GIDEON'S DECISION

It had been over an hour since Elijah had talked to his friends. He looked so relaxed and happy, as if there was no danger out there. Bernice looked at the bracelet on her hand and it was already eight o'clock at night.

"We have to get to the field or Master Faith will punish us all for being late," the girl said.

"Let them drag us out of here," Josh replied. "I'm tired...I want to sleep."

Bernice looked at Josh as she sighed quietly. "Josh, people from New Castle are coming tomorrow. We still live in a nice building, they don't have anywhere else to go."

"Very well, Miss Nation Rescuer."

Josh got out of bed and stretched lazily. Isaac and Lucas were already getting ready to leave.

"Get some rest, Eli. You've had a rough day," Lucas said.

"Okay. Enjoy your work," Elijah replied, chuckling quietly.
