"Better than yesterday," Kennedy said, wiping the sweat from Alby's brow. He wrinkled his nose and shifted, but stayed still for the most part. His sleep had seemed more peaceful. "I think that stuff might have worked... I guess we'll have to wait."
Gally's face scrunched up in a grimace but she ignored it. There was no secret in his distaste for Kennedy's decision to inject their mystery serum into Alby's blood — as much as he still trusted the she-bean (despite her going against every piece of advice that he'd given her, in not wanting to trust Thomas), he wasn't the only one who feared killing their leader off. Sure, he was already dying from the changing, but Gally would rather Alby die from that sting than die from something that they did to him.
Something Thomas had done, again, he believed.
"Do ya really think that shank should be out there?" Unable to stop himself, Gally huffed. "You honestly think that's a good idea?"
Kennedy pursed her lips. To say she hadn't expected Gally to stop by, to try to convince her to change her mind, would've been a lie. In fact, she had been counting down the hours that morning until he finally got over the silence treatment he had been giving her since making Thomas a runner — it hadn't taken long for him to enter the med-jack hut, and even less time to start his mission: to get Thomas demoted, immediately.
