Chapter 33: Collision

Delaney

Our mission is meant to be upstairs, and so we leave through one of the many unconventional exits, and make it to Pollux’s Ford.

He still hasn’t told us what the mission is about, and it’s honestly so frustrating. If he understood just how anxious this whole thing makes me, maybe he’d be more eager for share the details at a much quicker pace.

I get in the backseat, and he starts the car once Paola closes the door. He then turns his body around, and says, “Here’s the thing: there was a survivor from the hunt. A guy. Matteo wants us to fetch him, but he didn’t make it known because he doesn’t want to alert anyone.”

“Why not?” Paola asks. “I thought we were all meant to be trustworthy. Does that mean that he trusts us?”

“Yes,” Pollux says. “He does. He trusts us way too much for first-timers.” His eyes then land on me when he says, “I guess it’s all your fault, Delaney.”

I frown. “What? That he trusts us?”

“Of course,” he replies. There’s something off about how he says this.
