“So,” Faith spoke up, her voice cautious but filled with curiosity, “what is the next thing that’s going to happen?”

“Well Cale is trying to get to the bottom of it all,” Dominic replied in a low voice. “But until we hear from them, we don’t know what will happen. So we’re being hopeful and just… waiting. There’s nothing else to do.”
