" STOP! ".Clay stopped running as the stadium lights moved to focus solely on her , the crowd had stopped screaming .Since the light was now on Clay , she could not make out the faces of the crowd and had now become a piece of furniture to be scrutinized .Only the commentators voice filled the court ." HOLD UP , HOLD UP ! SAVIOR OF THE WEAK AND THE WOMEN . WE ARE AN ORGANIZED AND DISCIPLINED ESTABLISHMENT !! ".They were ?They did not exactly look so .Wait , where they going to end the fight ?Clay relaxed , grateful for their organization , she nodded at Truck whose features she could not make out as he was not in the light ." WE DO NOT LET PEOPLE JUST JUMP INTO GAUNTLETS THAT WERE NOT ORIGINALLY MADE FOR THEM OR DO WE ??! ".The crowd came back to life , screaming and cheering .Clay nodded in understanding , it made sense .It was what she expected from an organized establishment like them .She would have cheered too but there was already so much attention on her ." THE ON

Clay had learnt not to question certain things, especially when they were helpful to her , so she kept quiet and just observed .How they had somehow been able to get away from the arena with June's lack of even the smallest bit of a sense of direction and with Saul hunched over as low as a fucking turtle and she running ahead every two seconds to hold the kid from falling off Saul's back while also watching their back and making sure they were going in the right direction was one of those memories Clay never wanted to get back to .She had been sure that they might not make it out and had been pleasantly surprised when they had made it out .They had stopped to rest for a while after getting far enough from the Arena .Now , the noise from the Arena was nothing but a distant buzzing and a distant memory , just until you took a look at the boy on Saul's back and you were thrusted back into the distant memory .Clay stood while the others sat on the floor , the kid sprawled on the grou

They gathered all of their available food and sat on the altar to eat .They cleaned out the goblets with water and asked for forgiveness before using it to share the wine that June had opened quite unceremoniously , spilling most of it around in her attempt .After June had shared the wine , they made Saul wash his hands before splitting the rest of his roast chicken by four ways and then Clay handed out protein bars for them to munch on when they had finished eating .They ate quietly , Clay watched as June and Saul secretly watched Jared , they were probably filled with questions for the boy .As if he knew he was being watched , he lifted his head , he had a little protein bar stuck to the side of his face .June and Saul began to snigger loudly like that was the funniest thing that they had seen this year and the kid's eyes widened as he looked from one sniggering fool to the other in confusion .Clay pointed at the boy's face , trying to communicate what the problem was without

Clay and Jared stopped their chattering .They both turned to June who was sporting a beautifully forced smile while gritting her teeth ." Don't you guys want to explain what you're on about ? That would be the nice thing to do, no ?",She asked." Then we could all talk about nitro and gly- whatever together ".Clay and Jared nodded their heads , It was best to leave June unprovoked ." Okay , everyone gather around ",Clay announced.Clay went back and took the seat she had been using to read .She dragged it closer to the bed where June and Jared where already seated and Saul sat too , looking a little bleary-eyed ." So , yesterday I found chloroform in our emergency regeneration kits and it got me thinking ..."Clay stopped talking when she noticed June's raised hand , she took a deep sigh ." Yes , June ? ",She asked.She looked around at the others ." Some of us don't know what chloroform is ",she said with a shrug.That was plausible .Clay thought of the easiest way to descri

Saul took off and they immediate did the same.They all ran after Saul , their feet pounding loudly on the pavements of the otherwise quiet streets as they had decided to throw caution to the wind for the next few minutes.As they ran forward and got closer to the location the sound was coming from , the whirring from the golem grew louder .The golem sounded enraged and on a rampage of sorts .They all readied theirselves with one final move as they neared the spot they would stop at .Clay took a deep breath , Saul cracked his knuckles while Jared lagged behind , hoping to not be involved in the craziness of it all .Meanwhile , June had an extremely determined look on her face as she took out her guns whe they rounded the corners of the deserted street and came face to face with the golem .It stood in the middle of the street and had successfully destroyed about half of the houses on the street , it had been looking at the spot they now stood even before they had stood there , alm
