TROUBLE

Quinn and Hakeem walked towards their room - which was on the opposite side of the dorms. They passed by some rooms which still had people outside where some soldiers were still putting in some last-minute training.

It was still not yet curfew in the dorms, so they decided to simply seem calm so they won't attract attention.

They got to their room, and Quinn noticed that it was locked.

'Patrick isn't back yet? I thought he would be back by now'

He took his key to open the door and entered into the room. The two boys went to their beds and immediately dropped down in them tiredly.

Quinn's mind was filled with thoughts of what Patrick had been up to in the forest. Why would he go alone? Why was he in such a hurry? It almost seemed like he was trying to get to something quickly.

As he was thinking all this, he heard Hakeem's breathing even out, showing he had gone to sleep. And this drove his thought towards the conversation he had overheard this afternoon.
