    Summary

    I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.

    There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.

    That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.

    Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.

    Summary

    “I've seen that face before. It’s the face of someone who can’t see a way through anymore.”
    It hurt to say, and based on Robby’s expression, it hurt to hear. Jack watched as his friend’s face filtered through an array of emotions, everything from hurt to offended to angry to defeated.
    “I’ve seen it before. I’ve felt it before. And I can’t walk away from it, Robby. I can’t walk away from you. Please don’t ask me to.”

    or

    Jack devised a plan to prevent Robby from leaving -- blowing up the motorcycle was his first choice, having a heart-to-heart was his second.
