The street was still quiet when they finished helping Alyssa down from the truck.
Daniel glanced once more at the mess before grimacing. "Yeah… let's not explain that one to the city police."
Aren had already pulled out his phone. A few quick taps later, the screen flashed confirmation.
"A cab's on the way," he said.
Alyssa crossed her arms immediately. "I'm not going home."
"You are," Aren replied calmly.
Her eyes narrowed. "My daughter is in that stadium right now."
"And right now," Aren said, slipping the phone back into his pocket, "someone just kidnapped you to keep you quiet."
That was enough to make her hesitate to some extent. Eventually, she gave in as the driver arrived quickly.
He looked around at the strange battle scene, but decided it was best to keep quiet.
Aren turned back to Alyssa.
"Go somewhere safe," he said. "We'll contact you later."
