Meanwhile, back at the compound…
Two of the survivors of the incident several chapters earlier were busy fixing up the place, trying to get the blood out of the carpet, etc.
"Well, things have certainly become complicated…"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well… first, you had those goons that showed out of the blue and absolutely kicked our asses, and then we now know that there are several groups running around that are gunning towards roughly the same conclusions we're trying to reach, but beyond that, we have no idea what they're up to."
"Yeah, things sure are getting a little bit weird… but hey, there was some progress in the relationship."
"Relationship…?"
"Yeah, you know, the one between those two girls we're trying to deep-six. It's actually rather charming and cute. Nadie almost said 'I love you' earlier! Ain't that just adorable!"
"…you've been reading too many romance stories."
"Wh-wh-what?!"
"Yeah, yeah, fact of the matter is, no matter how cute they are, we're still trying to kill them."
"…true. But wouldn't be nice if that wasn't the case?"
"You know what?"
"What?"
"Shut up and get back to work."
"Awww…."
And I thought I could have made him join the NadiexEllis club also! What a disappointment… oh, well, I guess I'll try some of the other guys….
Incredibly short segment, I know. But all it is is basically a summation of what's up to this point. I will try to get at least one or two chapters in tomorrow, and hopefully be finished by the end of the month.
Thank you to those who have read this far, and I hope you'll continue reading.
