After watching Rebecca run away, my first instinct was to go after her.
I even took a step toward the stairs before stopping myself.
What was I supposed to say without Rachel there?
Rebecca had not only found out about me. She had found out about Rachel too. If I chased after her alone, I would only make things worse. She would think I was trying to explain everything away before Rachel could speak for herself.
No.
Rachel needed to be there.
So instead of going downstairs, I headed up, in the last floor of the hotel.
Everyone knew she was staying there now.
Nobody was pretending otherwise.
But that did not mean people were comfortable with it.
Kunta looked young. Maybe early to mid-teens at most. But her alien features made people uneasy.
After what happened in Jackson Township and what Zakthar had done, many people still associated Kunta with him.
Most survivors stayed away from her.
