The moment Samson stepped through the door and saw Sloane there, his tone carried a mix of urgency and frustration. “Sloane, why are you still here? The Blackhawk team’s exam is next week, why aren’t you getting ready for it?”
Sloane froze for a second, clearly not expecting Samson to show up so suddenly.
Before she had a chance to respond, Jordan had already furrowed his brows, his tone tinged with annoyance. “Mr. Samson, what’s that supposed to mean? Sloane is my student too, how is she wasting her time by being here?”

Samson let out a cold snort, crossing his arms as he fixed a sharp gaze on Jordan. “Jordan, don’t play dumb. You know exactly how important the Blackhawk exam is. If she back by your little side projects, can you afford to take responsibility for that?”
Jordan’s expression darkened; it was obvious Samson’s words had hit a nerve.
Just as he was about to argue back, Sloane quickly stepped in to de–escalate things.
“Professors, please don’t argue. I’ve been preparing for the Blackhawk exam this whole time, I won’t fall behind. I’ve only been offering some advice for Jordan’s project; it’s not taking up much time.”
But Samson wouldn’t let it go. His voice stayed firm, even harsh. “Sloane, don’t defend him. The Blackhawk exam is tied to your future–there’s no room for mistakes. You should be focusing all your energy on preparing. Everything else can wait.”
Jordan clearly wasn’t happy, but he also knew the exam was right around the corner–Sloane couldn’t afford distractions.

Hmph, let’s see what he has to say for himself then.
Sloane nodded, a quiet breath of relief escaping her chest. To keep the two from starting another fight, she quickly pulled Samson out the door.
Halfway down the corridor, she spotted Samantha from a distance, heading upstairs with a few classmates.
It suddenly hit her–Samantha hadn’t shown up in front of her for quite some time.

Her gaze drifted to Samantha’s right wrist, and she figured out why she’d been so quiet lately.
She’s got her own mess to deal with; no wonder she doesn’t have time to make her presence known around
Before heading off for the Blackhawk exam, Sloane made stops to treat both Applepie’s dad and Clark.
Right after walking out of the Kent residence and getting into the car, Sloane leaned back, ready to close her eyes for a moment of rest. That’s when the driver’s voice broke the quiet, tinged with unease. “Miss, we’re being followed.”
Sloane’s eyes snapped open.
