The pro is that it’s going to be hard to track us, the con is that everything wicked lives on the route we’re taking. You need to be as emotionally numb as possible.”
“Meaning what? Don’t feel anything?”
“Don’t feel. Don’t think. Don’t be. You’re not $name when you enter. You’re as insignificant as a piece of floating dust.”
“Is that even possible?”
“No, and yes. If you had any experience, then probably. I’m not a powerful empath, but I can at least warn you and try to transfer anything you’re feeling to myself, which I can easily eliminate. Just stay close to me at all times. Though do that regardless, we don’t want to be singled out.” I nod, wondering if all this was possible with the way my body was beginning to act.
“Later today, we need to recon the area and -,” Rahim starts to say as someone pounds on the front door. I do a quick headcount, seeing that everyone was here besides Jeff and Faye. If I had to bet, it was Jeff.
“I’m going to guess it’s Jeff,” Bradley says, leaning forward as Rahim goes to answer it. Instead of a drunken older man, we watch as Rahim opens the door and a young, familiar woman charges in, straight into an unprepared Rahim.
“Amarante?” he questions, steadying her and pulling her in for a tight hug.
