June looked between them in amusement and eventually chose to settle on looking at Clay's face instead,it was the better of the two faces after all.She watched as Clay grimaced while watching The mute get taken away."You should be glad and not worried,if you hadn't done your best like you did,you would have been the one getting carried out and the rest of our team would be without a head",She told Clay who slowly turned to look at her, taking her eyes off the cage and what was being done around it.They smiled at each other softly."I heard you call out my name severally",Clay told her with a grin as she walked a bit closer to her.June shook her head and then shrugged."You probably heard wrong",She answered, staring right at Clay who only smiled wider.Clay's smile was setting June off so she turned to glare harder at Clay."And you...I felt you looking at me several times. Why were you also staring at me?",She questioned rashly out of a necessity to say something when she could n

June's voice was carrying louder and more violent now and even though the others had said nothing,they felt the same way she felt about being here so they let her be and only looked on as she kept talking."I don't want to remain here any longer!",She mentioned as she eyed Vasquez skeptically and hissed in his face.Clay knew that there was something going on here that she and June were not aware of.First of all,she had noticed how they were less violent towards each other.She had briefly Wondered if the fighting had gotten rid of whatever ill feelings that had risen up within them but then she had realized that if indeed that was what had happened, then Vasquez would be too busy licking his wounds and would not be here trying to have a discussion with them.So,this new found understanding between them had nothing to do with the fighting,it was something entirely different, something about the Gamemaster like Saul had mentioned earlier."Clay?",June called out aloud, jarring Clay fr

The pain on Clay's face was palpable and the silence that ensued after her demand was mostly as a result of how much fear they had all felt from her question.Vasquez stared deep in to her eyes or tried to.He could not seem to look her in the eyes and any time he tried to do so,be found himself taking his eyes off immediately.For some reason, he felt that a lot depended on the answer he was going to give and he felt terrible because he knew that he could not give her a good answer which was why he was keeping quiet.She shook him, reminding him that she was still holding him up by his collar which was quite shocking in its own but no one had the time or willfulness to notice that a girl was basically holding up like he was a piece of paper.The tears trickled down her eyes and strangely enough the rest of her face remained quite serious as she spoke again,her voice lilting."Answer me, Vasquez !",She muttered, grunting after."Say something !",She demanded and before giving him a ch

"So, basically what you are trying to say is that , if the Gamemaster comes to know that we know of his existence , he will come after us?"Everyone exchanged looks while Clay laughed her heart out.She was laughing even louder than before and only stopped briefly when she noticed June staring at her quite skeptically.June frowned at her as she stopped her laughter."Don't you see?",She asked June who only frowned more."The Gamemaster,June. The Gamemaster gets to do his job while we just lead him through it",She explained with a wide smile.Clay laughed again as soon as she was done speaking.June suddenly jumped out of her seat and screamed when she finally took her mind off Clay and her incessant laughing and actually thought about the situation at hand." Holy shit!",She muttered,her eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree on the eve of Christmas day.Saul also understood what Clay was getting at but he could not afford himself the luxury of celebrating immediately so he instead b

"I can explain but first you need to sit down because it is a story that makes you very light-headed ",Clay explained to him, nodding towards him so that he understood that she was offering this as courtesy since he obviously was the only one that could be light headed.Juan stared at her for a few seconds before he made some noise under his breath and moved back to the bed where he sat tentatively like he wanted to be ready to run out of the room at any moment.Clay nodded in appreciation of him listening to her words,she then got herself comfortable to speak to him when she realized something.The white haired kid was still here.She could not continue now so Clay looked over at Vasquez,wanting to signal for him to send the boy away,she did not want to have to say it out.But the flickering light was terrible and it took her a while to even locate Vasquez before she could begin to signal what she was going to say.It did not help that Vasquez kept squinting at her like she was an un
