“We came here for an errand,” Lisa answered her, “Up to ‘locker girl’ here to decide if you can tag along.”

Good. I don’t think Taylor would appreciate if you made that decision for her.

“You can’t- you can’t leave me here,” the girl said, eyes widening.  She looked to me, pleading.

If she does come along, it becomes a question of whether they make a detour to the exit first. And even then, the exit is not actually safe for the girl, so the detour would end up with them going significantly outside the building, then coming back, which is a bit impractical and could cause them to lose track of Bryce. (Come to think of it, that’s probably what Jaw is doing, keeping track of Bryce while Brooks went to get Lisa & co.)

I guess maybe they could send the girl off to the exit with Minor (as much as she doesn’t like the girl right now, I think Taylor would object to sending her with Senegal, and Brooks is the one here who knows where Bryce is), while the rest of them go to rescue Bryce.

I sighed.  “She can come.”

“More dead weight,” Brooks frowned.

…alright, in this particular case, I’ll accept that assessment.
