Chapter 176: Information Part 1

I'm not sure how long I've been lying here, slowly drifting in and out when something soft presses against my lips. My eyes flutter open, a new warmth stirring inside. Reid's face is inches from my own. "Asleep already?"

"I see you let yourself in."

"It's not too late..." he sits on the bed. "Is it?"

"Depends. How long were you with her and what'd you learn?"

"Thankfully I was only with Perry for about twenty minutes. She told me about a tunnel through the Hylas Mountains. She went there with one of the tribesmen and didn't think Walker knew about it."

"What do you mean ‘went there'?"

"Probably to screw," he shrugs. "Said it runs right through the mountains... so if the Vermix land on the opposite side, on the Nerwos' territory, they could still sneak in."

"It's some good info."

"Could've told me tomorrow," he leans in.

"Reid..." I whisper against his lips, holding him by his shoulders, "I... maybe we should take things slower."
