The Far Dawn (2014)
““Lilly?” Evan’s voice was weak, made uneven by the tremors racking his body.
“Go to him,” said Paul, motioning casually. “He’ll be so happy to see you.”
Lilly’s fingers grazed my arm and I met her eyes. She nodded and then rushed across the room, kneeling beside Evan. I couldn’t believe he was here. It meant part of what Paul had told us back in the desert was a lie. He had caught the CITs, but he hadn’t cut Evan open. At least there was that.
“Lil,” Evan croaked. “Is it really you?”
“It’s me, ...Ev.” Lilly sniffed, rubbing his shoulders. “It’s me. It’s gonna be okay.”
“Owen, it’s nice to see you again in the flesh.” Paul grinned at me, his eyes whirring, and I hated him so much, but I didn’t reply. I wanted to give him nothing. He didn’t seem to care. “You look different,” he said. “Older. I guess you’ve had to grow up fast these last weeks.”
Ignore him, I thought over and over, and yet I could feel myself shaking. I couldn’t take the bait.MoreLess
