He and Jade had prepared for this He would have to teach Tulip to protect herself because he wasn’t going to let anything happen to her

She didn’t exactly have any experience with a gun Nope, she only kne to use a knife, her fists, and a mean kick

“How do you think they found us?” Jade asked as they went deeper into the forest but stopped behind soe to take cover

“I was too exposed nize them?”

“Not a chance Their masks cover their faces I don’t knoho they are or what they want”

“Fuck!”
