Now, as she took in the view, Debra realized this place was every bit the metropolis people whispered about

When she was younger, she didn’t understand, but now she saw that this city had everything

Not only was it home to the largest trade center, but the place was also a melting pot of people from all walks of life. People of different skin colors could be seen everywhere.

Trying to escape from this city and avoid Drake’s watchful eyes was almost impossible.

“Sir, we’ve arrived,” the driver announced.

snapped his fingers, and Debra didn’t know what that stood for until the lights in every building went

“Wait, come back”
