"So, everyone else is alive?" Charity asked.

I nodded my head, Charity, Jerry and I sat at a wooden park bench that sat in the courtyard.

We were enjoying some pretty bad soup for breakfast. I wasn't even sure what was in this, but whatever it was it tasted terrible. Around us was other bench's with other people enjoying there breakfast, some were werewolfs, some had pointy ears, and others were larger with green skin, there were also a fair share of humans too.

"Yeah, some people I wish didn't survive are here , but yes alot of the people that were with us came here too" I answered handing Charity the list of names I got from Rielly.

"Edwin, Diana, Damon I don't see them on here" Charity spoke sadly.

I nodded gravely.

"Yeah, as I said not everyone made it." I spoke.

"And what about Maya's kid? You mentioned she had the baby?" Jerry asked.

I nodded taking another spoonful of the soup, I winced as it went down my throat.

"She had the baby, he seems healthy, they named the boy Ebow" I spoke.

"Like, E-Bow? Why that name?" Charity asked.

I shrugged.

"Didn't ask" I answered.

"Man, you gotta feel bad for Ryder, I know he loved her but he is in no state to take care of that child" Charity spoke.

"Not to mention he's a terrible human being" Jerry mumbled.

"He also isn't here, thank God" Charity spoke.

I figured I'd just ask, I was sick of people mentioning this "Ryder" guy.

"Who's Ryder?" I asked.

Charity and Jerry looked over to me in confusion, Jerry smlied as if he thought I was kidding. Charity looked straight into my eyes, she knew I was serious and she looked scared, and worried for me.

"Jayce, are you serious? You have no idea who Ryder is?" Charity asked.

I shook my head.

"No idea" I spoke.

"Sometimes if someone goes through a traumatic experience they cut out certain events from there mind" Jerry spoke through a mouthful of his soup.

Charity looked back at me, and nodded.

"Alright, Jayce. Ryder is your-"

Charity was interrupted by the iron door swinging open and Cyblow running out into the courtyard, he was shirtless, and was zipping up the zipper on his blue jeans.

He ran over to us and pulled me to my feet.

"Alright times up we're out of here" Cyblow spoke seeming rushed to leave.

"Why?" I asked.

"The main reason is to act as a interruption for the plot. But also because Claws is going to kill me" Cyblow spoke turning and running towards the gate.

I looked back to Charity and Jerry.

"Alright, well goodbye I guess" I spoke as I shrugged and followed Cyblow out the gate.

I jumped into the shotgun seat of the Jeep and Cyblow basically escape getaway car style'd us away from Blakwall.

"So, why did we run again?" I asked.
