Chapter 943

~3 min read 405 words

Next day, early morning.

Thin mist moved slowly through the gaps in the woods, and the rising sun shone golden on the big trees; everything seemed to be shrouded in soft morning light.

In a restaurant in the suburbs of Atlanta, Caitlin, who had driven all night, finally reunited with her husband, Reed, with the children.

After learning the detailed situation, Reed's expression was a bit solemn.

"The Sentinel Services is a federal government agency; the only reason you were able to escape is that they hadn't had time to organize a full team to catch you."

"We... we have to leave... hurry up!"

Reed looked at his wife and children and made a difficult decision.

Caitlin wiped her tears and cheered up: "Okay, we can contact Jenny..."

Reed interrupted: "I'm not saying go to Phoenix, to hide in your sister's apartment for a few days; we have to go to a place where laws related to mutants are more lenient."

"For example... Mexico or..."

"Mexico?" Caitlin's eyes widened instantly: "All our belongings are at home!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Protect you!"

Reed wanted to use the news about Polaris to exchange for the help of the mutant underground organization.

"Actually... I know who can help us..."

Lauren, who had been very quiet, suddenly spoke with hesitation; she looked at her surprised parents and said in a low voice: "Mom, do you remember those two mutants? They are from the mutant underground organization."

Caitlin certainly remembered those two mutants; if it weren't for them, Lauren and Andy might have already been caught by the Sentinel Services; it was they who 'reminded' her that her husband's status couldn't stop the Sentinel Services.
