Chapter 24: Assaulter

I had been quiet throughout this whole time. In fact, I think the only time I spoke was to Daniel when I first arrived. I think I’m partially in shock because despite that kid Jayce getting shot and Alice almost dying, I couldn’t move at all. I couldn’t help. Call me a bad person, but I was more keen to sit back and observe so I could make it out of this place alive.

My only concern at the moment was to get Hailey and I safely out of here so that she could see her mother again and I could see my wife again. That is my key mission here and you better believe that I am going to do everything in my power to make that happen. I stepped into the capsule without a word and looked up to find that Hailey was still tending to Jayce, not even realizing that I had left. I felt a pang in my heart then but she was twenty years old. She can fall in love with whomever she likes. A forty-five year old man like me shouldn’t stop her.
