Hazel stopped mid-sentence when she noticed a woman walking toward the car.
"Oh, Bennett, unlock the door. And by the way, I'm letting you drive since you were begging to drive, right?"
Betty blinked.
"..."
'What the heck, when did I beg her?'
With a sigh, she pressed the button unlocking the door. Hazel hopped out, spreading her arms wide.
"Ahh, Maria! Nice to see you again!"
Maria's brown eyes lit up as she hugged Hazel. Hazel ruffled her hair vigorously.
"Ow! Sister, stop that! How many times have I said, Don't ruin my hairstyle, let's go already—the other teams have already left one by one."
Betty rolled down the window to greet Maria as the two women climbed into the back seat, chatting happily. Taking the driver's seat, Betty gripped the steering wheel tightly, her lips twitching.
'Why do I feel like a taxi driver right now?'
As they passed through the checkpoint, her gaze fell on the officer who had stopped her when she first entered the base.
