Elias's POV

"How did you get a car without someone noticing?"I ask and he sighs,looking at me through the mirror.

"It might come as a surprise but I do have a friend or two."

Sarcastic as always.

"You talking about Rosie?That's not friendship,that's just being horny.That girl always wanted to get in your pants."

"Who says she haven't?"I can already imagine him smirking.I sigh and he laughs.

"Why are you helping us anyway?"I ask,making him clearly uncomfortable.

"I'm trying to redeem myself to her."

I look down at the unconscious Hayley in my arms,and I brush some hair off of her face.

"How is she?Any luck?"He asks me,all the fun and sarcasm completely out of his voice.

"No..She's still out."I take a deep breath."Why are you helping us anyway?Don't you have to murder someone else's sister today?"I pop my eyebrow up and his hands tighten around the wheel."Oh did I hit a nerve?"

"I get you're bitter but I'll have to politely ask you to shut up."

Now who's bitter huh?

"Okay I know I asked you to shut up,but I don't really know where,uh,your camp is so,please,enlighten me."He says like someone is dragging the words out of his mouth.I give him the map his mother gave me,and he studies it for a while."How predictable."

"What you've been there before?"He nodds and tosses me back the map."How long."

"It's gonna a while.It's a small deserted town with many underground tunnels.There are a lot of people that don't know about this place.You'd be surprised of how many of them are in the Army."

He keeps mumbling to himself for the entire ride,to keep himself occupied I guess.The small town appears before our eyes as we get closer,and I hold Hayley tighter,ready to get out of the car quickly.The car comes to a quick stop,as Fox steps on the breaks hard.

I get Hayley and he gets the bag,as I quickly walk down the street.Yeah hiding in plain sight is really nice but if someone doesn't come out right now I'm gonna start yelling and leave the rest at God's good will.And we all know we don't particularly have God's blessing these days.

"That's it.Selene!"I shout.A door four houses from me opens violently and she runs to the street.

"Could you not scream bloody murder-"She stops immediately when she sees me approaching with her unconscious daughter in my arms,but takes a step back in disbelief when she notices Fox by my side.

"I brought blood for a transfusion.We have to get her in a house."He tells her,but she stays there,blinking at him like he's some kind of ghost.

"Selene.She's lost too much blood.She's dying.So I suggest you snap out of it and help your daughter."She swallows hard and turns around,telling us to follow her.

"Looks like I'm not the only one that never wanted to see you again."I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Believe me.You definitely don't know why she doesn't wanna see me."I study him from head to tow,and it's clear he truly hates his mother right now.

"Lay her here."We followed her down a secret room in the house she came out of,leaving her on the bed at the corner."Do you have-"

"I got everything."He gives it to her,but still keeps his distance from her.
