“Hold your position. I’m coming Hayley said.

On her way out, she called Laurel and Felix along with her, questioning them in detail about their old outer camp.

“Who was in charge out there?”

“Kieran.”

“His full name’s Kieran Poe. He’s in his fifties,” Felix said. “From what we heard, he was one of the first people to settle in the outer camp. He’s had the most contact with the inner camp and knows the canyon better than anyone. People trust him, so be became the leader.

“If anything important comes up, everyone goes to him. He’s fair and handles things well. He’s just kind of rigid. He sticks to the rules no matter what. Sometimes, we avoid him because of that.”

But if you stayed in a safe little bubble for too long, sooner or later, you would want to see what was beyond in

After hearing all that, Hayley asked. “Does Kieran have any family?”

“Yeah.” Laurel said quickly. “He’s got a grandson named Hugo Poe. The kid’s not all there And ag She got selected into the inner camp”

“Selected?” Hayley narrowed her eyes. “You mean the rent you mentione
