Kat spent a few days with Lex and Jim, enjoying the safety and comfort of a bed and food. Kat thought Lex was wonderful, she was fierce and rude and everything that a girl wasn't supposed to be. Except she was pretty and brave. Kat lay in her little nest of blankets, thinking about James, it had been a week since he had left, was he looking for her? Was he hurt? Kat decided that she would check in the last safe house that her and James had set, and if he wasn't there she would return to the forest to wait for him. 

Suddenly Jim tapped her on her shoulder. He invited Kat for a walk and then climbed out the door onto the street. Kat quickly grabbed her satchel and rifle, and climbed up after him. Kat hung back slightly behind Jim as they walked in silence for a few minutes, both of them cautious and nervou of the mutants that could be lurking around.
