Seventeen

“Are you certain about this?” Trinity asks as we cross the border into the Outlands.

“Yes.” I slur the word. I can hardly hold my head up. “The radiation is a lie. It doesn’t exist.”

She sighs. “Okay. I’m not sure why I should trust you, but I do. I’m betting my life on it.”

I blink my eyes and when I open them again, we are near the reactor. I must have blacked out. There are miles and miles of winding terrain between the border and Liberty Party headquarters. The wolf hovers over me and my hands have moved to Korwin’s neck.

“Stay away from him!” I yell at the wolf. She retreats a single step but lies in wait.

“Are you okay?” Trinity darts a glance over her shoulder at me. “No one is touching him, Lydia. No one but you.”

With a shaky breath, I ensure Korwin is still breathing and force my eyes open wider. “I’m not okay,” I sob. “I’m not okay.” I’m so tired. I can’t stay awake anymore, but I can’t allow the wolf to take control.

“Almost there,” Trinity says. “I see a garage door. It’s opening on its own.”

Through the window, the forest gives way to white walls and fluorescent lighting, rows of vehicles, and metal shelving. Six officers with weapons are our welcoming committee. Trinity holds her hands up. “I have Lydia and Korwin in the back. They’re hurt.” She yells the words without rolling down the window.

There’s the clamor of voices and then the jeep gate opens. Charlie curses. My mind can’t make out the words. I’m on my side next to Korwin. I try to raise my head and my cheek sticks to the upholstery. Blood. We are lying in a pool of our blood.

“Keep them together,” Charlie orders. I’m hoisted onto a gurney, Korwin tucked in next to me.

I reach out and fist the tail of Charlie’s lab coat. “Don’t let me sleep. She’s here. She’s dangerous.”

His eyes widen with understanding, but he shakes his head. We are rolled into the surgical suite. Charlie leaves my side and returns to press a mask over my nose and mouth.

“I’m sorry, Lydia, I have no choice.”
