Chapter 216

Just as Micah said, Thomas was bound and gagged. He was stuffed in the furthest corner, next to Saeed. Alex crouched over an unconscious Yaul, and tried to make him drink from a half bottle of leftover blood. Torina fussed with her dress and a canister of wet wipes. Micah had moved closer to her, a crude offer in his eyes. Rachel was curled into a ball, cradling Kale and wailing. Joseff sat behind her, his hands on her shoulders and his face twisted in a mixture of agony and fury.
The back doors opened on an abandoned gas station. Rachel stayed behind with Yaul and Kale, while everyone else climbed out. The vampires gathered in an informal group, but Jorick took Katelina's good arm and led her away.
