iii. day one

present!

"how did it go being with that group?" agent young asked.

luna shrugged, "i mean it was fine" she answered.

"did anything happen while you went looking with them?" he questioned.

day one!

luna followed along with the boys as they walked along the shore, she was behind rafe and the curly haired boy and in front of tracksuit boy, josh, and taylor.

the three climbed up some rocks, luna waited at the top standing beside the curly haired boy as they waited for the others. "hey so your names luna right?" she looked over as the curly haired boy began speaking to her.

she nodded, "yeah, it is"

"that's a pretty name, i like it" he smiled at her, his smile honestly made her feel uncomfortable as he stared at her, what she didn't notice was his eyes dropped down to her chest.

"thanks" luna mumbled back in response, as she looked back at the boy struggling to get up the rocks.

"yeah, um.. well i'm seth" he introduced himself. "and uh.. by the way, it's raf, right? i've heard a couple others say raff or rafe"

"it's raf, yeah" raf answered, "but.. but whatever really. i- i hear all versions all the time" he added.

seth let out a laugh, "yeah, yeah. raf, though. good.. good solid name"

"ah, ah, damn it! take five!

"we headed towards some rocks, and we were gonna climb them but dj was having trouble and he was struggling to even walk or move. so we headed back down. he definitely broke his toe when he kicked the rock earlier that day, so he ended up going back where we all were before" luna told the men.

day one!

"i know it's just a toe. and if i were with the other guys right now, that steak-head triple-didge would be calling me a pussy" tracksuit boy said as he sat against a rock.

"you used triple-didge"

"yeah, it's good. it's catching" the two boys laughed.

"you got anything in your medicine cabinet for this?" she heard taylor ask josh, she looked over at them. she stood across from them on the right side of the injured boy.

"oh, my god. yeah. i have everything for this. are you team ibuprofen or team acetaminophen?" josh asked.

"uh, both"

"yeah, man. i mean, look, if you wanna head back, you can. nobody needs to be a hero" seth told the boy.

"are you serious? i mean, if only be slowing you guys down"

seth nodded, "yeah, totally. your call"

"thanks, guys, seriously"

luna watched as josh handed the boy his walking stick, and as the boy turned back around, "hey, guys. good luck" he told them before turning back and walking away. luna couldn't help but get a bad feeling from that.

"okay"

present!

luna tensed up, and began to feel sick as she remembered one of the moments she wished to forget.

"are you okay, ms martin?" agent young asked, "you seem uncomfortable. is it because of what happened to dj? he questioned, looking at the girl with sympathy.
