Cameron felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He thought the current predicament was far more complex than the previous one. Lena was entirely under the drug’s influence now.
“Cameron, what should we do next?” Peggy asked, her heart racing at Lena's seductive state.
“Lena must have been dosed with a potent aphrodisiac. The antidote requires specific acupuncture needles, which | don’t have with me. We need to return first,” Cameron explained seriously.
He regretted not carrying the lifesaving needles for such emergencies. He had to get back as soon as possible. “What about Lena?” Peggy asked anxiously.
The round trip could take at least an hour, and Lena seemed unable to last that long.
“Til take her with us.”
Cameron decided as he took in a deep breath. Time was of the essence to administer the antidote. Otherwise, Lena’s condition could lead to a fatal outcome, which Cameron wanted to avoid at all costs.

Peggy's suspicion rose.
“You're not planning to take advantage of the situation, right?”
“Ms. Lee, with the situation at hand, do you think I’m in the mood for such things?” Cameron responded, somewhat exasperated. “Who knows? All men are the same!” Peggy retorted but realized the urgency of the situation.

Cameron didn’t dwell on the matter further, knowing they had to act fast. He lifted Lena up to leave.
“Wait, you're not leaving me here alone, are you?”
Peggy's anxiety spiked at the thought of being left behind with the unconscious criminal.
“Don't worry, Blackheart is waiting outside, I'll have him come up,” Cameron reassured her before hurrying downstairs. He had informed Blackheart of his mission earlier, intending for him to assist and take the criminal for interrogation. “Hey, wait!”
Peggy tried to stop him, but Cameron was already gone.
“How dare he leave me here alone!”
She bit her lip in frustration.
She thought Cameron was not a gentleman.
Then, it struck her. She recalled the mention of Blackheart.
She wondered if Cameron was referring to Blackheart, the world’s wealthiest. She contemplated how Cameron managed to enlist his help. Blackheart’s status was comparable, if not superior, to Laura’s. Peggy knew from Laura that Blackheart had returned to Yrando. She was perplexed at how Cameron was able to get his assistance.

Peggy concluded that Lena must have arranged for Blackheart’s help. Given Lena’s military status, made sense that Blackheart would support her rescue operation. She figured that Cameron must have met Blackheart outside by chance, which explained his knowledge of the backup plan. Peggy nodded to herself. She felt proud of her deduction and a little smug about her quick thinking.
