Felix Finch nodded emphatically. "Captain Lucas and his people helped Xingxing and me a lot."
'What a coincidence.'
Nina Jacobs was also a little surprised.
"They've taken the Antidote, but they'll still need to rest for a few days."
"I'll leave arranging for them and the others to you,"
she said, gesturing toward the still-dazed Minerva Whitman and the others.
Surprisingly, Raphael Chase even recognized Marcellus. Apparently, Marcellus had been the one to advise them against going to Lornwood Base back then.
"Don't worry. I'll report to you as soon as they're settled."
Felix Finch guessed Nina Jacobs was tired too.
But Nina Jacobs didn't go back to rest. Instead, she went to The Aquifer.
The Aquifer was lined with a long row of water storage tanks, and every single one was full.
Mirelle Keller was sitting on a two-meter-high platform, releasing water into the tanks below. She waved to Nina Jacobs.
"I was starting to think you weren't coming back today."
