The Tears of Nero (The Halo Group book 1)
“Dark tendrils of smoke curled up into the air, smudging the sky. Somewhere in the distance a bird cawed an alarm. “Is anybody hurt?” Edward asked, coughing to clear the smoke from his lungs. Everybody shook their heads and dusted themselves off, shaken but in one piece. “This guy ain’t playing around,” Sadie said. “I can't believe I used to date this creep!” “What do we do now?” Franklin asked. “We’re sitting ducks.”
“We’ve got to keep playing Nero’s game,” Henry said. “We don‘t have any leverage at this point.”
“And how are we supposed to gain any leverage in this situation?” Franklin asked, frustrated.
“We try and understand what makes Nero tick,” Henry explained. “We need to figure out what he wants from us. We can also hope Seneca shows up again.”
“The next delta on the map isn’t very far,” Edward said, studying the yellowed sheet of parchment. “Maybe we should check that out.”
