"Everyone, heed my command..." Jared's voice came out unnaturally calm.
It was so calm that it made the bottom drop out of the heart. There was not the slightest ripple in it. But beneath that calm sat a finality no one could push back against.
"Put down your weapons immediately. Abandon your packs and supplies. Everyone is to leave Freevale separately. Do not travel together. Do not gather on the road. Do not look back! Do not cling to the ancestral homeland. Run as far as you can, hide your tracks, lie low, and cultivate in silence... Never return to Freevale. Go! Move now!"
Rowe was the first to rush forward, his eyes already red, the rims raw as his voice caught in his throat. "Mr. Chance! What is that supposed to mean? You want us to abandon you and run by ourselves? We're not leaving! If there's a fight, we fight together. If there's death, we die together. We will not live while you stay behind!"
"Go!" Jared's gaze did not waver, and his tone left no room for argument. Every word landed heavy.
