They came from an angle that wanted to be invisible, a seam in the smoke where a car could slip through and vanish. For a half-second I thought about taking the shot but discarded the idea, knowing I wasn't getting them.

Their car was faster than mine. So, I didn't try to use mine. I ran off to a power bike resting on the ground close by. One of the men had been trying to escape on it when my bullet met him.

I moved the bike away from its dead owner, thumbed the kick-start, and the engine licked awake with an eager snarl.

I heard someone yell my name. Probably Miles or Eric. There was no time to look back. Voices were now a tide I didn't bother to surf.

I kept the throttle open, going after Blayne.

'Move faster!'

'He's getting away!'

'We'll make it worth the while!'

I let my companions do the talking while I handled the driving. Blayne was moving at a crazy speed, but the bike was crazier, and in no time, I'd covered a lot of distance between us.

Then they decided to come at me with b

    RALIIt was too cold.Not the kind of cold that wind makes, but the kind that blooms under the skin, bone-deep, as if the body knows it doesn't belong anywhere.I had a sweatshirt on, the one I'd stolen from some stranger's backyard. But it felt thin as air. I folded myself smaller in the corner, my arms hugging my ribs, my eyes scanning the crowd for a weak link. Someone careless enough to lose a wallet.Fifteen minutes later, I had one. It pressed heavy against my pocket as I walked out of the local restaurant. The owner didn't notice me take it. Hopefully, no one did.I found my way to the busy train station, hating the brush of shoulders, the jostle of arms. Maybe it was because I stank terribly, or perhaps, I saw everyone as the ghosts of the ones I'd lost.Dead.The cleaner was dead.Claudia was dead.The other one was shot in the head.Josephine was shot in the chest and ribs. Dead."Hello, ma'am?" A tap on the counter startled me. "There's a queue behind you, please. Can I

    The words reached me but the meaning didn't.I reached for the hilt of the blade, pulled it out, and made to stab him in the second hip."Man, can you hear me? I didn't kill Rali. Please. Please!"Rali.My hand stilled.Something clicked in my head as the name slotted home, turning a lock where I kept the hard things.Rali.My gaze climbed from his hip to his face, searching for the words he'd just spoken.I didn't kill Rali."What did you say?""I didn't fucking kill her, man! You really thought I'd kill someone as valuable as her? Fucking no. She's alive! And I can help you find her. You need me to do that. So, please, don't kill me. Don't kill me. Please."The world blurred to a salt-white storm, and then, like subtitles, the sentence walked across his face.I didn't kill Rali.She's alive.I could read it. I could hear it. Belief was the only thing limping.Inside my skull, the voices went quiet. For the first time since my eyes opened, I couldn't hear them; just the flowery laugh

    BLAYNE"The boys are still searching, but so far, there's been no progress."I poured some wine into my glass, the quantity a little more than was required. I drank clumsily and the wine sluiced over the lip, running down my white turtleneck."Damn it!" I hurled the bottle at the wall and the last of the wine fanned out and stippled the paint.My fingers dug through my hair as I turned around to face the bunch of losers that had the nerves to breathe in the room with me."And you're here because? I thought I gave strict instructions not to return until she's found?" God, I was trying. Trying so fucking hard not to lose it and grab the gun that had been itching for attention."We're sorry. I promise you, we searched all night. We really don't understand how she managed to get past us."I turned to the window and let the laugh happen, raking my fingers through the mess on my head."So, you're telling me my girl suddenly vanished into thin air?"I tucked my hands in my pant pocket as

    For the first time, I got to understand what it meant to 'lose track of time.'Because I did.I couldn't tell you how long I'd been buried under that tile. Hours? Days? Only that when the church finally quieted, I knew it had been long enough. I even felt the instant the church emptied, indicating the men were out.The hole had been a safe space. Another set of people had come into this very room after the first ones left. They searched again, turned over tables and ended up with nothing."I don't think she's in the building. She might've gotten away before we arrived," one of them had grunted before they left.I knew it was safe to come out now, but I couldn't find the spine for it. It was too dark, and the air out there must be thick with blood and the coppery rot of bodies.Josephine. The thought pressed like a fist against my ribs. Where could she be? She must've gotten a good place to hide, or better still, found a way to leave the church.I was so suddenly grateful she wasn't th

    The night took our side, drawing the blinds across the sky, and as if the world had taken our side, we came across an isolated abandoned church.We stopped running, everyone panting like we'd run the year out of the calendar."I don't know about y'all, but I think I'm hiding in there. Can't run no more," one girl wheezed, bent double.No one disagreed. We made our way into the building through one of the broken windows and hoped the guards would run past it.The inside was dark. One of the girls suggested we check around for anything that could be of help, maybe an abandoned cellphone or something. That was hard to do, considering the darkness, but we managed. In the end, nothing."We should spread out and hide. Give it some time. When we sure the guards must've passed through, we'll keep—"Gunfire cut her words in half. Windows shattered, glass raining down in furious applause. We dropped to the floor while covering our ears as the holy place choked on bullets.They found us. Even th
