Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Just as Zachary left, two figures sneaked out from the opposite corner of the logistics department and looked around.

"Hey, why hasn't Hodge shown up yet?" Sharon whispered to Fabian. "We were only a step faster than he was. He should be here by now," she added. She kept looking left and right in the logistics department, hoping to see Zachary's familiar face.

"How am I supposed to know? He might've encountered a hiccup along the way. Or, maybe he came earlier than us." Fabian shrugged.
