Cassie looked to Serix when he said they should go now so they could get back sooner. She could somehow tell just by looking at him that he didn’t seem too keen on getting the weapons to use against his people and she could understand that. If the roles were reversed and she had to go get weapons to use against other humans she wouldn’t be comfortable with it either. But she would understand, just as he was understanding right now, that it was for their protection. 

“Okay. Let’s hurry up and get these things so we can get back before those Scouts can try and get a hold of us.” Walking out of the empty storage room, she went to grab her back pack from the bedroom once more and made sure she had the Silencer on her hip, “The weapons store is a few streets over, so keep an eye and ear out for any of the Scouts.” 

Turning to him, she walked over to him, giving him a serious look, “And be careful. Please. You may be able to fight, but two or more of them might be able to take you out. Let’s just do our best to stay hidden.”

 She sighed and made her way down the hallway with him and up the stairs, unlatching and pushing the metal door open for the two of them. One they were out, she locked it and hid it under the rug once more, hiding the key again before the two of them made their way quietly from the back of the building and to the front entrance, peaking her head out. So far, everything looked clear and so the two of them quickly made their way out walking swiftly and silently down the streets, hiding behind different things and such. 

So far, thing seemed to be going really well. They were getting closer and closer to their destination, and just when they were one street ahead, Cassie froze, standing on the side of the street, hearing footsteps quickly heading toward where she and Serix were. She began looking around, trying to spot a good and quick place to hide, when she felt a hand grasp her arm. Next thing she knew, Serix was tugging her toward an old trailer, hitched to the back of a truck. 

It was when he was opening it that she realized just how small it was and suddenly, her heart was racing and her body trembling at the thought of going into such a place. Her feet were planted on the ramp of the trailer, unmoving as he tried to tug her forward, her eyes meeting his, her gaze wide and panicked as she shook her head, trying to signal to him that she couldn’t go in there. She just couldn’t. It was too much for her. It was like a bad memory coming back to haunt her and she wasn’t going to go in willingly.
