Yet, at that moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy. Goodwin efficiently cleaned and dressed the wounds in under ten minutes. Goodwin turned to Harlee. "Mrs. Green, given the basic tools at my disposal, I've managed to only treat the surface injuries. We'll need to take care of the rest on the cruise ship." Harlee gave a nod and offered her hand to Dario. "Are you able to walk? Would you prefer to cwith us for a walk or rest aboard the cruise ship?"

Since his first encounter with Harlee, Dahadn't spoken of leaving, as he felt obligated to protect others still on the island. But now...
"Absolutely," Harlee responded, her smile gentle. "Do you see those I've brought along? They're here to establish a farmhouse restaurant on the island.

"Yes. Everyone who cto the island with Tonya, except for that family, was Kina. We simply lacked weapons, which is why we were always taken advantage of.” A shadow passed over Dario's face again. "To resist, we discovered a cave and made it our secret base, but many were hurt, scritically. A few are even near death."
