Sorry about this update taking…checks a year! WHAT THE CRAP! Dang, that's just crazy. I'm sorry! Junior year was nuts and chapter 10 was originally apart of chapter 9 but it got so long that I decided to split them into two. Enjoy! I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations.

Chapter 9

The Hunt

As Rebecca and Billy calmly walked down the small hall, Liana was skipping along behind them with a huge smile on her face that made her look like a hyper anime character. She was still humming the perky matchmaker song. Rebecca was ahead and looked around the room for anything useful. Billy stopped and turned to Liana who halted behind him.

"What's with you?" he asked her.

"I'm happy!" she said in a voice so perky it made Billy take a step away from her. Billy saw something in that beaming smile of hers.

"What are you planning?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nuuuuuuhhhthing." She droned, obviously lying but not trying to hide it.

"…You Asian people are weird." Billy said shaking his head and continuing after Rebecca.

"Crack-ass crackuh." Liana taunted back using "the old black guy" voice. Billy turned around with a look that could be described as annoyed, but trying not to laugh.

"Moron! You're a cracker too!" Billy shot back with a chuckle.

"I'm a half cracker, cracker sandwich! Get it right!"

"You're half a cracker sandwich with sushi!" Both of them started giggling by now.

"You're a cracker sandwich with…um…crack…in the…middle." Liana finished, trying to make a better comeback.

"Ha! You suck at comebacks! Crack-ass white trash rule! Owned biatch!"

"Hey! That's The Biatch!"

"Behave, you two!" Rebecca called.

"Alright," Liana said as she walked passed Billy in Rebecca's direction, "Back to bweezness." ("Bweezness" is a bad way to pronounce business in case you didn't figure it out).

"Bweezness?" Billy asked.

"I've heard that before. Where is that from?" Billy thought. His eyes went wide and he smiled when he remembered.

"Strong Bad!" he cried out, making Liana turn around.

"Yes!" she replied.

"Trogdor!"

"Trogdor!" They both started pretending to rock hard on guitars.

"Shut up, people!" Rebecca called, but they paid no attention.

"And the dragon comes in the NNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" They both sang obnoxiously loud. They hit a screaming high note on "night" but were cut off when Rebecca hit Billy in the forehead with a pebble.

"Ow!" Billy cried out, rubbing his head, "That wasn't nice!"

"I warned you, but you didn't listen. It's your own fault." Rebecca explained, walking over to them.

"Akiko, why didn't you tell me Rebecca was warning us?" Billy complained.

"Because I wanted to see what she would do to you." She answered with a smile.

"Why didn't you throw a rock at Miss Perky, here?" the convict asked Rebecca.

"Because, knowing her, she'd catch it or dodge it or something, making it very pointless."

"Squee!" Liana said in cheerful response. She then pretended to trip and ram into Billy. And just as she planned, it caused Billy to ram into Rebecca who was stopped by the wall behind her. This caused them to end up in a very awkward position and from Liana's perspective, it looked like they were making-out.

"Oops! Clumsy me!" Liana said with an innocent grin. She walked to the door by the room where Rebecca was found and opened it, "Come on, love-birds! Let's get moving!"

"Love-birds?" Rebecca thought. Her eyes went wide at the thought and the image that came with it. She didn't want to admit it, but the visual wasn't so bad.

"So that's what she's trying to do. I knew it!" Billy thought as he followed Liana with Rebecca right behind him. Of course it's not like he didn't like what Liana was doing. After all, she did get him in a very "awkward" position with Rebecca, "Thanks Akiko!"

"I must get those two together! They want each other! I just know it!" Liana thought, "It is now my mission to pair them up!"

"I will succeed!" she said out loud.

"Doing what?" Rebecca asked, getting suspicious.

"Oh! Uh, nothing!" she said innocently as she waited for the two "love-birds" to get through the door.

When they closed the door behind them, Billy's eyes went wide and he got stiff as a board.

"Oh shit! Not again!" he cried out when he saw another giant arachnid.

"Want me to take care of this one?" Liana asked. Billy gulped.

"Face your fears. Face your fears," he thought in attempt to make himself do it on his own. He let himself nod slowly as he took out his shotgun. He kept staring at the spider at the foot of several stairs before him. It was just staring at him, not doing anything. It sat there as if daring him to come down and fight.

