Jackson is giving this group of survivors the speech about how they have to stop fighting and to work together. In the middle of it, the shark comes up behind him and eats him. Best death scene ever.”

“And a fitting one for anyone who makes that speech, which is why I’m not going to.”

“But you’re right,” Simon said. “Time to call a moratorium on the bickering.”

“Moratorium?” Tori said. “Oooh, big word. Showing off, Simon?”

We all turned to look at her.

“What?” she said.

“No bickering means no jabs, no insults, no snark, no baiting,” Derek said. “And it means we probably won’t hear another word from you for days.”

“As for this situation,” I said, “I take the blame, so I’ll fix the problem. Stay here and I’ll find us a place—”

Derek caught the back of my jacket. “You still have a pissed-off ghost looking for you and a huge reward on your head. Stay here with Tori. Simon and I will find a new spot.”

Before they took off, Derek turned back to me. “I mean it, stay right here.”

“Even if the owners of these”—Tori rapped the vehicles on either side—“come out?”

Derek ignored her. “She’s your responsibility, Chloe.”

When they were gone, Tori turned to me. “Why do you let him get away with that? He treats you like a little kid.”

I said nothing, just started walking away from the spot where Derek told me to stay.

She smiled. “That’s more like it.”

I led her to a strip of gravel between two buildings. Then I lowered myself to the ground.

“This is safer, but still close enough.”

She stared at me. “You’re kidding, right?”

I pulled my jacket sleeves over my hands to keep them warm.

“You actually listen to him?”

“Only when he has a point.”

She towered over me. “You’re going to let a guy order you around like that? Make the girls sit on their butts while the men go hunt up a cave to sleep in, maybe drag back some food for us to eat?”

“Yep.”

“Well, I’m not. I’m going to show those guys that a girl can do this just as well as they can.”

I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes. She stomped off. I opened my eyes, watching her get farther away.

Derek said to stay. And he said to look after her. Conflicting requests at the moment. I know he’d tell me to forget Tori and take care of myself. But I couldn’t do that.

“Hold up,” I said as I jogged behind her.

“If you’re going to whine at me about pissing off Frankenstein, save it.”

“I’m not here to give you crap. I’m helping you find a spot. As long as we don’t go far, Derek can track us.” As she stepped onto the sidewalk, I made sure my hood was still on, then hurried out and caught her sleeve. “We can take quiet roads, but I need to avoid people as much as I can.”

“I don’t. I’m not the one with stalker ghosts and a half-million bucks on my head.
