The Main Hanger

I was already flying back the short distance from our cell through the ornate lobby when I realized someone was chasing me.

"Go with the others," I shouted at Andre.

"No way," he said. "You were right. We need to work together."

I didn't have the time to argue with him as the big, ugly Uni statue swayed with another aboveground hit. Besides, I was happy Andre was there.

"Wyatt!" Abigail kicked the stone paperweight aside as she threw herself forward, hands over her mouth. "I'm so sorry!"

I hugged her, feeling better now she was safe with me. "Leave it to you to fight back."

She pulled away from me, panic on her face. "Edison!" His name emerged from her in a gasp. "Uni took your father!"
