“Then what do you suggest?” Koda asks, his anger barely restrained. “We need to split up. One group goes that way, the other this way.” I point to my right. “We need to find a way across, and quickly.” “I said no splitting up.” Hayes barks out and I step in front of him, trying…

“We have never done anything to keep us from finding him, but it worked in our favor when you didn’t want a tracker…In a way, we thought it was you subconsciously not wanting to die,” Nisha says in a small voice. “Noted,” I clip out. “What happens after we accomplish our mission concerns none of…

“What do you mean?” “I mean, you never wanted to see her broken, and now that’s all she is. A broken misfit like the rest of us. Like you.” “I don’t dislike her.” I retort. “She just…..gets on my nerves and thinks she is high and mighty. Not to mention she has to fight every…

“Everyone has taken their clothes off to let it dry. You should do the same, but you can wrap up in this.” He says kindly. I nod, taking it from him, my white fingers struggling to bend as I clutch it. Then he frowns and Marcos reaches out and takes it back. “How about I…
