Good news! I'll be able to reach the end of this book soon! Summer break is going to allow me much, much more time for YouTube ( record, edit, upload, record, edit, upload... Heh, it's actually kind of tough) and Wattpad! Hoorah!

Duncan didn't look up from his work as the group talked with Kim, "Isn't he...?"

"A Mastermind? That's..." Kim glanced over at him, "Behind him," she concluded, but added quietly, "Hopefully." "Behind him? That's not something you can just say is 'behind you'. That's... that's murder!" Bodil interrupted.

Kim glared at him, "And murder, if you haven't noticed, is the social norm." Kim motioned to another dead person lying face down in the mud outside the window, "What's important is that neither of us follow that.

This is past fixing." "Well not with that perspective you're not!" Sqaishey replied. "Ok, miss 'better' perspective, what do you plan on doing?
