A sudden nudge brought Godfrey's attention back to his surroundings. He saw Arden pointing at a spot below them with slightly narrowed eyes.
"He's back."
Godfrey looked down, and his expression hardened at the sight of a man with a cowboy hat. He was a handsome man in his late forties, one of the Elite Class, known as Enjin, the leader of the Hat Squad.
Enjin had just walked into the dome, and his cold eyes met Godfrey's. Godfrey recalled him returning in the third month since his arrival in Paradise. Apparently, after seeing the bounty on his head and that of his mother, Enjin viewed Godfrey as a threat to Paradise's survival.
The Authority's desperation had cost the lives of two squad members, and Enjin feared they would lose more if nothing was done.
He wasn't as optimistic as the Elders, who knew the risk yet still chose to keep Godfrey under their secure wings.
