I was still crying silently when we got to the little mountain that hid our vast cave systemIt
was actually just a hill?an insignificant outcropping of volcanic rock, like so many others,
sparsely decorated with spindly creosote and flat-bladed prickly pearsThe thousands of tiny
vents were invisible, lost in the jumble of loose purple rocksSomewhere, smoke would be
rising, black on black
I got out of the van and leaned against the door, wiping my eyesJared came to stand beside
meHe hesitated, then put a hand on my shoulderI didn't know they were planning thisThey shouldn't have??
But he only thought louis vuitton, imitation that because they'd somehow gotten caught
The moving truck rumbled to a stop behind usTwo doors slammed shut, and then feet were
running toward us
?What happened?? Kyle demanded, there first
Ian was right behind himHe took one look at my expression, at the tears still running down my
cheeks, at Jared's hand on my shoulder, and then rushed forward and threw his arms around me
He pulled me into his chestI didn't know why this made me cry harderI clung to him while my
tears leaked onto his shirt
?Seeker's not the problem, Ian,? Jared said, voice strained, his hand still touching me, though he
had to lean chanel jewellery forward to preserve that point of contact
?Huh??
?They were watching the road for a reasonSounds like Doc's been? working in our absence
I shuddered, and for a moment, it seemed like I could taste silver blood in the back of my
throat
?Why, those ?!? Ian's fury robbed him of speechHe couldn't finish his sentence
?Nice,? Kyle said in a disgusted toneWe're gone for a few weeks, and they've got the
Seekers on patrolThey could have just asked us to ??
?Shut up, Kyle,? Jared said harshly?That's neither here nor there at the momentWe've got to
get this all unloaded fastWho knows how many are watching for us? omega olympic watch Let's grab a load and then
get some more hands
I shook Ian off so that I could helpThe tears did not stop runningIan stayed close to my side,
taking the heavy flat of canned soup I picked up and replacing it with a big but light box of
pasta
We started down the steep pathway in, Jared leadingThe utter blackness did not bother meI
still didn't know this path well, but it wasn't difficultStraight down, then straight up
We were halfway there when a familiar voice called out from a distanceIt echoed down the
tunnel, fracturing
?They're back? ack? back!? Jamie was shouting
I tried to dry my tears on my black chanel quilted bag celeb shoulder, but I couldn't get them all
A blue light approached, bouncing as the carrier ranThen Jamie bounded into view
I was trying to compose myself to greet him, assuming he would be joyful and not wanting to
upset himBut Jamie was already upsetHis face was white and tense, his eyes rimmed in red
His dirty cheeks had rivulets through the dust there, tracks made by tears
?Jamie?? Jared and I said together, dropping our boxes to the floor
Jamie ran straight for me and threw his arms around my waist
?Oh, Wanda! Oh, Jared!? he sobbed?Wes is dead! He'sdead! The Seeker killed him!?
