*Jo's POV*
I walked over to the poor excuse for a bed and laid down, putting my face into the pillow. I hadn't seen any cameras around the room, but I figured it was better safe than sorry. I didn't want to make them suspicious now, right as I was beginning to plan an escape.
Once I was sure my face was covered, I reached out with my mind.
"Nikko?" I called out.
"Jo!" he cried out almost instantly.
I sighed in relief and nearly cried at hearing his voice. I had been trying to stay strong, but that didn't mean I didn't miss him like crazy. His voice had sounded so pained, and I regretted not reaching out to him first thing this morning.
"Yes, it's me," I replied as soon as I could get my thoughts together. "It's me."
"Where are you? Are you hurt? I felt pain a few minutes ago, are they hurting you? I will kill them!" Nikko raged on and I could feel Ash reach out to Cressa.
