“Let me come with you. I can be of help.” “Help?!” I thundered. She had finally succeeded in cutting the thin string of patience I had been holding onto for my brothers’ sakes. “You want to help?! You’re the reason we’re in this mess in the first place!” Those doe eyes of hers began to w
Confusion and anger swept past me. “I should have killed them all when I had the chance. We underestimated their level of greed.” I said aloud, turning away from the television. “Perhaps we should try to get across to them. Maybe they want a ransom, or something, anything at all.” Darwin spoke
