Chapter 30: Equilibrium

Eli flew to the rooftop where Valiant was unconscious. Eli tried to shake the man awake but whatever Kathryn did to him kept him down for a good few minutes. The trucks had left the factory and Eli didn’t really know if he should leave Valiant and continue the mission or wait for him to wake up. He decided to call Chromium.

“What’s up, kid?”

“We got attacked by CopyKat and Valiant is out of commission.”

Chromium’s deep laugh echoed. “She got him again?”

“Should I bring him to the tower?”

“Is he bleeding?”

Eli looked over him just in case and there was no blood. There might be a few bruises. “No bleeding.”

“She didn’t stab him this time, so that’s good.”

“Does she stab him a lot?”

“Sort of,” Chromium answered. “You’d think John would learn to dodge better.”
