~Susan~ Devin did not return to the bedroom until one in the morning. I wondered what he stayed up discussing with Leo. He also did not seem too happy when he entered the room, so I was concerned too. I did not know if it was safe for me to ask him, so I remained silent. He sat down on the bed an
"I will go against everyone for your sake, but I need you to be honest with me," he said, and I believed that was too much to ask of him. Going against everyone meant him losing his status and good name, and maybe his life. I could not have that. I shook my head. "No need to go against anyone Devi
~Devin~Everything Andrew told us troubled my soul. I couldn't get past the fact that the Sullivans were involved, and I could not overlook the fact that Susan came to me the night the place was attacked. What were the odds that she would be so lucky? I was torn between believing her and investiga

~Devin~ We moved through the woods very fast. The trackers helped find shorter routes, and I hoped we would be in Mountain on time. The fact that Susan was unconscious was a big issue for me. I could not get over the fact they had hit her with silver, and she had been on the floor for a while. I p
"She was lucky you got here on time. The silver had poisoned her system greatly. She is stable now. But it will take two days to get her in a condition where she can be transported back to Mountain," he said, and I exhaled. It was better news than hearing of her death or their inability to fix the p
