Max looked at his watch. The group was almost an hour late and it was because of one person.
He sighed, pacing around quietly.
They all could have gone on their own but if the Alliance administration found out, they could have his head for failing to meet up to the requirements.
And also he could lose some points from his rank.
Heavy footsteps resounded behind him until they came to a stop.
Without turning around, Max recognized the person.
"Matchet, please be a bit more patient. The kid said he is on his way." Max spoke.
After a while, the heavy footsteps came again but this time, they were receding.
Max's ears moved and he raised his gaze. There was someone running towards the group.
When he recognized the person, he rose to his feet.
"Everyone, get ready. We move now." Max informed the team, and then he went to converse with the security at the gate.
Reith skidded to a stop behind the group and he donned his hoodie, blending into the crowd.