"You sure?" the B.O.W. asked. She could tell what he was thinking, "I can hear at least one more around the corner." Billy went pale.

"Oh hell no!" he squeaked, "I was just kidding! You go! Have fun! Eat them!"

"Sir yes, sir!" Liana smiled and saluted Billy. Rebecca just laughed. She grabbed Liana's arm before she jumped.

"Hey, have fun with this one. Show off! Make this interesting!"

"Now that's more like it!" she grinned as she cracked her knuckles, "Watch this!" Liana jumped off the stairs at the tarantula. It reared up on its hind legs and prepared its fangs for attack. She tackled the monster to the rough, rocky ground and started punching it in the mouth. Its fangs broke off and eventually she punched right through its mouth and out of the top of its head. It died before the blood splattered onto her face. She turned to her right and saw another tarantula. She grinned when she got an idea. She took the dead tarantula's two longest fangs out of its broken mouth, which were already punched from its jaws. She gripped the long fangs like daggers. Billy and Rebecca came down the stairs to watch what she would do. Liana did a front handspring at an angle and used the fangs as hands. As she landed on one of the fangs, she spun around in an upside-down front splits, kicking the giant spider continually in the eyes and slashing its legs with the other fang as she spun. After spinning three times, she completed her front handspring and thrust both fangs through its head. Liana left the fangs in the arachnid's head and wiped the blood off her face with her shirt.

"How was that?" she asked with a smile. Rebecca applauded excitedly.

"Well done! Well done!" she complimented in a random Scottish accent, "That was most entertaining! Very daring!" Billy gave Rebecca a weird look because of her randomness.

"Showoff." The Lieutenant said.

"You're just jealous that you can't even face one of these monsters, much less what I did, which is something I could still do when I was human." Liana shot back playfully.

"What the- You could do that spinny-thingy even when you were human?" Billy asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, but it was hard as hell though. It took forever until I was able to get it right. The first time I did it was by accident. Go figure. But now in this form it's easy!"

"Agreed," Rebecca chimed in, "You suck, Billy." Billy blushed with embarrassment.

"You people are mean." Billy pouted.

"Hai, hai." Liana said sarcastically.

"Alright, now that this is over, let's see what we got down here." Rebecca walked down the stairs and Billy followed.

"Why is everything so damn creepy in this place!" Billy said while looking around the hall. The room had the same ominous, rocky texture as the other room did.

"Don't know, don't care," Liana answered, "And I'm gonna check things out in here," she pointed to a wooden door off to the side, "While you guys go in there." She pointed to a big metal double door at the end of the hall.

"Oh great, you make us go in the big, creepy, sciency one." Billy said sarcastically.

"You can handle it." Liana smiled as she entered her door. Everyone in the room knew that Billy was just paranoid of running into more tarantulas without Fang around to help him. Sure he was perfectly capable of killing them on his own, more so with Rebecca by his side, but that phobia he had stole his confidence and courage. Liana left for two reasons: to give the humans some alone time to encourage them to get together and so Billy could conquer his arachnophobia once and for all, if there were even anymore of those beats in the next room waiting for him. The B.O.W. had faith in Billy. She knew he wouldn't be an easy kill.

Billy knew what she was trying to do and did appreciate it deep down, but he was still mad and scared.

"Sometimes I really hate that bitch." Billy growled.

"Oh come on," Rebecca protested, "Stop being such a damsel in distress."

"I have arachnophobia! Leave me alone!" Nothing hurts Billy's pride more than fearing something to an extreme that a little girl like Rebecca wasn't afraid of. He hated feeling weak, so he always kept his irrational fear of spiders a secret. And Rebecca couldn't be happier than to tease him about it.

"Now don't you worry m'lady," Rebecca grabbed Billy's hand, "I'll take good care of you." She winked as she readied her 9mm pistol.

"I hate you so much right now." Billy grumbled as Rebecca pulled him through the door.

Billy sighed with relief when he saw there was nothing he should shoot at inside. It was a room with a tall ceiling and a rocky texture just like the spider's hall behind them. Rebecca walked through the doorway off to her left while Billy ran up a flight of metal stairs to see if there was anything useful. Billy ended up in a weapons repair room with lockers and gun parts scattered on tables. He took seven shotgun rounds and a clip of handgun ammo off the tables.

