the map to Marsh, and once she turned and headed in that direction, I picked up the overlooked handgun and put it carefully in my pack.

With a day of hiking ahead of us, I would be safe from the haunting images of the dead girl. But I already dreaded the night to come, and the awful stillness that always accompanies dreams.

Chapter Thirteen

Jade

The first thing I did after coating my hair in the goopy brown dye was check Walter’s supply of alcohol. Since it was relatively low, I could count on him working at the Factory for at least another two hours; he would need the wages to replenish his stash. So I poured myself a drink and proceeded to wander around the house while the color seeped into my hair follicles.

It had been almost a week since I had last seen Gideon. Because they had driven him back to Liminis, he would have arrived several days before I did, and I had no idea how long they might keep him alive. Nor did I have any idea when Cece might arrive with the other survivors, but I knew it would probably be too late to help him.

So I started weighing my other options, making myself at home on the large sofa in Walter’s living room. It had been Gideon who had gotten us out of prison last time—Salvador helped him not me, and it was unlikely that I’d be able to find him now, anyway. I could sneak to the jail, hope Gideon was being held in the same cells as last time, and say my good-byes . . . but I wasn’t ready to accept that this was the end, yet. Because there was still Victor. I don’t know what the hell he had been doing at the Doctors’ headquarters, but it seemed like maybe he had changed his mind about blindly following the rules of the Ten Colony Council. Or he was still a glutty jackman, but I didn’t really have another choice. I would have to risk it and talk to him. Find out what I could and then reassess the situation from there.

I hated not having a better plan than that. Hated having to depend on Victor. Hated that I felt powerless.

But on the other hand, I was beginning to understand why Walter enjoyed this stuff so much. Maybe I was his daughter, after all. I tilted the glass to my lips and let the burning amber liquid strip away my worries as it tore the lining of my esophagus.

Good stuff, I thought to myself, swinging my feet up on the cushions and starting to feel comfortably warm.

I mean, looking back, it was ludicrous that Gideon and I hadn’t just disappeared into the wilderness in the first place, right after the Docs bombed the roke out of the Erroris Factory. Why did we travel north at all? With Cameron? With Michael? It was stupid of us, but nevertheless, we persisted. And now Michael was dead. And Gideon was in a Colony prison.
