Being in the same city didn’t increase my odds when the city was this large. Plus, I hadn’t had much practice. Arie was doing the same for Cyril. We would need their help. I felt a connection with Athen’s mind. Images of the scene he witnessed began rushing through mine. They were in a similar situation, but the images looked like they were outside somewhere, probably a park. The humans surrounding Cyril and Athen seemed to be in the same state as ours. Pushing as much info to Athen as I could, I only hoped that they would arrive in time. In time for what, I wasn’t really sure. “What’s happening, Arie?” I whispered to her. “Not a clue, but our only shot is to stay alert and look for an opportunity. I’ll follow your lead, and you follow mine. We’ll make it out of here, somehow.” Athen flashed through me immediately. I wasn’t going to get taken away again. I would find a way to get out of this nightmare, even if he couldn’t get here in time.
