Reaching China

For the most part, the remainder of the trip toward China was uneventful as everyone conversed and rested. There were a few questions about how they would sneak into a country whose borders were all closed and being guarded closely, but Alex swore he had a way.

With how confidently he answered, no one doubted he had something planned, and it stayed at that.

But Kary wasn't as easily satisfied.

Once everyone was busy talking to each other again, Kary took Alexander aside, wanting to know more about his plan.

"You sound confident, but I'm not so sure it'll be easygoing. Could you tell me more about this way you got to get into China?"

Alex grinned at her, knowing she wanted to know strictly because she wasn't satisfied with plans that involved her if she couldn't throw in some input on them.

Kary didn't like the grin he was giving her. It made her queasy.
