Chapter 34-2

"Honestly, you were smart to do that. So we wouldn't be distracted." Bree drawled in from under Jason's arm, rubbing at her temples, "Thanks though, Alec." her last words were full of sarcasm.

He held his hands up in surrender, "Sorry! But it's already after 5 o'clock so I figured you guys would be packing up soon."

"Who else is going?" Leo asked Alec.

"There's probably only a handful of guys not going. Even the nerd-smart kids want the experience. You guys in?"

Marley chewed on her lower lip thoughtfully. The idea of being surrounded by strangers in a foreign city wasn't a comforting one at all.

"What about the councillors? There's no way they'd let us all go." Bree made a good point, and one that Marley hoped would be enough to stop the planning.

"Oh, they'll be...occupied. Don't worry about them."

Marley's head shot up, "What do you mean, occupied?" She challenged.
