"Do we know where they are?" Barnes asks, doubtful
"Can you chill?"
"How can I when the power broker could be right under our noses?" Buck snaps
I don't want this to have to turn into an argument

He stops walking to step in front of me

Anger gets the better of me
"Maybe if you hadn't been so selfish, Steve would still be here!" I yell
Dead silence
There's nothing except the soft whistling of the wind
James stares at me with wide eyes as tears flood. He runs full speed inside the log house

For the first time, I cry
I barely sleep for the night
