Oliver’s movements were too precise, embracing his fake identity, walking through the sidewalks like he belonged.Zerenette followed his lead, matching his pace, her gaze constantly shifting to observe the other people they needed to encounter as they continued with their journey.Before they could even notice it, both of them had passed through two main checkpoints already.The other residents also aren’t suspicious of them, given how good their disguise was.“Nice,” Zerenette muttered, clenching her right hand, her expression triumphant. “No one’s suspecting us. Not even the police.”Oliver smiled. He hoped that it would continue that way to the last checkpoint, which, once they pas

“We’re not going to use the front gate,” Oliver said, his voice laced with finality. “We’re moving to the back.”“What?” Zerenette asked, blinking her eyes in confusion. “But why?
