"Why would you hurt Chase like that?" Skye asked in a concerned voice. "Why are you jumping to conclusions? I didn't hurt him. If I really wanted to, I would have. Besides, he landed one on me first, I was just defending myself. And I also believe that I'm the one who is bleeding." Shadow replied. "Well you were still mean." She said back. "Ok, I'm gonna be honest with you, if I wasn't 'mean' in my life, I wouldn't be alive today." Shadow retorted. "Well this has certainly been intriguing meeting you two." Ryder said. "Certainly has, just remember our warning to you," Shadow said, "If we see any of you again around our camp, you won't see them for a while." He paused and then turned to Chase, "And if I see you hangin around by us, I'll drop a few rounds from a 30-odd-6 down your throat." The two then got back into the Urus and headed back over the bridge and into the town. "Dude, your such a badass sometimes." Trevor said smiling "He swung first, I just finished it." Shadow said. "Bet you scared the shit out of him though." Trevor replied, "Oh hell yeah I did, you should have seen his face when I had him pinned down." Shadow said back, "I don't know why, but I feel like I feed off the terror of an enemy when I have them in a spot where I can inflict massive amounts of pain to it." There was a brief pause in the conversation until Trevor asked, "Do you think Megan liked me?" Turning to his friend, Shadow said. "I honestly don't care. I've never had the feeling of compassion in my heart my entire life. Ever since my parents were killed, I've had to take care of myself. Deep down, we are all loners, lone wolves," Shadow smiled, admiring his pun. "Friends are just a temporary concealment for the dark void of loneliness that dwells inside all of us." The rest of the short trip was spent in silence, as Trevor thought of what his normally quiet friend had said. When they arrived back at the cabin, Trevor asked, "Do you think we'll see any of the patrol around here?" Shadow said, "I fully believe that we will, and I think it will most likely be Megan." Unknown to the duo, she had been with them the whole time.
