    Kenji grins. “Okay then. Let’s go get our girl back.”

    “My girl,” I correct him. “She’s my girl.”

    Kenji snorts as we head in the direction of the compounds. “Right. Minus the part where she’s not actually your girl. Not anymore.”

    I love Kenji, and I want to punch Adam in the guts

    “It wasn’t Warner who came after her,” Kenji is saying, tears falling fast down his face. “It was Anderson. Those were Anderson’s men. They made the announcement just a couple hours ago,”

    “Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Aren’t you in love with this girl? Where’s the fire under your ass? I thought you would be dying to get to her right now—”

    James is standing in front of me, sobbing, and I don’t know if I’m dreaming.

    “James?” I hear Kenji say. I look back to see almost everyone has gotten out of the tank now. “Is that you, buddy?”

    “Addie, I’m s-sorry,” he hiccups. “I know you s-said—you s-said I wasn’t supposed to fight, but I couldn’t stay behind and I had to l-leave—”

    Will it hurt when he dies? Will he feel it? Will he be killed instantly, or will he be impaled—injured, somehow—and die slowly? Will he bleed to death all alone? My ten-year-old brother?

    I’m holding fast to the dashboard, trying to steady my heart, my breathing. It’s impossible. The tears are falling fast now, my shoulders shaking, my body breaking. The planes get louder as they come closer. I can hear it now. We all can.

    We’re not even there yet.

    We hear the bombs explode far off in the distance, and that’s when I feel it: the bones inside of me fracture, little earthquakes breaking me apart.

    “Let’s go!” I bark at Kenji. “We have to get a tank and get back to base as soon as possible—”

    “But what about Juliette?” Kenji asks. “Maybe we can split up—I can head back to Point with Castle and Alia; you can stay here with Ian and Lily—”

    “No. I have to get James. I have to be there. I have to be the one to get him—”

    “But Juliette—”

    “You said yourself that Warner isn’t going to kill her—she’ll be okay there for a little while. But right now they’re going to blow up Omega Point, and James—and everyone else—is going to die. We have to go now—”

    “Maybe I can stay here and look for Juliette, and you guys can go—”

    “Juliette will be fine. She’s not in any immediate danger here—Warner isn’t going to hurt her—”

    “But—”

    “Kenji, please!”

    “They’re mobilizing for an air assault,” Ian cuts in. “We just heard they’re going to bomb Omega Point. We were still trying to figure out what we should do when we heard someone coming, and jumped in here”—he nods around the unit—“to hide.”

    “Uh-huh.”

    “Whatever.”

    Kenji’s panicked voice telling me he saw Juliette go down and get dragged away
  • Shade13has quoted4 months ago
    I glance at Juliette again. I know she’s probably scared, and I want to reassure her—to tell her everything is going to be okay—but she doesn’t look my way. She’s in another world, her eyes cold and sharp, focused on the fire in the distance. She looks different—a little scary, even. Somehow, that worries me even more