"Looks all clear up here!" Billy called.

"Same down here!" Rebecca said back as she put six acid grenade rounds onto her bandoleer. There were empty bullet casings and bullet holes all over the room. Rebecca started getting worried. What was this place?

Off to the left of Billy was a bulletproof observation window overlooking the area Rebecca was in. It looked like a maze segmented off by metal barred gates sticking out of the floor. There was a control panel below the window. Billy got an idea.

"Hey Becks!" he called, "Don't move!"

"Why no-" she yelped when a barred gate shot down from the top of the doorway, blocking her exit and the barred gate to her right descended into the floor, "Tell me next time when you're gonna do that!" Billy held a button down on the panel.

"Hey, I figured out how to use the loud-speaker!" his voice echoed through the maze on the intercom.

"Are you even listening to me?" she huffed.

"Chill out, babe. I'm still trying to figure out how all this works."

"Mind letting me out?"

"I can't, sorry."

"What!" she looked up at the observation window at Billy.

"I don't know how and- Oo!" Billy saw something behind him, "I think I can fix that!" he ran away from the window and out of sight.

"Don't fix whatever you're looking at! Fix this!"

"I'm busy, Becks! Go figure it out yourself! Maybe there's a switch somewhere in the maze! Go climb over the gates and find out!" Billy yelled since he wasn't using the intercom. Rebecca growled in frustration.

"The jerk! He probably can fix it, but he just doesn't want to." Rebecca thought.

"I can't climb over those!" she yelled back.

"Yeah you can! Just try it!" Rebecca growled again and gave in. She didn't have any other choice. She walked up to the bars and looked at them, trying to figure out how to get up. After about a minute, she pushed her grenade launcher behind her and jumped as high as she could. She grabbed one of the bars with both hands and put her feet against two other bars. She tried to push up with her feet and pull with her arms but her arms still hurt from falling through the floor and holding onto the bar for so long. Also, she couldn't remember the last time she climbed with her older sister so she was rusty in this department. Her weakened muscles gave out and she slipped off the bars. She stretched her arms and rolled her shoulders a bit while she looked at the bars again, thinking of an easier way up. The huge pillar in the middle of the maze and the bars had a small gap in between them only a few inches wide. Rebecca got an idea and grabbed hold of the bars again. She jammed her toes in the gap and stood up. She balanced herself by putting her left hand on the pillar. She jammed one foot in front of the other until she climbed high enough where she could reach the top of the gate. She still worked her feet up through the gap until she was able to pull herself up and onto the top of the bar. She scooted over to the pillar and stood on top of it with a sigh of relief.

"Ha! I told you you could do it!" Billy's voice bragged on the intercom. Rebecca looked at the observation window and saw Billy waving an MP5 sub-machine gun around. He was watching her the whole time, "And guess what? I fixed this kick-ass hunk of junk! You can have it! It's got a strap and everything. I found three extra slips too! Aren't you happy?"

"Yeah, a lot of good it'll do me now, but sure! I'll take it when I get out!"

"Okie okie!" Billy said cheerfully, "See a button over there or something to let yourself out? Any herbs or something useful?" Rebecca looked over the edges of the pillar to see if she had to jump down or not. On the opposite side of the entrance were a red button on a wall and two holes in another wall blocked off by bars.

"Maybe." She said to herself as she hit the button with her grenade launcher and the bars covering the holes raised out of the way. She aimed her pistol and waited for a few seconds in case something was going to come out. Nothing happened so she jumped down, but kept her gun raised as a matter of caution. She looked into one of the cages and saw a small shiny object. She picked it up.

"A key," she thought, "It has a blue symbol…where have I seen this design?" she suddenly stood up in excitement, "The water motif door! Of course! Now we're getting somewhere!"

"Billy!" she called out loud, "We now have access to the water door!"

"And yippy skippy for that. Good job."

"You talking perky is kind of creepy!"

"Blame it on Akiko. It's contagious. Now, let's see if I can get you out of there." Billy started pressing buttons on the control panel. One of the bars lowered down behind Rebecca.

"Thanks for helping finally!"

"Hey, now I know what you're capable of! You rock climb?"

