Chapter 97

Cynthia stared at me viciously. I felt like a bug under a microscope or a butterfly she couldn’t wait to pin to the board. I returned her venom with a calm cool look to show her she wasn’t getting to me.

Dismissing her I turned to Benjamin. “Are you sure about this?”

He nodded without hesitation. “Let’s do this.”

Erin echoed his sentiment with excitement telling us she was with us all the way.

What the hell? At this point we really didn’t have much left to lose.

“Are you crazy or just stupid?” Cynthia asked.

I answered with a sweet smile. “Both.” Then turned back to Erin. “We leave in an hour.”

Erin’s grin was wider than the Grand Canyon as she nodded enthusiastically. We all got up and began to hurry and pack the bare minimum supplies we needed. As I passed by Cynthia, she grabbed my arm and stopped me.

“You’ll never succeed. You realize that right? This is going to fail, and you’ll be stuck god knows where without a single shred of help,” she growled.
