Minor reached me and ushered me back to the others, and we backed as far away from the fighting as we could.
Yeah, good call, Minor.
The moment I saw Lisa, I asked her, “Should I-” I left my question unfinished. Should I use my bugs?
I don’t think it’s worth it.
“No. The moment an enemy makes their presence known, Skidmark might try to break this up and send the crowd after any unfamiliar faces. Not saying they’d get us, but they could, and there’d be other victims too.”
That is a very good point.
“Fuck.” I looked at the ongoing fighting. “We should do something.”
It’s okay, Taylor. Most of these people are here by choice, and besides, at least you already saved one person.
“I’m open to ideas,” she said.
Oh, huh.
“Can we- can’t we run?” the girl we’d rescued asked.
I think she has a point, though Taylor might not want to hear it, especially coming from her – Taylor really doesn’t want to be a bystander who runs away instead of helping.
“Look, um, what’s your name?” Lisa said.
Yes, please. It’s been a bit awkward to call her the “rescued girl” all the time.
“Charlotte.”
Did the merchant who abducted you insist on calling you “P-chan”?
