Those who fell Part 3

The first step was to take off their clothes and although Sam seemed evidently interested in Nika despite her current condition, he still looked the other way making Wendy even more confused.

"I have no clue, how did they do it?" Wendy shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know either, and that is what scares me." muttered the last part to himself, but Wendy's keen senses allowed her to hear it nonetheless.
