I read up more on the red eye.
..
Jade helped me fill out my release forms. I had to get my doctor to sign, approving that I was mentally well enough to leave.. Doesn't make sense when staying here is what drives you crazy.

"You filled out these all wrong."

"What?!"

My pocket was buzzing..

"Hello?"

"Henry, I need you to come to the dinning hall."
..
News on the T.V about a bombing in Gujarat, India where Heelix believed Guen to be.

Everyone was watching.

"I highly doubt she could be there.."

"Henry! That was the last place I've heard of your sister.." he whispered to me.

I shook my head no and walked out.
..
"Bologna or ham?"

These days at the League were so boring.

"You know I know you're depressed over your little lover dying, but you're ALWAYS depressed! I can't tell if you're sad over her dying or you just still being here!"

"Yeah well my release forms are getting denied soon so I guess you'll have me to pyscho- analyze."

Cap smiled.

"How long you been here anyway?"

He smiled again.

"Henry?"

It was Heelix.

"The Captain just placed you on a team.. Actually you too Cap."

"Oh! So I must be your new partner. Hi I'm Cap, I'll be babysitting you now!" He was snarky to Henry.

"Load up the cart!"

Cap was looking at Henry journaling.

Henry noticed.

"I have to. It's my journal.. If I wanna get my release forms approved." "So you didn't get yourself released because you couldn't journal?"

Henry tried ignoring him.

"I mean.. All you had to do was write how boring your day was, that you don't fantasize on killing no one and YOU'D just get released?"

"No longer.. fantasize of killing no one."

Henry went back to shutting him out.

"I mean if all I had to do was tell them what I ate, and what I did today, and how that didn't include hurting anybody.. I can say.. I'd be free to go!"

"The eating part.. That's already monitored."

Cap couldn't stop laughing so Henry smiled to himself.

"Ok! Don't you ever wonder why they monitor you so much?"

"Henry is it? Ride with Cap on the motorcycle. Pay attention to strangers- Or just stay behind him. We're leaving in ten."

We were going to one of the state's unpatrolled towns still occupied by people in the desert with only a few officers.

It was 100° but it felt like a thousand degrees.

We were parked in front of an old saloon.

"Welcome to the Old Town."

"What do we do with all the illegal immigrants?" He answered himself before anyone could. "Kill them?"
