{Recap}

“That depends on who’s willing to join,” Mitch strokes his chin as he wraps his free arm around me.

            “Tiger,” he looks at me, “You in?”

            “You know my answer,” I grin up at him. He chuckles quietly as he kisses my nose and turns back to the others.

            “I’m in...I want at Mevin,” Kasey’s eyes shine with revenge.

            “No killing,” Mitch shakes his head, “But a little blood is ok...we don’t want to end up murderers.”

            “So your saying within a inch of his life...he still has to breathing,” Kasey balls up her fists, “How far can you go until there?”

            “Calm down Kasey,” Hank interrupts, “I’m in...I don’t have anything to lose.”

            “I’m a goner if this doesn’t work anyways,” Julie shrugs as she folds her hands, “They are already getting sick of me.”

            “Eric,” everyone turns to him.

            “You didn’t even have to ask,” Eric laughs loudly, “I’ve been dreaming of this day.”

            “So here’s what I was thinking,” Mitch begins as everyone leans forward.

            “Does anyone have an idea of what the island looks like,” Mitch asks as we all form a loose circle.

            “Like this,” Eric makes a potato-like shape on the cement floor by dipping his fingers in a soup bowl and using his fingers to draw.

            “Ok,” Mitch scrunches his eyebrows in thought, “And where are we?”

            “About...here,” Eric circles an area in the center of the island.

            “Shoot,” Mitch curses as he studies the island, “Would you happen to know what the terrain around here is like. I’ve only been to a village that is maybe right here,” he draws an X near the edge of the side of the island.

            “If that’s the village,” Eric focuses on the makeshift map, “Then right here is the camp and-.”

            “Camp,” I repeat in confusion.

            “Where they put the planes passengers for testing,” Julie explains as she makes an X where the camp is.

            “Are they testing the viruses on them,” I gasp as my eyes widen in horror.

            “Verisal is twisted,” Eric scowls as his eyes flash with anger.

            “I think that’s where they are going to send me,” Julie looks up at us, “If we don’t get out in time.”

            “If,” Mitch chuckles, “We are getting out of here.”

            “Well you sound confident,” Hank snorts as he licks his lips.

            “If you have doubts,” Mitch makes eye contact with Hank, “Something will go wrong...because you hesitate.”

            “How do you know all this,” Kasey breathes in admiration.
