Chapter 11

Before I’d even made it half-way up the stairs, my feet lifted off of the ground, and Logan pulled me back down the stairs. His arms were wrapped tightly around my waist.

“You’re a fast one, aren’t you?” Logan asked. “Sneaky too.”

“Why won’t you let me go?” I said between my teeth.

He shook his head. “The last thing we need is for something to happen to you while you’re out looking for them.”

I opened my mouth to speak, but he pressed his fingers down over my lips. My eyes widened.

“Don’t look so offended,” Logan said.

My brow wrinkled as I squeezed my eyebrows together. Charlie bit into a chip, and my eyes shifted over to her.

“They’ll be back. Jacob let Ryder out every day, and he always came back. He can take care of himself,” Logan said, and Charlie nodded.

I wiggled my head, and his hand dropped away from my face. He loosened his grip on my torso slightly.

“Luck runs out,” I said with a sharp exhale. “When I first met him, he was getting attacked by one of The Evolved. That could be happening right now, and you two are just sitting in here chowing down on your bags of stupid chips.”

Logan moved his mouth an inch from the side of my face. I could feel his breath against my cheek. “They will be back.”

When the first step creaked, Logan let go of me. I drew in a sharp breath and turned toward the stairs. Every muscle in my body tensed until I recognized the boot.

They were back.

“Thank God,” I said in a breath.

“Told you,” Logan said brushing past me.

Ryder and Shawn both wore blank expressions. Neither of them said anything.

“Find anything of interest?” I asked, my voice cutting through the silence like a knife.

“Nope,” Ryder said, turning to dig in one of the boxes.

Shawn sat down on the steps and kicked off his boots. “But it’s getting pretty hot out there. Not that you can tell down here though. I’m going to need shoes.”

“That’s not going to be easy to find,” I said wishing I’d been more prepared. I should have packed more clothes before I’d left my home.

“No… no, it’s not,” Shawn said. “It actually started raining when we were out there.”

“Rain?” I asked.

Ryder nodded. “Not snow… rain.”

“It was just a sprinkle,” Shawn added. He looked up at me and must have noticed the concern on my face even though I’d been trying to hide it. “Just a passing shower. Nothing to worry about.”

He’d intended to relieve my worries, but it didn’t. There could be more storms behind a passing shower, but on the bright side, if there was one, at least it wasn’t snow.

“Hopefully the sun will dry everything out,” Ryder said looking out the window.

“Based on how warm it is today, I bet it will,” Shawn said fanning himself with his hand. “Think it’s even starting to warm up a bit down here after all.”

My eyes darted at the boxes. “We should plan what we’re going to take with us.
