I iine it’s been quite a day for the Resistance Obi’s not just running freedoee caanization as stealthy as possible

I haveto be , but I have to admit, he’s taken on a lot that no one else would

I consider going deeper into the building to try to see if I can find Doc or Dee-Dum The twins are sure to knohere Doc is But it’s too crowded and chaotic in here, and I don’t like the idea of being trapped in thehappens

I’uards nize, and I can’t tell who said it since no one is looking attheir own conversations

Then someone else says my na at us

‘Penryn’

I see the guy who spoke He has curly hair and wears a huge shirt that hangs on his scarecrow shoulders and a pair of oversized pants held up by a cinched belt It’s as if he’s used to being extra large and hasn’t ht He’s several people away froh to hear I don’t recognize hi to the guy ‘What kind of na about n naht So do you believe it?’

‘What? That she killed an angel?’

How did they know about that?

He shrugs again ‘Don’t know’ He lowers his voice ‘All I know is that it would be aels’

The woman shakes her head ‘No ould they keep their word Hoould we even know if they’re really putting a bounty on her head?’

I exchange glances with Raffe at the word bounty

‘So up to kill her,’ she says ‘Maybe she’s one of their eneone crazy’

‘I know one thing,’ says another guy closer tocrack on one lens ‘Whether it was the angels or gangs or deonna be me who turns her in’ He shakes his head

‘Me neither,’ says another htmare on Alcatraz’

‘Obadiah West saved us,’ says the woman ‘And so did those funny twins What were their naht’

‘I kid you not’

‘Yeah, but it was the girl Penryn who told theot them to rescue us’

‘I heard she threatened to sic her monster sister on them if they didn’t’

‘Penryn--’

‘She’s a friend of mine,’ says one woman I’ve never seen before ‘We’re like sisters’

I lower nizes me Luckily, no one even notices us As I make my way toward the door, I see a flyer taped to it The only thing I catch as I pass are the words ‘Talent Show’

I have visions of amateur tuba players and tap dancers A talent show is an odd thing to have during the apocalypse But then again, it’s an odd thing to have at any tih the door, and we head back into the night
