“Hold on to the anger, little sister.”While I hold on to the fear.
They found the place Zander had grabbed them, and Jack found the bullet hole in the tree.
“He was firing at me,” Ava said. “And he told Piper to stop or he’d shoot her.”
Dylan’s stomach dropped. She wouldn’t die. He couldn’t let that happen, not now. He loved her, and he needed to tell her that even if she never forgave him.
“Blood.” Luke dropped to his knees.
“It’s from Buzz. Z-Zander cut him, but it’s not bad.”
Fin examined the scene, as did the Trainers, looking for clues as to what direction to take.
“You bastards don’t follow orders is my guess.”
Cubby Hawker crashed through the trees wearing a backpack.
“No time,” Dylan said.
“This way.” Fin pushed aside some branches, and soon they were moving again.
They heard the helicopter then, and Dylan knew that would scare Zander, because it would signal they were hunting him.
Piper moved asslow as she could, but every time she stumbled or tried to stop, Zander jabbed her in the back with his gun.

She heard the shock in his words, but didn’t turn. He might see the fear then, and Piper wasn’t giving him that.
“Dylan knows everything. You messed up, Zander... if that’s even your name.”
“No! I never mess up. We planned everything perfectly.”
“Doesn’t look perfect from where I’m standing. Dylan said something about rerouting and a place in Queens.”
“No! I didn’t make a mistake.”
“Yeah, you did. So maybe you’re not quite as switched on as that sick bastard you call a father.”
“Shut up!”
“That your next thing, torturing and murdering women?”
“He didn’t do that, he’s innocent!”
“Oh come on, Zander. Do you really believe all those FBI people and the months they spent on your father’s case could get it so wrong? You need to wise up.”
