CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Di woke everyone at six the next morning. We barely had time to dress with the five-minute warning. From there, she herded us outside. Several times, she actually nudged and prodded people to get them moving.

It was still dark and cold out. We all huddled in a big group, shivering. Only Flint seemed immune to the temperature.

“Come on.” Jet rubbed his hands together. “At least let us go back in and eat something first. I’m starving.”

Di shook her head. “The more tired, hungry and irritable you are the better. We have to prepare for the worst.”

Amber muffled a big yawn. “What do we need to prepare for that requires us being tired and hungry?”

“I want to see how you all do under stress,” Di replied.

I brushed hair out of my eyes and stuffed several strands under my hat. “Why isn’t Father here?”

Di put her gloves on. “He’s still sleeping. I didn’t want to wake him. Besides, we can’t always count on him. We need to find a way to work together without him always looking over our shoulders.”

I crossed my arms, shivering again. “Won’t he come with us when we return to O’Brien?”

“To Chicago, yes, but not when we rescue the other three.”

Amber gasped. “He’s not coming into the warehouse with us?”

Di gave her a sharp look. “Father isn’t young anymore. He’s not as strong or fast as the rest of us, despite the effects of our drugs. Who knows what we’ll be up against, and if we need to ensure that one of us always stays safe, it’s Father. Without him, we have no inside contacts and no resources other than what we have in our bank accounts from before.”

I swallowed uneasily. I hadn’t thought that far ahead, but Di was right. The only money we had to our names was from what Father gave us in April, to live off of when he took our memories away. That money still sat untouched in our bank accounts. Other than that, we didn’t have any resources. Not to mention, we had no way of contacting his inside O’Brien contacts, no way of alerting his pilot for an emergency flight, and no way of knowing where Marcus was or what he was up to. Nothing.

What she said made sense. We needed Father to stay safe and alive. No matter what. And we also needed to learn more information from him. At the very least, a few of us should know how to contact his pilot.

“I guess you make a good point,” Jasper mumbled.

I nodded. “I’ll ask Father for some of that information when we finish out here.”

“So now what?” Jacinda asked. Her long hair hung down her back, the top of her head stuffed under a wool hat.

“Now, we see what each of us can do, now that we have our entire memories.” Di turned to Mica. “When we were younger, you were working on changing your eyes, not just enhancing your vision. Do you really think you’d be able
