" We just need a boat that's big enough. " sabi ni Raelle habang nasa punduhan ng mga bangka
" Okay. What about this one? " tanong ni Scylla
" That's too loud. " sabi ni Raelle
" Why do I get the feeling that you've done this before? " sabi ni Scylla
" I have done this, many times " sabi ni Raelle
" in San Francisco? " nakangiting tanong ni Scylla
" yeah " sabi ni Raelle
" Hey, I think this one's perfect. " nakangiting sabi ni Scylla habang naka turo sa small boat.
" Yeah. Just you and me? " nakangiting sabi ni Raelle
" That's right " nakangiting sabi ni scylla sabay halik sa labi ni Raelle.
" yeah, straight to the lighthouse. " nakangiting sabi ni Scylla
" Someday soon, we'll go there together. Just the two of us, all right? " sabi ni Raelle
" I promise. and when everything okay now. pupunta tayo sa other country with our family. dun tayo titira. all right? " sabi ni Raelle
" okay " nakangiting sabi ni Scylla
***************
" All right. When the car goes, they have to lift the wards just long enough for it to drive through. That's when we go. " sabi ni Raelle
" Is that enough time for all of
us? " tanong ni Tally
" It has to be, Tally, because this time of night, we don't know when another car is gonna come along. " sabi ni Raelle
" When we go, you stick close to me, 'cause the last thing we need is for the Marshals to catch wind of us being here, 'cause if they catch us, we'll be extradited back to the States. " sabi ni Raelle kay Nicte
" You really need to get over this whole Marshal thing. " sabi ni Nicte
" And you have no idea what you're talking about so why don't you keep your opinions to yourself. " sabi ni Raelle
" I've been in and out of the Cession for years, decades. I've never once seen them. " sabi ni Nicte
" Yeah, well, you can be
sure they saw you. " sabi ni Raelle
" The Marshals are the best trackers in the planet. They're the boogeyman. Just something they tell you to keep you in line. " sabi ni Nicte
" Come on. " sabi ni Raelle nang bumukas ang Barrier.

Next Day
Forest:
naka sandal naman ngayon si Raelle habang nililiha yung kutsilyo sa puno habang naka upo rin sina Scylla at Tally.
" i can read your mind.. you all want me to tell a story " sabi ni Raelle
" yes " sabi ni Tally
" okay " sabi ni Raelle
" i will tell you my story when i was a child. when i was 12 years old " sabi pa ni Raelle
" Before. Year 2020. the day we graduate in fort salem. before we deployed.. Dad gave me a Letter from my Mom.. She said she loved me more than the sky above and earth below. And that she'd always be close. " sabi ni Raelle
" The last day that she was with us,
when dad went to work.. We fought. " sabi pa ni Raelle
" 'Bout what? " tanong ni Scylla
