Ray’s hand pressed against my mouth. I couldn’t breathe in the tight space. It was too dark, he was too close, and he needed to get his hand off my face. I shook my head, trying to dislodge his grip. He glared at me in the dim light.I looked into the face of Brutus. This time, those blue eyes didn’t seem as charming. “You’re coming with me.”

“I’ll take my hand off, if you promise to keep your mouth shut,” he whispered, narrowing his eyes at me.

I nodded, desperate to taste even the stale air of the broken-down laundry room. He took his hand away, and I gasped, taking as big a breath as I possibly could. I steadied my breathing and my heart, then cocked my head to the side. I assumed by Ray’s mannerisms that the cops were already here, and we were basically boxed in.

Contrary to whatever Ray was certainly thinking, my aim wasn’t to be caught by the cops. Despite my snarky comments in my room, I knew not to trust the police.

I hadn’t stayed alive this long on my own by being clueless. But I had hoped that by avoiding them for long enough, and with the rest of the Kingsnakes distracted by the raid, I might be able to sneak out. There’d been a chance. An open door on the main floor, and an unboarded window called me toward the sanctity of the forest. But at the last possible moment, just before I swung my leg over the shredded wooden pane, I thought about Ray’s face. How crushed he would be if I fled again, without a word of goodbye.

The first time I left, I had only been concerned about my own survival. This time, it didn’t seem right to only think about myself. This time, I knew what I was leaving him to survive alone, and my heart stuttered at the idea of what his punishment would be if I’d fled.

Would they blame him? Would it make this impossible situation even worse? I hated emotions, how they made me weak. You’d think the Collapse would’ve made us all feelingless zombies. Unfortunately not.

So instead of swinging my other leg out into the cool air, I had stepped back, running toward the kitchen. If I was lucky, I could make it back into the basement before anyone knew I was missing. And my next escape plan would include Ray.

Instead, Ray had rounded the corner before I could, and I darted into the small laundry room. Even though my heart had kept me here for him, his irritation when he found me only ignited mine. So now here we stood, chest to chest.

The rise and fall of his lungs echoed mine, the rhythm of my heart in tune with his own. Emotions were assholes, and one of these days they were going to get me killed.

I heard men talking just outside the room, and my eyes locked onto Ray. He nodded silently to me, pressing a finger to his lips, and grabbed my hip tightly with his free hand.
