I let Rose do her thing, let her heal up. She's obviously going through a lot of pain and doesn't want to be bothered. I wish you could heal bionic limbs...

Kelvin pulls me aside. "So, Natie," he says giddily. "How much of a reward do you think we'll get?"

My heart pulses. I turn to him. "What do you mean, reward?"

"For turning the girl in."

"WHAT!! DUDE ARE YOU DRUNK?!?"

"For once, I'm not."

"We're not turning her in."

"Just think, pal, we could be rich!"

"Yeah, rich in a country that is falling apart. Look, if this all goes to plan, we can be saviours, and earn our share with honour. We turn her in, we will be rich, and disgraced."

"I'm not coming, though," Kelvin says. "But I'm getting my share."

"What do you mean."

"I'm not following your crazy plan, bit after this is over, you're giving me half of your profits."

"Greed- stickin loser. I have no idea why you're even my FRIEND!" I shout.

"If you don't, I will tell the authorities about the girl, and both of you will be screwed."

"NOW YOU'RE A BLACKMAILING, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING- LIER WHO ONLY CARES FOR HIMSELF!"

"Maybe I am."

"FINE." I yell. "You tell Annia nothing."

"Of course. Now please, GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!"
