Chapter 668

As soon as the words left his mouth, the entire settlement exploded into motion.

People came running from every direction.

“Well, if it isn’t Captain Reid,” he said warmly. “Been a while.”

Hayley blinked. “Yeah. Been a while.”

“It’s been almost a year since I last saw you,” Scott said as he walked toward her with unhurried, graceful steps.

Hayley watched him approach.

“Has it already been a year?” she said. “Time flies.”

“Does it?” Scott stopped right in front of her. A slow smile curved across his lips.

“I don’t think it flew by at all,” he said softly. “Every single day this past year felt painfully slow, I thought about you every single day.”

Hayley paused. “Thanks.”

Of course, he thought about her. If their positions were reversed, she would probably be thinking about him, too.

Hell, she would probably be muttering his name ten thousand times a night before she could fall asleep.

While Hayley silently debated whether she should call for backup or just start fighting her way out, Scott spoke again.

“Did you come here looking for someone?” he asked. The smile on his face softened, replaced with a hint of seriousness.

Hayley’s eyes lit up.

The shock from everything she had just witnessed had almost made her forget about Derek.

“My people are here?” she asked immediately.

“You mean the group that arrived in that vehicle?” Scott said.

“Yes. Give them back. I’ll trade supplies.”

Scott held her gaze. Then, the smile on his handsome face slowly widened.

“I’d love to help you,” he said, “but they aren’t with me.”

Hayley’s expression instantly darkened.

She said coldly, “Whatever happened between us before, I can make it up to you. But you’re giving me my people back.”

Every single one of them.
