Hearing Nathan Lockwood's name from the mouths of the First Military Academy students, the four from the Federal Military Academy froze.
'This wasn't the direction Nathan Lockwood and the others went,' Zoe thought. 'How could they have possibly run into him?'
Zoe Pierce couldn't figure it out. Based on the direction, it seemed more like the path she and Miles Sherman had intended to take.
The thought startled her. 'Did the First Military Academy students mistake me and Miles Sherman for Nathan Lockwood and me? Why?'
Ethan Grant's state of mind, however, was perhaps the most complicated of all.
On one hand, his heart sank at the sight of so many First Military Academy students. It would be incredibly difficult now to either escape with the supplies or simply flee.
Seven or eight people had blocked off every possible escape route for the two of them.
But after hearing them mention Nathan Lockwood, he felt that if he could just hold on, there might still be a chance.
