked around, startled "What's wrong?!"
"Nothing.It's just your turn to keep watch." Nicole said, and laid down to catch some rest.
"By the way, I've checked on the two horses, and there aren't having any issue.I'm going to get some shuteye now.If you see anything out of the blue, wake me up.Don't try to deal with it on your own."
"Okay.Get some sleep, then."
Carl stretched and stood up to readjust his position, after which he eyed the surroundings with a dagger in hand.
Meanwhile, Jared had brought his entourage back to the racecourse after their first, unsuccessful attempt at finding Nicole.He had decided that he could not wait any longer and turned to his aide, Max Graham, "Organize a search and rescue immediately."
"Understood."
Max took his phone out and called for a search party.
About thirty minutes later, two teams marched in and stood in front of Jared.
"I've sent you the details of the individuals we are searching for in the chat room.We are to split into two teams to search and rescue them in the plains.If you come across any situations, report it to the racecourse immediately," Max ordered in front of everyone.
"Understood,"they said.
"Let's go."
