“You talked to Jessie?” Leland whispered to Jade and Sofie as they were buffeted about inside the small craft.
“Sofie did, I only saw her crawling back into the woods.” Jade replied.
“What did she say? Is she able to get us some help?” Leland continued.
“I asked. She said she talked to her dad and that she was going to get us out of here.” Sofie told them wishing there would have been more time to talk. “She was trying to get us away, she said she could make sure that they couldn't catch us.” she eyed their guards sitting on benches on the other side of the ship.
“How? Did she say how?” Leland probed.
“No, she gave me a flashlight. She said it was a weapon she made. She tried one but it didn't work, she said it needs about 8 hours to charge.” Her words gave them some hope.
“Keep it hidden, and don't talk about it.” Leland whispered. “We’ll need to wait for the right time… patience everyone.”
