Chapter Fifteen

While getting everything together, I notice that Bruno isn’t around. I wonder where he’s gone to? I couldn’t sleep that well last night even in Kiernan’s arms. I couldn’t stop thinking about Nessa and how she betrayed me the way she did.

“Hey, chic, how are you holding up?” Kira asks.

“I would say I’m peachy, but that would be a lie.”

“It’ll be ok. I’ll make sure of it.”

I lean on her. “Thanks, babe, I know you will try”

“I just wish I was able to beat the hell out of her before you made her leave. She deserves no less.”

I nod at her. “As much as I would have loved for you to do that or me for that fact, she doesn’t take priority over all this. We need to focus on the here and now. I can’t let her or anyone else get in the way. I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of her. I’ll let you beat her the next time we see her, deal?”

“Deal.” She takes my hand and we walk to the lobby.

Mom, Kiernan, Cicero, and Desean are waiting for us. Where are the other guys? I wonder. I hear a horn honk and I look outside and see four huge blasters. I guess he decided that we’re not staying under the radar. Those things will definitely sick out. I guess I don’t blame him. We’re running on no sleep, and we need all the help we can get right now.

“I take it we’re going in with guns blazing,” I say.

Bruno just gives me a wink. There’s the guy I know. This serious and broody thing was scaring me a little.

“We have a plan. I’ll explain on the way, hop in.”

When did they have time to come up with a plan? I’m not going to argue. If we get there in one piece, I’ll be happy.

We all pile up in the blasters. This time, we have more room. One of the blasters that Desean is driving is carrying only the supplies, leaving the other three just for passengers. Mom will be riding in a different blaster than me. She’ll probably just lie in the backseat to sleep.

Almus is driving the one I will be in, giving Bruno some much-needed rest. Kiernan and I take a seat near the back, so we can lie down together. Kira has the backseat to herself. It feels good to be able to stretch out. I’m almost asleep when I hear Bruno start to speak. He tells us the plan.

“I have four other teams taking different routes. We’ll meet up in the next city. We should be there sometime tomorrow. I’ll have a full plan by then. The other three blasters will stay with us.”

I think I say ‘ok,’ but I can’t tell. I can’t keep my eyes open. Kiernan wraps me into his arms, and that’s all I remember.

I wake up to hear Kiernan talking to Kira.

“Why does Kelso act the way he does? It doesn’t make any sense,” she inquires.
