CHAPTER 19

C ELIA

A tlas and I trained Sean the following five days after the mission as hard as we did when he got here. He’s getting better. Less bruises now, and not because I went soft on him at first, which I did. He saw through it, tried silently to tell me to cut it out. When I didn’t listen, still trained him at a weak throttle, he punched me hard and I kicked it up twenty notches, back to normal.

He continues to earn my respect each day.

I hope he’ll be accepted into the Ciphers so much that it’s giving me anxiety thinking he might not be. After all this work, it’d be...

Well, it’d just be weird not to have him around anymore.

I want Sofia back home so she can vouch for him in person. They’ll listen to her. Soph’s been out with the elders on missions when I’ve only been on one with them. They know wherever she goes bodies fall and people listen. Her opinion is more respected than mine.

I’ve been keeping busy to deal with my nerves, and cleaning my motorcycle on a warm afternoon, I hear footsteps.

“There you are,” Atlas calls out to me as he and Sean stroll up, the sun dancing on their skin and outlining Atlas’s long dark hair, lightening Sean’s ash-brown waves. I blink at the two sets of piercing blue eyes directed right at me, sink my rag into the sudsy bucket and wring it out just for something to do.

“You showered,” I lamely say, because of course they did. I’ve just lost the ability to think coherently. “What’s up?”

Sean bends to pick up a rock and throws it so far we don’t hear it land. “Atlas wants to see the new superhero film in town.”

Atlas jogs his chin. “You down?”

“Uh, sure, but I need to shower. I’m still in my training clothes. Figured I’d clean my bike before I cleaned up me.”

Atlas shrugs, “Well let me help.” He snatches my bucket from the ground and turns it upside down over my head. I scream, instantly drenched, hair matting, clothes suddenly painted on. Lunging for the hose I grab it as Sean leaps to turn it on for me. Atlas tries to run. But I’d already unraveled the thing when I came out here so I’ve got plenty of slack to chase him with.

Drenching the jerk as he dashes around, we’re both laughing as I shout, “How does it feel, Atlas? Huh? Feel good, you fucker?!”

I turn it on Sean and he throws up his hands, “Hey! I just helped you!”

“So?”

He sprints a jagged path, laughing his ass off. Atlas grabs him, holds his shouting body while I soak the two of them together. Then they change the game again.

As one unit they stalk me, lunge, wrangle the hose from my resistant fingers. I can’t fight them off, not as a team. Sean lifts me off the ground and I kick the air, screaming my head off as they drench me to the point where nothing is dry.
