"Mr. B?"
Silas' voice sounded worried when he answered the phone.
"We found her mother, Mr. Korba," I said, my voice strained even to my ears.
I looked at the woman who was being held by my Academy counselor, Kell Garewal, and then my boot camp instructor, Taylor Curtis. The man who came in first, the one who'd run right to Sang's mother was well known. James McInnish was a philanthropist, concert violinist, and computer genius. He was also team lead of the quietly famous McInnish team.
"Who is she?" Silas' accented voice questioned.
"She's Academy."
"Are they going to take her from us?"
I watched the men comfort Sang's mother, while they eyed me warily. They were wrapped up in the news that she'd been found, but they were suspicious of me. Of us. That much was clear.
"I don't know, Mr. Korba," I answered, turning my back on the family and closing my eyes. "I don't know."
