Chapter 9: Ben
I'm terrified. I've lost my only family member I have, to a boy. Its a humiliating thought. And I suspect that Juliet has something to do with it. I head over to the Flame. "Mikhail, I'm approaching the station!" I shout, then mutter. "So don't shoot me." Mikhail comes out. "Ben, what are you doing here?" "Mikhail, I just need a few minutes. Where are the files on the 815 passengers?" "On the table in the dining room." I head inside the Flame, and find the stacks of file folders. There are 2 stacks of files, "Alive", and "Deceased." I sort through the Alive pile, and finally in frustration, I jam all of them in my bag. Mikhail comes in. "What are you doing, Ben?" "I'm just going to borrow these for a few days. It won't take long. He nods. "Yes Ben." I leave, and as I'm walking through the jungle, I pull out my walkie, and call Bonnie in the Looking Glass. "Ben?" "Bonnie, hi. How are thing s down there?" "Calm, as glass." "A looking glass?" "Yes Ben a looking glass. Very funny. How are things up above?" "Alex and Karl are missing." She gasps. "What?! Together, do you think?" "Bonnie, I thought I only hire smart people. I stand corrected." "Sorry Ben, I'm just tired. Over and out."
