Defiance | Book 1 [EXTENDED]

CHAPTER 60

We made our way back to base. I opened the door and was immediately hit by the smell of food, " what the Hell? Food?" I say confused, walking in.

Demi sat at the table with Logan and Will and they beckoned to us as we walked in, "Well, you won't believe it but someone left food at our door. Oh and I pocketed thus note before anyone could read it, it's for you, Alex," Will whispers as I sit next to him. I opened the envelope with my name on it,

Remember, we're on your side.

(P.S. the food isn't poisoned)

Love,

Your friends

Connor and Simon. Of course.

"So you're just eating mysterious food you found at the door?" I ask looking at the table behind me, where a cooked chicken, probably genetically made, lay dead.

"If it's edible I'll eat it. It was raw when it came and Cal plucked it and cooked it," Logan says giving me a plate. I took a little bit of it and smelt it. It didn't smell spiked. And why would they kill us, they needed us.

"So where were you two?" Demi asked,

"We went...to get some air," Max said before I could stop him. Will looked at me, " I thought you didn't want to?"

"I...I napped and then I felt nauseous so I went to find you and Max just happened to be there" I say trying to sound genuine,

"Yeah," Max said shoving a forkful of chicken in his mouth,

I could tell Will didn't believe me but he didn't say anything.

"You were gone for two and a half hours," Demi dragged on,

I didn't say anything and neither than Max, he just glanced at me and smiled and I couldn't help smiling back. I felt bad, for going behind Will's back, but I couldn't stop it from eventually happening. 

What could I do? Wee're all going to die anyway? Especially without a plan. Tomorrow. Max promised. I was scared and so was everyone else, should I tell them about Connor and Simon? Maybe.
