12:13pm

"are you serious? suicides? like basketball?" i question.

"two of my team decided to be late this morning. you guys are going to run until i say stop. understand? and no powers," she warns me.

i roll my eyes.

"i'm superhuman. you expect me to run full human all the time?" i ask, smiling.

"on this side of the wall, now."

anna, chin, and i line up.

"it's you two dweebs fault," chin says, sticking his middle finger at us.

"no one says dweeb, dweeb," anna tells him, and flicks his forehead.

before he can retaliate, i stop him in his tracks, not even looking at him.

"dom! come on!" he yells.

"what have we talked about?"

"i know! guys don't hit girls, but she thumped my head!"

"can we knock this off?!" ann yells, "go! run! now!"

i release chin and we all begin to run together.

i'll admit, we've gotten pretty close. my trust for them still limited though.

but they're fun to be around.

at times. in their own way.

hm. they're what i have right now circumstantially.

let's do some digging.

🕷️ | fuck, i can't keep this up too long. i'll hear enough from the brat.

the brat.

some secret child hidden in this building somewhere.

i've learned a lot about her, but not enough.

i still don't know what her name is.

or where she is.

but she's a child. i know that for sure.

ann and borkov secret child no one knows about? i've tried to piece together these things but it's difficult.

🦟 | dominic is so cool! he should've let me hit anna. she's so annoying. she can be cool but sometimes. never all the time like dominic.

i smile to myself as we continue to jog in rhythm with each other.

chin reminds me of someone. i can't quite remember who though. but someone.

🐍 | shit. shit. shit. she's actually going to kill me. i'm screwed. i'm royally fucking screwed.

you are not screwed.

🐍 | get out of my head dominic.

we're fine.

🐍 | we aren't. but i'm glad you seem to think so.

i mean, seriously, how was she supposed to keep us from one another? we're all trapped in this building. besides, ann is distracted today.

🐍 | you read her mind too? you need to be careful before she finds out.

she won't. don't worry. this is reserved for us. our little secret.

🐍 | sucks i can't read your mind. or communicate with you.

perks.

🐍 | disadvantage.

for you.

🐍 | exactly.

we run for a while before ann dismisses us and leaves the room briskly.

"what's her problem?" chin asks.

"she's been in a hurry lately," anna adds on, as we stare at the door.

whatever it is, involves a kid, and no one's supposed to know about it except borkov and ann.

"whatever her hurry, must be something important attached to it," i tell them.

the kid is important.
