And little Clarissa still hadn't noticed anything. She was still bargaining with Tercy Mason, "Aunt Tercy, please, can we? Pretty please?"
"Clarissa, don't rush. I also want to go look for them, but right now I don't know where they are. My phone was taken by Uncle Obby, so we can only go up the mountain and wait. That's our agreed meeting signal," Tercy lied once again. Her phone was, in fact, sitting snugly in her pocket.
When Xavier Gale had hugged her a moment ago, he had already felt the smartphone in her pants pocket. He realized that his mother was lying, which meant something must have happened.
