Chapter 17: Talk About It

“I’ve practically visited every place I possibly could. I grew up here with my mom who works at a bookstore nearby. She got killed in a car accident a while ago. I never saw her again, I guess she wasn’t important enough to bring back.

“I’m sorry you lost your mom. I can’t imagine how hard that was for you. You don’t have to be alone anymore. We may not look like much but we have to stick up for each other.” Matt said.

“That’s right. We’ll be stronger together, we can use all of our abilities to find the creator and get some answers.” I said.

“Do you know what the next level is after New Orleans?” Grayson asked Ray.

“Yep, it’s Chicago, Illinois. A pretty dark place, lots of players go there when they go looking for weapons. I barely got past to the next level after that.” She answered.
