Liam is stunned. Theo said those words with such conviction and belief that even he doesn't have.
He's about to say something when his phone vibrates. He looks at the screen – ARTHUR MONTROSE flashes brightly. He groans and answers.
"What do you want, Montrose? Your sister is safe. She's happily eating molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate milkshake. I'll return her in one piece. Relax."
Silence on the other end.
Then –
"You're with Thea?!" Theo can clearly hear Arthur's voice through the phone.
Liam groans again. "You didn't know. And I just told you, literally putting both shoes in my mouth."
"What do you mean she's with you?! Why is she with you?! Let me talk to her!" Arthur's barking orders like a madman.
Liam isn't afraid of Arthur, but he respects him. Arthur and his team are still one of the best exploring teams in Concordia, and Arthur is one hell of a Sentinel, even if he never calls himself one.
He passes the phone to Theo, who looks amused.
