Chapter Thirteen

Mia

Back in my room, I took a quick shower, then pulled on a bright red dress that swung around my legs.

As I made my way toward Medical to meet Eldron, I considered how well the day had gone.

Not just the game, though I had to admit I enjoyed that part even more than I had expected to.

No. The game hadn’t actually been my goal. I had spent all day wandering around Station 21, ostensibly to gather up supplies for the impromptu paint gun game.

Really, what I had been doing was figuring out how to get away. And also determining whether there were any sneaky methods of getting weapons. Not to use on anyone here—at least, I didn’t plan to. But if I could get some kind of weapon off the station and down to Earth with me, I might be able to use them to protect myself and Josiah, if I ever needed to.

I had gotten the information I needed, too.

It had been easy to pretend to be turned around, lost in the station. And I had watched everyone as they had gone about their day, using their wristcoms in place of typical Earth ID badges.

So that was it. All I had to do was steal an official wristcom and use it to make my way off the station.

A bitter laugh echoed in my head. Like that’s going to be easy.

But at least it was a plan.
