I set a snail’s pace that was maybe a mile or so an hour.I started my breathing exercises and started to visualize the fight, going over how I wante... to the fight to go. I was probing the edges of the box that held the dark place to try and get a feel for it. I could feel that it wanted to be let out. In either go around, I’d never let it completely free, only getting introspective about it. A phrase that I’d heard or many times surprisingly came back to me. I weirdly remembered who wrote. I should be more upset, since I had planned to spend most of the day with Sam, but I can't be mad at Jaime. She and I are co-captains of the cheerleading squad, so if something needs to be done, we're usually the ones to do it. Today was no different. When I woke up, my cell buzzed with Jaime messaging me to meet her at our high school's gym. Thankfully the school is only about five minutes away, plus I get to spend time with the person I have a small crush on.Jaime is 5 foot 11, wiry and. Even if that happened, it would be the local cops who found us. It wouldn't be the cops who might be on Estavante's payroll.I did not steal a car, instead I bought one from a man on Craig's list. We paid three thousand dollars cash for the car. The Caddy SUV went into a $100 a month storage locker, which we paid three months in advance on. If the war wasn't over in three months, neither of us would have any use for the Caddy.The guy we bought it from, delivered the econo-box to the storage. Though Luke had offered to help, he was just underfoot there. The Jaegers were kind, but direct in stating that his help was not required. He offered to bring them some food, as it was late and would soon be the early hours of the morning. They had accepted that as the one thing he could do, and he had now arrived with their orders.“Hey Karla,” Luke said as he pulled the van up behind her.“Ah! Good timing, Luke! I could use a coffee right about now,” she replied, shivering.“You OK?” he asked,.