"Yeah, sometimes with my sis-" both the humans jumped when they heard a screech coming from one of the cages. Rebecca shot around and aimed her pistol. Out of the dark of the first cage (the only one she could see from where she was standing) came a beast Rebecca had never seen before. It was only Rebecca's height, but it was frightful nonetheless.

It had razor-sharp claws six inches long, a small head with beady red eyes and an enormous fanged mouth that took up half its face. Its neck was short and seemed to be fused to its spine so it couldn't turn its head much. The creature had tough legs with gargoyle-like feet with three clawed toes. It had a hunched-over, muscular body that was covered in green scales.

It screeched at Rebecca and ran at her. She raised her pistol and opened fire. The five rounds hit their mark, but seemed to have little to no effect and the monster was too close to use the grenade launcher on. Rebecca turned and ran as fast as she could away from the beast, but it caught up with her. It slashed at her back, knocking her over. The fabric of the vest tore but the metal underneath protected her. Rebecca tried to get up but the monster was too quick and kept scratching at her back. Eventually she was able to turn over and kick the thing in the face after it cut the straps off. The now useless vest fell to the floor as she tried to run back to the entrance. Just as Rebecca ran through the closest open gate, Billy pushed another button and the gate shot up out of the floor, blocking the monster's path and making it run into the bars. It fell onto its back and Rebecca let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Billy! That was a close one!" Rebecca called to the window.

"No prob," Billy said on the intercom as he pressed another button to lower the next gate, "I'm just glad you're-Oh shit! Rebecca, watch out above you!" The cop looked up and saw the monster they thought they stopped jump off the pillar at Rebecca with its claw raised in a long strike. She screamed in fright and dodged the attack letting its sharp claws chip the cement floor. Rebecca sat up and saw the stupid creature was too busy composing itself and taunting her to attack. It was far away enough to use a grenade round on. She quickly pulled out her explosive, aimed, and was about to pull the trigger when she felt a sharp pain in her back and blood run down her shirt. This made her scream and pull the grenade launcher up as she fired. The grenade hit the wall, blowing a hole above the monster. The concrete debris knocked it out and buried it. Rebecca crawled away and turned around. Another one of the scaled beats had reached through the bars of a gate behind her and slashed her across the back. It sneered at her for a moment and jumped over the gate. It was too close to hit with a grenade. Rebecca saw no choice but to use her first gun. She tried hitting the thing in the head, but didn't do very well since she was trying to get up and run away again when it started moving. The bullets that hit its body didn't sink far because of its thick, tough, scaly flesh.

Meanwhile, Billy was frantically trying to open the entrance to the maze, but nothing worked. The switches and buttons either didn't work at all or just opened and closed the gates inside the maze.

"Come on! Come on!" Billy yelled. He heard more gunshots, screeches, and screams inside the maze, "Fuck! Work already before they kill her!"

"Billy! Open the door!" Rebecca screamed as she dodged another attack on the opposite side of the entrance.

"I'm trying! It won't open!" Billy looked up and saw the monster had tackled Rebecca and was trying to bite her. Her gun was empty and behind the scaled beast. Back by the entrance, the other monster had awakened and hurried to help its comrade, "Look out! The other one's coming!"

"Shit." Rebecca murmured as she kicked the monster off of her. She stood up to see she was cornered by the two and her gun was out of reach. They both lunged for her. Rebecca dodged one of them but the other nearly severed her arm at the shoulder. She screamed and stumbled as she held her now-useless arm. She tried to run away to an open gate, but the abominations blocked her way and started carving up her stomach and her legs.

"Rebecca! No!" Billy screamed while pounding on the glass. Rebecca was too weak and in pain to fight or run, so she was just continually sliced up against the wall. Billy stared in horror at this sight. There was nothing he could do. Even if he could open the entrance for her, there was no way she could escape to it. He couldn't run down to the entrance and shoot the monsters because the pillar was in the way and he couldn't help from where he was standing because of the bulletproof glass. She was dying and there was nothing Billy could do to stop it.

