Chapter Three

Page hadn’t exactly kicked my ass but she might as well have when she looked up at me with those puppy dog eyes that accused me of abandoning her.

And here I thought everyone had been sitting around worried about me!

It felt more like I was being blamed for all this being my fault- even though I knew their anger stemmed from worry and concern.

We were still set up in the activity room since there hadn’t been time to move to our new quarters yet. King had been hanging out with Page and although he didn’t exactly say he was happy to see me, he did smile at me when I walked in the room. So, there was that.

“We need to talk,” Vaughan declared after Page had finished lecturing me on never leaving Vaughan or Hendrix’s side again. Even the eight year old was smarter than me. “We’re in a little bit of hot water.”

We gathered around Vaughan in the corner of the sparse room and stayed quiet so Vaughan could keep his voice down and not be overheard by people walking by in the hallway. Hendrix hadn’t taken his hands off me since Kane reappeared and Nelson and Haley were the same way. Haley reached out and grabbed my hand too, while Page pressed her body so tight against my thigh I thought I would fall over.

So, they had been a little bit angry with me.

But now I felt loved- so loved my heart was bursting from their affection.

Not even four months ago Haley and I had nobody but ourselves. And now I was so surrounded by love I wasn’t sure what to do with it all except hold on and never, ever let go.

Hendrix pushed my hair to the side and pressed a gentle kiss to the nape of my neck. He took a deep breath and his arms tightened around me. We were both dirty, exhausted and he was covered in blood, but there was no place I’d rather been than in his arms.

“We’re going to have to face Matthias Allen tonight. And I have no idea what to expect of him. Gage and I only had a few minutes to talk during the mission, but he told me Matthias would like those of us that were imprisoned at the Colony back. He would also like Reagan back in his custody since she technically was imprisoned as well. Gage has already told him that’s impossible and plans to protect us no matter what, but Matthias is insistent.”

“He doesn’t have any actual authority,” Harrison reminded us with a passionate voice that broke a little, making him blush. “He can’t make you go back there.”

“You’re right,” Vaughan agreed. “But Gage has to play this right. The Colony is better equipped with weapons and their men are actually trained. If they wanted to attack this complex imagine all the people that will die.”

“Can’t Gage just throw around some legal terms to make Matthias feel better?” Haley asked. “Like amnesty and jurisdiction.
