Holding June sends shivers through me. I don't know why but it does. I'm not going to lie. She's extremely pretty even in slum clothes. I can't believe somebody killed Metias. I'm glad June doesn't think i killed her brother because i don't kill. I might injure, but i don't kill.
"You're awfully quiet," June says. I look at her and shrug. She smirks.
"Oh, sorry by the way," i say.
"Sorry for what?"
"For letting you fall. I din't mean it. I was just angry."
"That's okay." I think i saw her blush. Wait a minute. Why would we even fall for each other. She's an elite republic solider. I'm the most wanted criminal. But she's pretty, and i really want to kiss her. Once we turn a corner i say,
"We're here."
I knock on the door and Sutter opens it. He looks at June for a long time and then he eyes me. He pulls out a knife and charges me. I let go of June and dodge it. I see June leaning on a wall. He gets ready to stab me and i close my eyes and i shrink back waiting for it to come. But it doesn't. When i open my eyes, i see June has Sutter in a head lock and has him disarmed. I stare at her wide-eyed. I knew she was a prodigy, but i didn't know she was that good. I start to her Sutter cough and June says,
"Promise me you won't attack anybody." He does the best to nod and she lets him go. He turns to me and says,
"You've got some nerve to show your face here Day."
"Will you tell me what Day did to make you hate him?" June asks.
"We better go inside first," he says. "And it look like you might need some help getting that wound fixed up."
"Okay," she says and we both walk in.
