However surprised Keaton was at Natalie’s statement, Lynn was all that and more, and Keaton quickly backed up when the temperature started rising. Though she had a working theory that Lynn cared about the people around her despite her words pointing to the contrary, she didn’t put it past the girl to blow up again. She’d done it once, and—considering her temper—she could do it again.

Thankfully, Lynn managed to rein herself. How, Keaton wasn’t sure, but she wasn’t about to question it either. Her tone spooked Keaton since though they came from the thin girl who’d just been in the hospital for a week, said girl had blown up a cafeteria without taking too much of a long-term dent. Still, the prospect of sticking around and finding out how fast the police were compared to the killer wasn’t appealing in the slightest. At best, the killer had no ties to the staff other than an urge to strap them to chairs and beat the living hell out of them; at worst, she had access to information, which would explain her confidence in her ability to move around in the system and pull off murder. Keaton needed no gut feeling to tell her that a killer operating somewhere like The Promise had something up their sleeves, and she wasn’t looking to find out what that something was.

After sparing another glance at Natalie and the boy who’d sided with her, Keaton followed after Lynn’s surprisingly fast pace. Leaving the scene was the correct choice, as she was currently telling herself. Worst-case scenario, she gets brought in as a suspect because she walked away from a crime scene, and the police somehow end up twisting her arm into a confession. But, on a ship with so many superpowers, Keaton figured the chance that the staff hadn’t employed at least one mind-reader was slim to none, so if they still ended up convicting her despite her being innocent, she probably wasn’t going to last long on the ship anyway. Best-case, though, walking away meant she was getting herself out of the picture altogether, and this was the scenario she chose to focus on, hoping that forcing herself to dwell on the possible upsides would help calm her down. One week ago, her biggest problem was settling in on The Promise, but now it was trying not to get herself put on some likely-superpowered killer’s hit list.
