Legacy (Alliance book 3)
“He knew he could, too, easily enough. The trouble was simply that he didn’t belong here anymore, not with these kids who got off on hurting each other, bloodying each other’s faces the way they did. He wanted out, so doing badly on everything was deliberate, only of course he had no place else to go to now. They would put him into one of those orphanages if he flunked out, they would have to.
Stranton told him what they did, quietly, just laying it out as if he wasn’t talking to a kid. In a way..., he wasn’t. None of them here were really kids anymore. But he could have at least kept some of the things from him, could have tried to protect him. He remembered sitting in his office, staring at these images of unrecognizable burnt bodies of what he was told was left of his parents. They scanned them. They were sure. The bloody animals downed their flier and torched it with everyone on board, women and all. He asked to be taken to wherever that place with the bodies was. He wanted to say goodbye to something other than these frames of mangled bodies shoved at him on a screen.MoreLess
