"Yes, sir," the team responded in unison.

Charlie looked at his signal-less phone and handed Seth a beacon, saying," Use this to contact US if there's any news."

Splitting up was necessary to cover more ground, but given Aquila's cunning, coordinating their efforts upon finding any clues was crucial.

Taking the beacon, Seth confirmed, "Got it, we're off."

With that, Seth led his group to the left while Charlie took his team to the right.

Shortly after, the support team at the mountain base arrived.

Max's scouts had just returned, and Zane's reinforcements had also reached the location. Both groups exchanged knowing looks before Max suggested, "Let's hear the updates together." "Sure." The scout quickly briefed them, "We've confirmed they went up the mountain, and we found markers left by the Commander..." "Alright," Max nodded and turned to Zane's team, "Let's split into two groups, and we can complement each other's numbers." "Good, we aren't familiar with the signals your team uses," a member of Zane's team agreed.

After quickly strategizing, they divided into two groups and proceeded into the mountain.

About an hour later, a red flare lit up in the mountain woods.

"That's the Commander's signal!" someone shouted.

"They must have located Everett and Aquila; let's move quickly to back them up," Max ordered without hesitation.

Both groups hurried toward the signal's source at a rapid pace.

Upon converging, they found only Charlie and a few of his team members.

"What happened?" Max approached, offering support to Charlie.

"We just located Everett, but... he managed to escape again," Charlie explained, grimacing and clutching his abdomen, clearly injured.

"Let's go after him," Seth immediately proposed, ready to lead a pursuit.

One of Zane's team intervened, "Well handle it. You all should go back and recuperate, especially those who are injured." "Yes, you all head back," Max concurred, directing his gaze to his team," Coordinate with them, and I'll take Charlie and the injured back for treatment." "Understood." With a unanimous response, the two groups swiftly took off in the direction Everett had fled.

After Max and his team returned to the city, they promptly took Charlie and the other injured members to the hospital for medical attention, while the rest were arranged to rest back at their accommodations. Nicole, Jared, Preston, and Zane, having been informed, were already waiting outside the emergency room.

"What happened?" Nicole asked Max.

"Aquila injured Charlie. I haven't gotten all the details yet, but Charlie was seriously hurt, so I rushed him here for treatment," Max replied.

"What about the others?" Zane inquired, noticing the sparse returnees.

"The ones Charlie took with him are getting treated for their injuries; the rest have gone back to rest, and some have continued the pursuit," Max informed.

Zane nodded. "Then we'll wait for more news."

With so many on their tail, it seemed unlikely that Everett could escape again.

A little while later, Charlie was wheeled out by the nurses.

"Mr. Johnston, Mrs. Johnston!" Charlie was surprised at seeing Nicole and Jared there.

"Let's get you to a room first," Nicole gestured, indicating they should move on.

After settling Charlie into his room, Nicole updated him, "Patricia is okay. I haven't informed her about your situation yet, so she's unaware." "Thank you," Charlie expressed his gratitude. At this moment, bringing Patricia would only add to her worries, especially since she was also recovering from her injuries.
