“Shut up,” Jasper said coldly. “What’s the point of saying all that?”

Lucas shot him a glare. “And staying quiet would help?”

Jasper didn’t bother answering.

The little boy curled up beside Noelle, sitting quietly. He didn’t speak. Now and then, he would lift his head to look at them, then lower it again.

But when he heard the words “nameless island“, his eyes flickered in the firelight.

The fish in Noelle’s hand was done. It smelled rich and good.

She noticed the boy watching and held the fish out to him. “Want some?”

The boy stared at it. His throat moved slightly.

But he didn’t take it.

Noelle nudged it closer. “Just grilled. No bones.”

He hesitated, then reached out and took it.

He looked at the fish for a few seconds. Then he began to eat, taking small bites.

Slow. Careful.

Like he was tasting something precious.

Noelle picked up another fish and kept grilling.

Lucas watched from the side and clicked his tongue. “Wow. Noey’s really nice to this kid. I’ve known her for years, and I’ve never had fish she cooked for me.”

Jasper glanced at him. “You’re jealous of a kid?”

“Yeah, I am,” Lucas said, without shame. “So what?”

The boy looked up at Lucas.

His eyes were calm. No emotion.

But for some reason, Lucas felt a chill run down his spine.

Something about this kid felt off.

Alright, alright. You eat. I’ll shut up, Lucas uttered.

The boy looked away and kept eating.

The firelight danced across his face. His small features looked soft and gentle.

Noelle watched him. She remembered the way his eyes had flickered earlier.

This kid…

She made a mental note but said nothing.

After finishing the fish, the boy looked up at her.

The firelight reflected in his eyes, making them shine.

Noelle noticed. She turned to him. “Want more?”

He shook his head.

He just kept looking at her, unmoving.

Noelle didn’t ask anything else. She kept grilling.

After a while, she felt something touch her hand.

She looked down.

It was the boy’s hand.

At some point, he had moved closer. His small fingers lightly touched hers, like he was testing something.

Noelle paused.

The boy quickly pulled his hand back and lowered his head, like he had done something wrong.

Noelle said nothing.

She reached out and gently held his hand.

The boy froze. He looked up at her.

Something flickered in his eyes.

Noelle smiled at him, then let go and went back to grilling.

The boy lowered his head again and stayed still.

After a long time, he lifted that hand–the one she had held–and pressed it softly against his chest.

It still felt warm.

He blinked.

here seemed to be a bit of moisture on his lashes.

Two or three days later, they couldn’t stay at sea any longer.

They docked behind a stretch of rocks and prepared to go ashore to check the area.

Noelle brought the boy with them. There was no choice. This place was completely empty. Nowhere to send him.

Following them was dangerous.

But leaving him alone at sea would mean certain death.

They could only hope they wouldn’t run into the insepectors.

But the moment the four of them stepped onto the beach-

“Stop.”

A cold voice came from behind the rocks.

At once, over a dozen men in black rushed out from all directions. Their faces were covered. Guns were raised. All aimed at them.

Lucas froze.

Jasper’s pupils shrank.

Inspectors.

Noelle quietly stepped back, shielding the boy behind her
