Chapter 9
"Have you heard of the Sherikans who died during a long trip through the Leskian Desert?"
"That was on the headlines a week ago. Why'd you ask, Hans?"
"Well, it really makes me worry. I mean, there were eleven of them, right?"
"Uhuh," Matt nodded.
"If we go on that trek, we might end up dead too."
"Huh? You're funny, man."
"No, really. I mean, we're what? 13. Those guys were old.
"Exactly, they died because they were old!" Matt joked.
"I'm serious here."
"Ugh. Yeah, you are right."
Hans never quite understood how Matt thought about things. He just didn't know if Matt had really meant what he had said.
