"We're gonna need a ring." I said blatantly as we hurried out of the maze of doors and hallways.
Drew glanced at me and I could tell I added to his stress with my remark.
"Wyatt's working in section 4, over here." He walked up to one of the white doors and used his badge to open it.
"What's section 4?" I asked anxiously.
Drew pushed open the door which revealed a giant, shiny, all- white room with every ridiculously complex technological device they harbored here.
"Engineering." He raised a brow as if to say 'impressive'.
"But he's..." I thought about his age. He was 15 now. Maybe he was some kind of engineer in training.
I followed him into the blinding showcase of electronics around me. An array of lights and colors and sounds surrounded us. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than the other and I breathed a sigh of relief for my brother.
I looked at all the young brainiacs bustling around me. They were synced in uniforms of white coats and clear glasses like what the world thought nerds would look like 30 years ago. And they were right. Each person looked enthralled in their work.
"How are we going to find him in here?" The room appeared to go on forever in every direction.
I looked up to find that Drew was already across the room. In the center of the room was a 360 degree screen that formed a cylinder. Drew typed in Wyatt's name into one of the keyboards and pressed a red button that lit up and flashed on and off.
I spun around and searched for anyone walking towards us.
And then I saw him. His head covered in wavy strands of light brown hair ducked through the commotion of people. His eyes were fixated on Drew. I stood frozen watching from a distance as he walked up to him.
I saw his mouth move to say 'Can I help you with something?'. Drew mumbled a few words and pointed at me. Wyatt turned his head and his eyes lit up. 'Quinn!' He shouted and ran to me. I opened my arms and wrapped them around him tightly.
"You're so tall." The tears found their way back to my eyes as I held him.
"Quinn!" He pulled back "How did you get here?"
"That boy over there. He saved my life. And he brought me here." I smiled
"Is he you're boyfriend?" Wyatt smirked.
"He's a little more than my boyfriend." I giggled.
"Is he your husband?" Wyatt yelled like a little kid.
"Shh! No- not yet at least." I squinted my eyes and laughed.
"Does that mean you're staying?" He asked
"Yes. I'm not going anywhere."
"Good." He grinned.
