Never Late, Never Away Chapter 686

"Vivian, we've been searching for hours, but Sarah is still nowhere to be seen. You don't think she’sin trouble, do you?” said Caroline, who was a little scared at that moment.

“I don't think so. You shouldn't assume the worse,” replied Vivian. Truth was, Vivian was just asnervous about the situation, but she knew that she couldn't freak out. “Let's head back. Maybe theothers have already found Sarah and they're back at the camp now. That's probably why she can’thear us calling out for her.”

“You're right. Sarah must've returned to the campsite. She is definitely safe,” said Caroline. She felt alot calmer after hearing what Vivian said.

Vivian and Caroline turned around and went back to their camp. That was when they realized thatalmost everyone else had returned as well.

"How did it go? Did anyone replace Sarah?" asked Vivian hurriedly.

"No."

“Sarah is nowhere to be seen, and Mr. Norton and Charlotte aren't back yet either.”

Vivian got even more anxious to hear everyone's response. How am I going to face her family ifsomething happened to Sarah?

“Calm down, Chief Editor. Some teams haven't returned yet. Maybe they've found Sarah,” said a guyto comfort her after he saw how she was getting jumpy. He then added, “I'll go look for her again.This isn't an abandoned island, so it's unlikely that she’s in trouble. I bet Sarah just lost her way.”"What about Mr. Norton and Charlotte? The place to get the water isn't far and they would've foundthe place so long as they travel down the main road. Why aren't they back yet?” complainedanother colleague. He couldn't help feeling angry because he was getting too worried. What iswrong with these people? They're not kids, anymore. Why must they make us worry?

For some unknown reason, hearing those words prompted Vivian to picture Finnick flirting withCharlotte. They were happy and smiling brightly at each other in Vivian's mind.

She couldn't stop jealousy from swelling up inside her mind, so she shook her head to preventherself from thinking too much about it.

“Let's just wait for everyone else to return. I don’t want to risk anyone else getting lost in our questto search for Sarah,” instructed Vivian. She was worried that the others would get into trouble aswell, so she had them wait there.

More time passed, but no one returned. Vivian couldn't bear with the anxiety anymore and wantedto head out to look for the others again. Just then, Shannon rushed over while looking frightened.“What's wrong? Did you replace them?” asked one colleague hurriedly.

“No, but I think I heard Sarah calling out for help over there,” informed Shannon. She lookedabsolutely horrified.

Vivian's heart instantly jumped when she heard what Shannon said. Sarah's in trouble? Vivianquickly ran over to Shannon and asked, “Where did you hear that call for help? Are you sure it wasSarah?”

“I can't be certain. I somewhat make out a call for help, and that person sounded like Sarah, but Iwas alone and was too scared to forge ahead. That's why I came back to get help.”

"Why were you alone?” asked Vivian. The two of them weren't on good terms, after all, so Vivianhad her guard up around Shannon

“I was supposed to be with Ken and Melinda, but we later got into an argument and went our ownways,” replied Shannon hurriedly, “Honestly, Vivian, now is not the time to look into this matter.Hurry over with me. I'm really worried about Sarah now.”

Given how nervous Shannon looked, it was unlikely that she was lying. Vivian's judgment was alsoclouded because she was worried about Sarah, who hadn't returned yet.

"Okay, hang on a second. I have to go get something from my camp,” replied Vivian before sherushed to her camp.

Before leaving the country, Vivian thought about how most employees the magazine hired werewomen. She was worried about everyone's safety, so she brought pepper spray along. I didn't thinkthat I'd actually need to use it.

“Let's go look for Sarah now, Shannon,” urged Vivian after she retrieved the so-called weapon shebrought with her. We have to hurry. The longer we wait, the more danger Sarah might be in.
