Adrian Rhodes never expected that after being away for just three days, the island would have changed so completely.
The flowers, plants, and trees on the island had all been trimmed. What was once a pristine, wild landscape now showed many signs of life.
There was an open space between a few of the boats. When he arrived, Landon Hawthorne and Brendan Lynch were sparring, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
They had also changed their clothes, finding replacements on the boats. The garments were wrinkled and looked very old.
It felt as if several years had passed here.
But when they saw him, Landon Hawthorne and the two Lynch brothers were overjoyed. Aria Sterling had told them that once Adrian Rhodes arrived, their escape would be imminent.
If they stayed here any longer, they would genuinely go crazy.
All three men crowded around him. Upon learning that only three days had passed in the outside world, they nearly fell apart.
