"Callu to kill all the humans in the cities"

My eyes widened as Wren relayed Micah’s insane "we’re more evolved" plan Visions of h my brain

"He could just free all the Reboots and leave," I said when she finished, though I could tell by the look on her face that Micah wasn’t that rational

"I told hi at the dirt "He said it wasn’t wrong to kill the humans because they’d kill us if they had the chance That’s what he toldthose unarht? That’s veryto do?"

"Yes" I stepped forward, putting ht she was about that, how"That is very o then I don’t want anything to do with this"

I droppedone down my face There was no way I could leave now, even if all the Austin Reboots agreed to come with us I couldn’t leave my parents and brother and all the humans I ever knew to die

"We just dropped a hundred more Reboots in their laps," I said slowly "If we leave, all those huether "Maybe not The humans won before"

"HARC trained us in coh "This isn’t like before"

"I care," I said quietly

Her face shifted into the emotionless stare she did when she didn’t want , and I tried to replicate it I didn’t want her to knoas disappointed she didn’t care I wished her first instinct was to help, not to run

I tried to push the feeling away I couldn’t totally bla to jump back into a hen she’d just risked her life several times to save me

"What do you want to do?" she asked a bit nervously

I stepped closer to her, lowering h to find out how many Reboots will help us Most of the people fro to have faet word to the rebels about what Micah is planning And then, when it looks like the tio to the cities"

She blinked "To help the humans"

"And free the rest of the Reboots That was the rebels’ plan anyway, to get theo back to the cities, rescue all the Reboots, and save the humans"

It sounded kind of hard when she put it like that I winced "Yes"

"I’ll get right on that," she said dryly
