Langston liftsis up withI’ve already done, not so to do

If he didn’t already hateto each other, if we loved each other, then maybe we could survive my betrayal, especially once he realizes that I only did it to get the treasure and protect Atlas

But we don’t love each other We never will Our e will end with my betrayal

I force ently on the lips before I cli h the aisle back to a still sleeping Maxwell His chest rises and falls, so I know he’s still alive

Langston gets dressed beside me as well

“What’s the plan?” I ask

“It’s dark, so we should head to a hotel to sleep for the night Too in search of the next clue”

I nod

He gets up and walks to the back to wake Maxwell He says so, and Maxwell pops up

Langston gathers a few things in the back before walking back to un in his hand that he holds out to me I take it and tuck it into the back of my shorts

Langston nods his approval

“Follow ”

I stand and follow hih the aisle and out of the plane As I walk, I hear footsteps behind me

“Are you feeling better, Max?” I ask, without turning my head

“Good as new”
