You mean playing with women!
Jayson swallowed his disgust and forced something resembling a smile. “Sorry, Fred. My teammate Randy’s injured-the wound’s infected. I was hoping the healer could take a look.”

“What’s wrong?”
Clay saw the look on his face and patted his shoulder. “Randy’s wound not doing well?”
Jayson studied him.
Clay was arguably the only halfway-decent person in Brandon’s inner circle.
“Yeah. Got any antibiotics? Or surgical tools? The wound’s inflamed. Serious. Needs treatment fast”
“It was only yesterday. Already this bad?”
Clay led him toward the supply truck. “Come on. I’ll get you something.”
“Mm.”

At the back of the truck, Clay checked that nobody was within earshot. Then, he handed over the medicine and dropped his voice to barely a breath. “There’ll be a chance to run in the next couple of days. When it comes, take your people and head for Sanctum City.”
“You-”

For the first time in weeks, he saw a way out.
“That’s all the medicine we have! Take it or leave it!”
Clay raised his voice deliberately and shoved Jayson hard enough to make him stumble.
Jayson understood why. He grabbed the medicine and ran.
Randy had to recover.
Then, all three of them could escape together.
From a distance, Fred watched the exchange and spat. “Useless trash.”
Click.
The RV door swung open behind him.
Brandon stepped out-shirtless, cigarette dangling from his lips.
He wasn’t handsome, but his physique was impressive-tall, heavily muscled.
Fred spun around, bowing and scraping. “Boss! Need anything? I’ll have it brought right over!”

“No.”
Brandon’s face was stormy. “Arnold came back today with news. The crystal news is everywhere now.”
“What?”
Fred was baffled. “That was supposed to be secret. How did it leak?”
“Sanctum City’s military. They announced it.”

“Uh…”
Fred froze for a second, not knowing what to say.
First, they were going to Sanctum. Then, Brandon rerouted them to Pryndale.
So, they had no choice but to change course, and they’d only just left Pryndale.
