When they returned to base, Bethany and Will were taken to the holding cells generally reserved for newly infected soldiers. But because of the explosions, there was only one small, unoccupied room available for both of the traitors.

Bethany couldn’t even look at Will. She was so angry that they blew their once chance of escape. Prior to Will’s assassination attempt, Bethany had been working on a way to leave the base without anyone coming after her. She knew how important it was to cover her tracks as she left so no one would think to bring her back in. That was the mistake she’d made when she crashed the truck into Will and Thomas and their friends. This time, she wanted to disappear without a trace.

Instead, they took off with a bang. She could hardly fault herself, though. She didn’t ask to be part of the murder of Dr. Vincent. As much as she hated the bastard and was indifferent about his survival, she wished it could have happened while she was on the patio. That way, there would be enough of a commotion to take the heat off her escape.

Alas, she couldn’t continue to think about how things could have been different. She would drive herself mad in the tiny room if she constantly thought about living out different scenarios.

“We were so close,” Will moaned, slamming his fists against the floor. “If those bastards didn’t have million-dollar vehicles chasing after us, we would have been free.”

Bethany glared at him.

“What?” he asked innocently.

“I don’t know if you realize this, but up until a few hours ago, you were one of those bastards. You were pretty horrible to me.”

“I was?”

She nodded, her lips pursed. “I tried to escape once. I was so close to getting out, but you stopped me at the last second. Who knows what I could have accomplished if you hadn’t stopped me? It’s possible that I could have done something to save you and all the others who have been meddled with. You even threatened to hurt me if I tried to get out again.”

Will screwed up his face, thinking hard about what she was telling him. It didn’t sound like something he would do, but the memories just weren’t there to prove otherwise. He wasn’t sure what was real and what wasn’t real anymore.

“Really?”

“You truly don’t remember, or are you trying to protect yourself?”

Will pressed the palms of his hands into his forehead. “I really don’t remember. I’m sorry.”

The tiny window cover on the door slid open, revealing a distraught Mark. His face was pink and sweaty, a huge departure from his calm, happy demeanor.

“You two have no idea what kind of trouble you’re in,” he said, pressing his face up to the window. “I mean, you murdered the head of the militia in cold blood. Do you have any idea how serious this is? My own sister, a murderer.”

“Spare me the theatrics, Mark,” Bethany said coolly. “If it makes any difference, I didn’t kill anyone. I was merely a captive witness.
