“That’s where people are dying. The Party from White Mall also has multiple losses, but we already have a search team for that.” He paused and s...ghed. “I know it’s a difficult choice. I’m suggesting we abandon our searches in the Green and Blue Mall areas, at least for a while. I’m assuming that those two groups are relatively safe.