Rebecca felt herself losing consciousness from loss of blood and her eyesight blurred. She couldn't move and all she could do was watch their claws pierce her flesh over and over. She heard someone calling her name and something ramming into the entrance gate. She knew there was no hope left and just wanted the pain to end. She surrendered, held her breath, and closed her eyes, awaiting the final strike. She heard two strikes, but felt nothing. She let out her last breath and waited to see the light that everyone has heard about when you die and start to go to heaven. She saw nothing, so she opened her eyes. When she did, she saw the two hunters standing up and perfectly still. Her blood dripped from their claws and covered the floor. The monsters slowly toppled over like trees and twitched on the floor, their severed heads rolling off their necks and away from their blood-drenched bodies. Behind them was a third pair of bloody claws. They were long and thin, but incredibly sharp. The figure that possessed them was crouched on the floor, like a freeze-frame of a kill position. The claws retracted and the figure stood up.

"Damn hunters," Liana grumbled as she kneeled next to Rebecca, "They nearly killed you."

"Rebecca!" Billy screamed as he jumped off the pillar and ran to her side, "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. If I didn't mess around in the first place and close the entrance you'd be okay!" He put pressure on the huge wound on her stomach to try to stop the bleeding.

"Damn it, she's lost a lot of blood," Liana said, trying to stay calm, "I don't have any herbs on me. She has some in her medpack, right?" Billy pulled Rebecca off the wall and held her close (being gentle with her nearly severed arm) so Liana could reach Rebecca's medpack. She pulled out two green herbs, "Thank God. I don't have to hunt for something." The blood pool beneath Rebecca was still growing.

"Hey Lee?" Billy said sounding like he was about to panic, "I don't think she's gonna last long enough to grind those up. The bleeding won't stop!"

"Then let's just hope it'll still work when its shredded," she said as she tore blank page out of the small book she had in her pocket and laid the herbs on the piece of paper, "Hang in there, Rebecca. You gotta stay awake, okay? Come on. Talk to me, sing a song or something." Billy gently stroked Rebecca's hair and her face to try to keep her awake and made her focus on him. It didn't really do anything because she was numb with bad vision.

"O…okay," Rebecca felt herself drifting away. She took a gasp of air and tried to sing something. She unintentionally hyperventilated to keep the oxygen level in her blood up. The song came out as whispers and cracks, "So I wait…through the night…cuz tomorrow you may find…that you will…need me…again…for some tender…love and …care…" Rebecca fell silent and her eyes started to close.

"Becks? Come on, don't give up!" Billy shook her a little, "Stay awake. Keep singing."

"Hang on just a little longer. I'm almost there." Liana told her as she continued slashing up the herbs with her claws.

"Please God, don't let her die," Liana prayed in her head, "We still need her here. Help me heal her. I need a purpose in this form. I couldn't save my parents, so I have to save these two. Please don't let Rebecca die!"

Rebecca wanted to speak, to give some words of encouragement to the two who still had to survive this hellhole, or to at least say goodbye and that she appreciated them, but she couldn't. She couldn't move, couldn't talk, and couldn't keep her eyes open. She couldn't hold on any longer. Her heart was beating rapidly, trying to pump more blood into her body, but she only bled out more, so less oxygen was going to her brain because less blood was being pumped to it. Her brain was shutting down and she probably would have panicked if she could, but all she could do was feel tired and slip away.

"Rebecca?" Billy shook her again. She didn't respond, "Come on, doll-face! Don't do this to me! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," Liana murmured as she quickly crossed herself, "Wake her." She picked up the small shreds and sprinkled them across all her wounds on her abdomen and back.

"It's working!" Billy said with a hopeful voice as the pieces started to sizzle and close the wounds, "Give me some!" Billy took a pinch of the herbs and sprinkled them across severely injured shoulder.

"Here, you finish up." Liana gave him the rest of the herbs as she pulled a syringe out of her pocket. It was filled with a blue liquid.

"What is that?" Billy asked as he treated the rest of her wounds.

"A chemical that makes the body produce blood faster, so she won't die from lack of blood. I found it like ten minutes ago." She informed as she injected it into Rebecca's arm.

"Why didn't you use it sooner!" Billy shouted angrily.

"Because she'd keep bleeding out all the new blood and the chemical only works temporarily, so it wouldn't do any good if we didn't close the wounds first!" she shouted back.

"Oh…right…sorry."

"Don't worry about it," Liana sighed as she checked Rebecca's vital signs, "She's evening out. She'll be okay. She should wake up in a few minutes."

"Yeah and all thanks to you." Billy said as he gave her a quick hug.

