Scarlett hastily grabbed her cell phone and noticed a secure app notification, the same one she typically used to communicate with her uncle.

"Scarlett?" Noah's voice held surprise and concern as he noticed the strain in her tone. It was clear that she had been crying. "What's wrong? Why do you sound so sad?" he asked worriedly.
"Uncle, I..." Scarlett paused, trying to gather herself and hold back the tears. After a moment, she continued, "I'm okay, Uncle. But something terrible has happened to my family on Island B."
"Island B? You mean your father?" Noah asked, his voice filled with shock.
"Yes. Jude Withers discovered my mother's whereabouts on Island B, and..." Scarlett's voice trembling with emotion. She took a moment to catch her breath as her chest felt heavy and constricted.
