It appeared that my father placed the blame on him. Although I couldn’t discern the exact words my father uttered, the pained countenance that appeared on Caleb’s face spoke volumes. Whatever my father had said was undeniably distressing.

After a lengthy exchange with my father, Caleb finally concluded the call, turning to me to relay the disconcerting message.
“Your father suggested that we take a more unyielding stance against the remaining members of the Barton family. Compassion may not serve our cause, as it could potentially exacerbate the situation.”
I concurred, “You’re right. I understand. Our top priority at the moment is to find Luis, as he’s aware of my true identity. With Janiya’s death, we lack the leverage to confront him. We’re uncertain of his next move.”

“Indeed, it’s a perplexing matter.” Caleb assumed a grave countenance as he promptly contacted Carlos, issuing a directive. “Carlos, mobilize additional resources for a thorough sweep of the pack’s surroundings.”
“Understood,” Carlos replied. “Zoe, who has just completed her task and is assisting in the investigation, can be a valuable asset in our pursuit. With her involvement, we should expedite the search for Luis.”
However, as was often the case, things failed to proceed as smoothly as anticipated.
Upon Zoe’s return, a turbulent quarrel erupted between her and Carlos, her visage brimming with fury.
With hands resting firmly on her hips, she said, “What rotten Luck!
I’m headed back to Roz Town. I can’t bear this wretched place any longer! It’s infuriating!”
“What’s the issue, Zoe?” I attempted to intervene, seeking an explanation.
However, Zoe paid me no heed, her abrupt exit leaving me dumbfounded.
I turned to Caleb, my gaze inquiring.
Caleb, wearing a helpless expression, shrugged and turned to Carlos, asking, “Carlos, what transpired?”
Carlos, his countenance marked by displeasure, responded, “I’m the one who should be mad. Following Luis’ mishap, word reached the remaining Barton family members, prompting some to flee and others to go into hiding. It was hard to find them actually. I managed to apprehend one of them and was on the verge of extracting valuable information when Zoe, in her fervor, inadvertently dislocated the individual’s jaw. Regrettably, I now possess no useful information.”
Debra’s POV:
“Don’t sweat it. If he can’t speak, he can write it down,” reassured Caleb, offering solace to Carlos.

Carlos, however, simmered with even greater frustration. “No, you don’t get it. He can’t write. After Zoe forcibly dislocated the captive’s jaw, he still clung to the idea of escape. While we tried to stop him, our combined strength inadvertently shattered both of his wrists.”
Caleb and I lapsed into a disheartened silence.
These two were our dependable comrades, and it confounded us how they’d come to this pass when paired up.
With a sigh, I broke the silence. “We’re left with no alternatives.
Our only recourse is to apprehend others and extract information, or await his recovery.”
Carlos’ despair deepened. “But this individual is a master at eluding capture. He was no easy fish to reel in. If word gets out, the rest will prove even more elusive.”
Caleb offered assurance. “No need to fret. It’s merely a question of time. By dispatching additional personnel, we’ll nab them sooner or later. However, both you and Zoe should take this as a lesson.
