“You forgot to mention that you know him,” Rocky grumbled.

The rest of the group settled back to the ‘Go Fish’ game, but there was no way I could sit here and play after that.

“You never said his name,” I reminded her. “Plus, I never expected to see him here.”

That was an understatement. Never in a million years, was more like it.

Wolf and his pack went off to play basketball. It made my blood boil. Guards allowed him to stay in The Quad because he hadn’t done anything violent. Zapper, at the very least, should have been sent away.

Recreation time resumed as normal.

But I couldn’t sit still.

Xander’s parents knew he was here. They couldn’t get him out, which meant no one could. It was crushing news, but it affirmed for me now more than ever that it was up to us to get ourselves out of here.

I stood. “Sorry, guys. I don’t feel like playing. I’m going to check out the library books.”

Tex chuckled. “You’ve read half the books in there.”

I shrugged. Woody stood beside me. “I’ll come with you.”

I shook my head. “Sorry, I just… I need to be alone for a few minutes. I’ll be right back.”

Woody frowned and sat back down.

Maybe it was just me, but he seemed extra clingy lately. He’d been sitting closer to me than ever while everyone was being introduced to Xander.

I made my way to the library, where Oscar still stood at the door. “Everything all right?” he asked.

That was a loaded question. And because he caught me on a day when my emotions had hit every extreme imaginable, I decided to unload on him.

“As a matter of fact—”

“Oscar!” a guard hollered. “We need you outside. Some kids are getting rowdy.”

Unaware he’d just dodged my verbal bullets, Oscar nodded. Turning to me, he said, “Don’t get yourself in any trouble, you hear?”

I gave him a mocking thumbs-up and ducked through the doors.

It was the truth, though. I didn’t want to bring attention to myself any more than necessary until I was on my way out the door. To that end, I was going to scan every single book until I came across one that provided a genius plan for getting us out of here.

I searched the shelves top to bottom. I’d already looked through them a dozen times, and therefore all the titles I’d seen before. There was nothing new. Not even a returned book borrowed by one of the other prisoners.

And it didn’t help that I wasn’t sure what I was looking for.

Heavy footsteps entered the library. I didn’t feel like talking to Oscar now and figured nothing good could come from unleashing my fury and frustration on him. Plus, he could be a potential ally, so alienating him wasn’t helpful to the overall mission objective.

Wow, Sun Tzu was rubbing off on me even more than I thought.

Not wanting to be disturbed, I wedged myself deeper between the shelves. I listened as someone rustled through the pages of a book. “I know what you’re doing in here,” a voice said.
