“They went up the mountain p>
“Good,” Yelena said coldly, before swiftly striking him on the neck with the side of her hand.
The man’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious.
Yelena turned to Bernice. “Why are you just standing there? Come help p>
Bernice finally shook off her daze and made her way toward Yelena, unaware that admiration had quietly surfaced in her eyes.
Yelena quickly found some rope on the men and bound them securely. She located a walkie-talkie on one of the guys and handed it to Bernice. “Use this to listen in and figure out where they are p>
Bernice glanced at Yelena, her voice tinged with worry. “What about you p>
“I’m going to find Bella.” Yelena paused, her gaze steady. “You can come with me, but I can’t guarantee your safety from here on p>
Bernice bit her lip, her voice firm. “I’ll go with you p>
“Alright p>
“But…” Bernice looked back into the classroom with concern. “What about her p>
“Someone will be here soon,” Yelena said.
Bernice wasn’t sure how soon, but at that moment, Aus let out a bold “meow,” as if assuring her, “Don’t worry. I’ve got this covered p>

Brody, however, seemed oblivious to her presence, his attention fully on Yelena.
Yelena said decisively, “Take her to the hospital for a full check-up for sexual assault. Make sure they run all the tests. We’ll need evidence later. She can’t shower until all the tests are done, understand p>
“Understood p>
“Then, get moving p>
Brody shrugged off his jacket and draped it over the girl in the classroom. Gently, he helped her up, adding, “I’m gonna carry you out, okay p>
The girl nodded her head, lips pressed together. Though humiliated, at least she was alive and safe now.
Yelena turned to Bernice and said, “Now, you have a choice—come with me up the mountain, or go with him. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision, being as smart as you are p>
To Yelena’s surprise, Bernice shook her head. “I’m not leaving. I want to come with you up the mountain p>
Though Bernice was typically timid, something about Yelena’s strength sparked a desire in her for adventure. She wanted to experience something thrilling alongside Yelena. Yelena didn’t object. “Okay p>
Yelena turned and strode forward. Without hesitation, Bernice followed. Then, remembering something, she asked, “Hey, why did that guy just leave when you sent him away? Didn’t he worry you might be in danger p>
Yelena smirked. “Because he has confidence in me.” Bernice didn’t fully grasp Yelena’s meaning.
