"He is not alone,"
Captain Evan said as he and his team stepped out from the shadows behind Jonathan.
At that moment Jonathan's heart skipped a beat.
He turned around sharply, and for a second, his mouth parted but no words came out. Captain Evan… he was alive. Not just him but the whole squad. Dressed in their combat gear, standing strong, eyes cold but focused. Jonathan couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had prepared himself to die alone today.
He took a step back, stunned.
"You're… you're alive?" he asked quietly, like he still needed to confirm it with his own ears.
Captain Evan gave a short nod.
"They tried to trap us. Same as you. But they failed."
Jonathan's chest rose and fell with a shaky breath.
"I thought after what Jonah did after what happened in the blueprint sector I thought you were gone."
