Bianca halted, fixated on Chris. He appeared uneasy, isolated in a corner, engrossed in his phone, and occasionally
relocating to make calls elsewhere.
She quietly trailed him, faintly catching his hushed and anxious words.
"Have you found her?"
"Tell them not to worry... If the kidnappers are after money, they'll definitely call!"
Her heart raced. 'Kidnappers? Who are they searching for? Is that Lena on the other end?'
Suddenly, Toph called out, "Chris, what are you doing?"
Bianca concealed herself as Toph dashed over in his usual carefree manner to usher Chris away.

As they proceeded, Chris and Toph coincidentally passed by Bianca. Their eyes locked, causing both of them to
freeze.
Bianca swiftly evaded his gaze and forced a greeting, "Chris..."
"Eh, Bianca?" Toph inquired, much like Arya, "What are you doing here? My brother didn't invite you, did he?"
"You..."
Bianca's frustration grew, but Toph appeared unfazed by her expression and continued to pull Chris away to enjoy
the festivities.
Nonetheless, Chris began to grow suspicious. Why had Bianca suddenly appeared? She had never attended such
events before, yet she conveniently showed up today when Nala was missing.
Zuko and Lina emerged, holding little Persephone in their arms. Lina placed her in a walker, and she took her first
tentative steps, eliciting cheers from everyone in the room.
Bianca stood transfixed for a moment before slipping away quietly. She headed to the abandoned factory on the
outskirts.
By now, Drake had followed her instructions and driven the van there.
Bianca saw Drake happily drinking at the factory's entrance when she arrived.
Enraged, she swung her bag at him. "Dickinson! How dare you deceive me?!"
Alexander heard the commotion outside.
Nala had regained consciousness. She surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings with fear and anxiety. Just as she was
about to cry, Alexander covered her mouth.

"Shh!" He gestured, pressing her little head against his chest and gently patting her back.
Still in shock, Nala gazed up at Alexander, remembering she had seen him before.
"Don't cry or make a sound!" Alexander whispered to her. "I'll figure out a way to get you out of here."
Nala timidly asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Alexander scratched his head, realizing he had no solid plan. The factory had drafts from all directions, and Drake
was guarding the only door. Forcing their way out wouldn't work.
However, they were on the outskirts, and he couldn't recall the way back since a van had brought them there.
"It's... It's okay!" He assured her, even though he wasn't sure himself. "No matter what happens, I won't leave you
behind. I promise I'll get you back to your mom!"
Nala looked at him and nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Big brother..." she said meekly. "I'm hungry... Do you have any food?"
