“Buried in the lake?” Mackenzie’s soft conclusion sparked gasps of surprise
from everyone around, their faces reflecting shock.
“But, Your Holiness, we searched the lake a whole day and didn’t find
anything!” Falcon hurried over, voicing his skepticism.

“Exactly!” Anna confirmed. “We split up and searched multiple areas, covering
a radius of about 300 yards from the shore, but found absolutely nothing!”
Quintus frowned, joining in, “If that’s the case, maybe Mackenzie’s guess is off.
I mean, a truck plunging into the lake shouldn’t have been able to go that
far!”
The group nodded in agreement, but Mackenzie remained steadfast, even

giving Quintus an eye roll. “It’s one thing if folks out in the Dark Night Islands
skipped their physics classes, but didn’t you receive higher education in
Yeringham?”

“I… Uh…” Quintus stammered, momentarily at a loss.
Lexi, on the other hand, immediately caught on. “I get it, Ms. Quillen!” she
gasped. “You’re saying they drove up the hill, then accelerated toward the
lake, using the height and momentum to launch the trucks far out into the
deeper part of the lake, right?”
Smack!
Quintus clapped his hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? You’re a genius,
Mackenzie!”

The others exchanged looks of astonishment, realizing they’d missed this
possibility entirely.
But, Your Holiness, the hill nearest the lake doesn’t seem very tall,” Rhett
asked, voicing another doubt.

Mackenzie smiled. “The trick isn’t in how close the hill is to the lake but in how
high it is. Watch!” She picked up a long stick and sketched on the ground. “If
the trucks were at top speed and the hill had the right incline–say, around
45°-the trajectory would allow them to travel quite a distance.”
As they watched her sketch out the physics involved, the group collectively
took a sharp breath, clearly impressed.
“D*mn, knowledge is power!” Quintus muttered, awestruck.

Mackenzie continued, “Only the base of the hill has visible tire tracks because
the recent heavy snowfall caused snow to roll down, covering any other
traces. After the trucks plunged into the lake, a skilled fighter likely damaged
arts of the hill, obscuring any remaining signs. Since the tracks stopped so
far from the lake, no one suspected the trucks had vanished this way!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up as her explanation cleared the fog in their minds.
Mackenzie added, “Since the trucks didn’t enter directly from the lake’s edge,
there were no marks along the shore. No one would’ve thought to search for
them on the lakebed! Even Falcon and Anna, who checked the lake, would’ve

only explored the shallow edges. Now, in this cold season, it’d be impossible
for even highly skilled fighters to swim that far without boats or proper
equipment! And there’s another complication: the lake is connected to the
ea and has a current. The longer we wait, the farther the supplies might drift,
and there’s a chance they could end up lost in the sea.”
The group tensed up at this revelation.
Out of nowhere, Anthony the Crybaby popped up, wailing, “Oh no! Ms. Quillen,
you’ve got to get those supplies out, or we’ll never be able to explain things to
the media and the whole country!”
“The adults are talking; go cry somewhere else!” Quintus snapped,
impatiently shoving the whining Anthony aside.

Mackenzie ignored the chatter and issued her orders. “Quintus, take a team
and spread out. Those bandits wouldn’t just toss away something so
valuable; they’re bound to have plans to retrieve it. They might be holding off
ecause they’ve spotted our people nearby.”
Realization dawned on the group again.
“Your Holiness, you’re honestly the smartest woman I’ve ever met!” Rhett
couldn’t help but marvel. Mackenzie’s ability to deduce that the supplies were
in the lake went beyond typical thinking. Instead of focusing on searching the
lake itself, her logic extended to what the bandits might use nearby–it was a
perspective few could grasp.
Mackenzie, however, didn’t show any pride. “Let’s save the compliments until
we actually recover those supplies! Rhett, come with me to the lake.”

“Right away, Your Holiness!” Rhett led Anna and a few others to guard
Mackenzie as she approached the lake. Meanwhile, the rest of the team
followed Quintus, spreading out to search along the hillside.
Lexi was assigned to bring in salvage boats and equipment, just in case
Quintus‘ team couldn’t locate anything on–site. And just as Mackenzie had
anticipated, not long after they began examining the lakefront, they received
a call from Quintus.
“Mackenzie, you’re unbelievable!” Quintus‘ voice buzzed with excitement. “We
barely made it to the base of the hill and found boats and a full set of
salvage tools stashed in a lakeside estate! These folks were armed–and
definitely shady–but we managed to drive them off and seize their gear!”
“That’s fantastic!” Anna, who had stayed close to Mackenzie, could hardly

“Your Holiness, you and the commander make an unstoppable team!”
hett nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Their preparation proves your
calculations were spot on!”
Anthony and the others gave Mackenzie a thumbs–up, realizing this was why,
at barely thirty, she had earned her place as the Chairwoman of the Nuthana
Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone began to relax, assuming the lost supplies would soon be

recovered. But Mackenzie tempered their optimism. “Don’t celebrate just yet.
This lake is huge, and it’s got a current. Even with boats and equipment,
there’s no guarantee we’ll be able to retrieve everything.”
Another concern nagged at her–the deadline was approaching; she couldn’t
afford to lose her reputation.
By the time the boats and equipment were transported to the lake, night had
fallen. Despite the Wolf Warrior Unit’s endurance, strengthened to withstand
the cold, the sheer size and depth of the lake, combined with the pitch–black
water, made the task a grueling one.
“Ms. Quillen, you’re not like them. You’re not trained to withstand these
conditions. With this snow and wind outside, you should rest in the tent,” Lexi
pleaded, worried for Mackenzie.

“Yes, Your Holiness, your health is important; we can’t risk you getting sick.”
Rhett added, “Leave the salvage operation to me and Quintus. We’ll see it
through.”

“Thank you, all of you!” Mackenzie’s eyes softened, a hint of emotion in her
gaze as she smiled. “No matter the outcome, it’s my honor to have so many
of you who not only support me but are willing to put everything on the line.
The group responded with warm smiles of their own.
Lexi placed a heavy coat over Mackenzie’s shoulders, grinning. “Save the
speeches, Ms. Quillen! Motherhood’s made you sentimental and emotional,
hasn’t it?”
With that, she gently but firmly guided Mackenzie back to the tent to rest.
