"Levi."

"Yes?"

She looked over at him for a moment. "Once we're out of here, what do you think we'll do?"

Levi eyed her warily. "Um, go back home?"

"Obviously but what after that?"

"I haven't given it much thought."

"Alright.. but what about the extends to which you'll go to get back?"

"What do you mean?"

She shrugged. "It's a simple question."

"No, it's not. There's some underlying message in it."

"What? No. I'm just asking. How far will you go to get out?"

"As far as I have to." Levi stated. His doubts were increasing. "I won't hesitate to kill those soldiers. As many as I have to, no matter how they appear." He made sure to leave a threat with his tone.

But this only confused her. "So you don't care about casualties?"

"No, not really."

Alyssa scoffed. "Of course."

He frowned and turned his head towards her. "What? You won't kill them? Aren't they your enemies as well?"

"They are, but I don't know if only they are."

"You mean Robb?"

She glanced at him, paused and then shook her head. "Doesn't matter. I just know that I gotta look after me myself."

He didn't understand what she meant so he just said, "Right."

She cleared her throat. "Any groups in between here to Cheyenne?"

Levi opened the laptop and silently nodded.

"Okay." She said.

"Okay?"

"Yeah?"

"You'll want to fight with the soldiers?"

"Of course? What's wrong with you?"

Then it hit him. What if it's a trap, he thought.

"I'm not sure if I'm the one who has something wrong."

"What?" She narrowed her eyes in disbelief.

"Nothing. Just drive. They're a few hours away."

Shouldn't have saved him, she thought as she tuned him out. He did the same.

....

"Alright. I'll take the back door, you come in from front and meet in the middle."

"I'll take the back." Levi stated and without letting her speak, got out of the car.

Alyssa frowned and got out as well. "I always take the back."

Levi stared at her. "So take the front this time."

Alyssa was perplexed. She decided to let it go for now.

Levi turned his back to her and quickly walked over to the back.

A little boy was staring out from his window when he saw Levi slowly making his way towards the building.

He turned around, his eyes golden, "the hunters are here!"
