The dim light streaming in lazy beams through the high library windows was a welcome sight for Brynn’s still aching head. Ty had taken her home the night before and given her a bottle of pills from the nurse who, upon bothering Ty for details, didn’t look anything like her Angel.

“You were pretty out of it in there,” he had said to her as she described the white face and hair that apparently looked nothing like the woman who had come in to take care of Brynn.

Now, as she walked down the familiar steps to the basement of the library to meet the boy she knew would be there, she wondered how much of the hospital had actually looked like the facility from her dreams, and how much she’d manufactured in her mind.

She gingerly brought a hand up to the back of her head where a sizable bump was gradually growing smaller, and wished every lead she found didn’t always end up being a dead end.

“There you are,” Jonah said once Brynn entered his normal wing of the library.

His face lit up with a smile as she walked over to him, plopping down into the dusty armchair next to his.

“Have you been keeping out of trouble since I’ve been gone?” she asked, finding that she had actually missed him more than anticipated on her trip.

“Oh yes. Me and all of my friends have been very subdued since your departure,” he said sarcastically, looking around at the empty library with a cheeky grin.

“Well, I’m glad you had a break from ‘crazy Brynn’ because she’s back in full force,” Brynn informed him, getting right down to business.

“I was hoping you’d say that,” he replied, snapping shut the book he held in his hands and leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, ready for her instructions.

Brynn proceeded to tell Jonah about her discovery of the wall around the cities and the train tunnels being sealed off, hoping he wouldn’t react as Ty had to all of this information.

“The wall I already knew about,” he said, waving away this information as inconsequential. “But the train tunnels are news. Mostly because I don’t think anyone else would be crazy enough to actually investigate.” He gave her a serious, reprimanding look through his long eyelashes before continuing. “So, if you’re serious about finding this Aywon place, it seems like the only way to do it is…he let his words trail off, not willing to voice thoughts quite that crazy yet.

“Get off the train,” Brynn finished for him. “But I’ve already looked into it. The control room has this electronic lock that I don’t think anyone but Ty could hack, and he won’t do it.”

“Unless you don’t stop the train to get off,” Jonah said quietly, his eyes trained on a spot on the floor.

Brynn looked over at him, confusion lining her features.

“What are you going to do? Blow a hole in the wall and jump?” she asked with a laugh, hoping that wasn’t actually his plan.
