The call disconnects.

Hayley folds her arms.

“They’re going anyway.”

“They’re driving past.”

Arthur leans against the wall.

Will takes the chair next to Taylor.

Arthur straightens.

“They went to Iron Ridge?”

“Not yet.”

“What did you tell them?”

“To observe only.”

Arthur looks at Will.

Will looks at Taylor.

Arthur answers.
