Brooklynn walked in the front as everyone else followed. She was trying to find the sound that they heard but when she reached the end, something else was found. She put her hands on the wall near the red light, leaning her head on it to hear better. "If there's electricity down here, we could find a way to raise that gate. We gotta follow that hum." She took the keycard out of her pocket and scanned it in the door with hope.
With a loud beep, the door unlocked as the red light turned green. As soon as the door opened everyone was hit with cold oxygen.
Violet turned to look at Bumpy as she walked near her to pat Bullet who stayed on top of her. "You're lucky you're small. You get to be carried everywhere." She pointed at Bullet who quickly turned his head away from the finger, side-eyeing her.
She then turned to Ben, speaking in a low voice, "Hey, what'd I say, our superstar knows everything. Ninety percent of the time."
Kenji turned to look over his shoulder from hearing murmuring. He saw Violet and Ben chatting behind him. He started to wonder how long they were together out in the wilderness alone. What if she had a new best friend? What if she grew feelings for him? He knew her type was very different but still, you never know. They were the only people out there.
No. He quickly shook his head, forgetting the thoughts, feeling dumb for even suggesting the ideas. "Anyone could have thought of that? It's common knowledge." He pointed his words at the two behind him.
"It's not a competition." Violet went to walk past Kenji, patting his upper back as they followed Brooklynn. "You didn't think of it first, I didn't think of it. It's the keycard that's saved us one too many times. Like, imagine if Brooklynn lost it."
"Don't jinx it." Brooklynn lifted the keycard up.
Kenji sighed in slight defeat but not fully giving in to it. "Hey, I was still coming up with a plan to help Bumpy." He then muttered to himself, "While you're having fun with Ben."
Connor raised his brows at them all talking. "Ben? The same one who was trying to fight that gate?"
He and Yasmina glanced at each other with similar faces, not totally understanding what was happening.
"The point is-"
Violet stared at his face, reading him. She then smiled as she put an arm around him. "Are you jealous? Don't be, you will always be my other half." She then put the sunglasses on while raising her brows at him which made him smile, putting his thoughts at ease. "C'mon, Kenji, you're my brother. You could never be replaced."