"Hey is there a locker up there?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Be right back," Liana jumped over the pillar and out the entrance she knocked down. She ran upstairs and collapsed on her knees. That was the longest few minutes she had ever experienced, at least that she could remember, and a lot of stress had built up. She really thought Rebecca wouldn't make it. She was able to control her want to panic and contained her stress and now she just let it out in tears and quiet sobs for about a minute. Then she smiled with relief that everything was okay again. She crossed herself once more, "Thank you," she whispered as she kissed the cross on her rosary. Then she stood up and found the locker. She pulled a small key out of her pocket and used it. Inside she found a metal suitcase and two pistol holsters. The case needed a code to open, so she was about to try to break it open when she saw the numbers "385" carved into the bottom of the case. She tried the combination and it worked, "How retarded is that! What's the point of having the lock then?" Inside the case were some gun parts. One of which looked like a scope. Liana punched the window a few times until she made a hole, "Hey Billy, how's Rebecca doing?" she said through the hole.

"She's still asleep," Billy answered as he held her resting body, "Want me to wake her up?"

"No, let her sleep for now. You left your sub-machine gun, shotgun, ammo, and pistol up here and I found some stuff that I don't know how to use. Wanna see?"

"Sure, bring it all down. You didn't have to kill the window, you know. There is an intercom back there."

"Oh…whatever." Liana shrugged as she grabbed the weapons and accessories and traveled back to her friends.

"The hunters are still twitching. That's just creepy." Billy commented.

"Yeah, they're such spazes. Why'd you take your shotgun off anyways?"

"It was kind of bugging me I guess, so I took it off when I started messing with that MP5." Billy said pointing to the submachine gun.

"Huh, whatever. Here's the stuff." She dropped everything next to him.

"What's in the case?"

"Some gun parts," she said as she opened the case and let Billy look, "Know what to do with em?"

"Yeah! Rebecca's gonna like this! Here, take her for a sec." He gently passed her to Liana who let her friend rest her head on her lap. Billy loaded Rebecca's pistol with one of the clips in her pocket and messed with the gun parts from the case until his friend's gun had a scope on it. He put it in one of the holsters and clipped it to Rebecca's pants.

"Why doesn't she already have one?" Liana asked, "She is a cop isn't she?"

"Yeah, that's pretty weird. Oh well. Doesn't matter, she's got one now." Billy sat back to put his gun in the other holster and accidentally leaned on one of the decapitated hunters. Its still active nerves reacted to the touch with a quick, uncoordinated, instinctive attack. Like a severed rattlesnake head, it struck and left five long, deep claw marks streaking across his back and shoulder blade. Billy let out a surprised, pained cry and crawled away from it. Liana quickly jumped up and kicked the body away.

"I don't know how long these are gonna be active so let's move to a safer place." Liana suggested.

"Heard that." Billy said through gritted teeth as he stood up, holstered his gun and clipped it to his pants.

"Here, get on my back. I'll help you over. I don't want you making that wound of yours any worse."

"Yeah, okay. Don't do anything too fancy." He told her as he climbed on her back.

"Heh, don't worry. I'll go easy on you. Just tuck your legs so they don't drag or anything. You're still a good five inches taller than me." Billy obeyed and Liana jumped over the pillar and landed at the entrance. Billy got off his friend and let her jump back over. Billy looked down and saw a stone tablet that had Latin writings on the back and on the front it had a carving of a knight with the word "Unity" etched into it.

"What's this 'Unity' thing?" Billy asked.

"There are three tablets: obedience, discipline, and unity. I read about where to use them. It's in the observatory through the knight door in the centipede room. I think it lowers the observatory down so we can use the bridge below."

"Is that around the area you woke up?"

"Yeah."

"Doesn't that mean we can take a shortcut, via you?"

"True, but I want to investigate more about what's going on, don't you?"

"Yeah and since Rebecca's the cop, I bet she'd want to know too." A moment later, Liana jumped back over with Rebecca in her arms, the MP5 and shotgun over her shoulders, and its extra ammo in her pocket.

"So where we gonna go?" Billy asked.

"Where I went when you guys came in here." She answered as she led them to the safer room.

Has Rebecca lost her vest before this? I can't remember. Hey, this is the first time Billy said "fuck". Interesting…may many more F-bombs be dropped! Ha ha! I'll let you guys chew this one over for a week and then I'll post Chapter 10: Scars! Yey! Review!
