Everything is going so fast that Elio can't catch up with all of it.

Starting with figuring out what happened in those short 4 minutes, what happened with the plan, and lastly what is the exact plan by the lions?

Is it really to steal all of the auction's items? Or is it to get rid of the tigers? Using them as their slaves behind their perfect work? That's just cheap.

At the same time, Elio deals with his own self and it's not only between his heart and his brain.

Half of them want to help Lucas and his wife to the safe place while the other one is demanding to save the tigers first because their positions are far away from the getaway point.

When Elio tries to reach the tigers, he now just realizes that something is disrupting their connection on their mics.

It could be jammed from the security systems which Elio quickly sets Funkids to fix it and makes the connection back stable again.

As powerful as it is, the jamming radar disappears in a couple of seconds and this can be counted as Elio's first step to fix this mess.

"Howl, can you hear me?" Elio calls her out first since she is the one most probably in a dangerous place as she keeps moving forward to the lions' place.

"Tanzanite? I thought I'm already out of range because you haven't answered me." Howl replies right after and it seems like all of the connection is already fixed because Elio receives another response.

"Tanzanite? What is going on?" Spec speaks up with his panicked voice.

"Sorry for the late notice that the connection got interrupted by the jamming radar. Update of situations." Elio replies quickly, leaving all the details of what is actually happening.

Seeing Elio still focusing on the screens even though his heavy deep breath can be heard clearly, Heliodor releases his hands from Elio's shoulders and walks back to his bench, watching him quietly with a smirk.

"There are lots of police out here and they have already started to build a lot of barricades on each way out." Spec reports the outside condition where it might be out of Elio's range since he can only control the system inside the auction's place.

"Stay in your position, Spec. I believe no one will notice you up there." Elio replies and receives an agreement sign from spec.

"Howl get out from there now." Elio says with his demanding voice while using Funkids to track her down through all of the CCTVs inside.

"Why? Did the lions tell you they are safe already?" Howl replies confusedly.

Found her.

Elio says and shows her position on his screen as he is searching for her safe way out from the auction's place.

Looking at the map, she is actually already in front of the auction's storage which is where the lions are heading to according to their plan.

But the questions right now are, do all of the lions inside of there? Or is it just to trap her inside?

From what Heliodor said to him it seems like he already had laid his hands on the tigers as well which most likely is a trap.

To make the middle decision where he might not be going to regret it later is to bring Howl to the safe place first.

"Just get out of there. It's not safe anymore." Elio demands her once again, this one sounds more intimidating full of force.

"Okay then if you-" Howl replies but it suddenly gets cut off by a woman's voice.
