“Where the fuck is Kenzie?” I ask Daniels, crossing my arms over my chest. Locke is standing firmly at my side, and Enzo on the other.

“She tried to escape with East and Ryan but she failed...” he answers, trailing off as he looks away.

“Well no shit, Sherlock, we know that much already,” Enzo snaps, stepping forward towards his friend.

“Verity's dead. They've said Kenzie did it. I've contacted East and he isn't sure what happened with them after he got away. He said Verity was escaping with them and betrayed them, he also said he wasn't sure why Verity was going with them anyway. Apparently Ryan said there wasn't time to explain,” he says. His voice cracks a little as he talks about Verity dying, but he covers it quickly, carrying on as if nothing is wrong.

“None of this makes any damn sense,” I say, my mind drifts back to my conversation with Kenzie in the shower. She knew we had an escape plan. She knew we'd get her and East out, Ryan too if he wanted to leave. Which we didn't think he did before now. Something isn't right here... why would she do this and risk everything we had planned?

“So East has no idea why they were breaking him out that night? Or why Verity was going with him? I don't get why Kenzie wouldn't just wait for us,” Locke questions, as if reading my mind. I'd spilled the beans to the others about telling Kenzie the truth. They weren't happy, but I think they were all secretly happy not to have to lie to her anymore. Seeing her hurt like that had been tough for us all.

“He's as confused as the rest of us, but it seemed as if Verity was escaping too, for whatever reason,” he answers.

“So they could be lying about Kenzie killing Verity?” Enzo questions.

“Yes, they could,” Daniels answers him, but he doesn't sound convinced.

“Kenzie wouldn't have killed her unless she had to, you know that, right?” I say, stepping forward and resting a hand on his shoulder, but he shrugs me off as he steps back away from us.

“She made her views on Verity clear to me before. Verity was past saving. I know she was probably right, but she was my sister, and now she's gone for good. I'll never get a chance to save her now,” he replies.

I share a look with Locke. I know I'd never stop trying to save my twin, and he'd be the same with me. Luckily we agreed on most things, like which side of a freaking war to be on. Daniels begins pacing back and forth across the other side of the room

“I'm sorry about your sister, but we need to come up with a plan b,” Enzo says, but his voice doesn't sound sorry.

“Could you manage a little more tact?” I whisper, elbowing him in the gut. He rolls his dark eyes at me and then I step in front of Daniels to stop his pacing. It's annoying as fuck, and it's only stressing the rest of us out more.

“Something isn’t right about all this, and only you will be allowed to visit Kenz,” I tell him and he shakes his head. We need him to see her, find out what happened.

“I need to bury my sister, that’s all I need to do,” he says and walks out the room before any of us can stop him.

“They aren’t going to let us near her, and we need a new escape plan. Daniels is too focused on his sister. We need to plan this on our own,” I say, annoyed that Daniels isn’t even going to give Kenzie a chance to explain. His emotions are clouding his judgement and I’m hoping he will snap out of it soon.

“What the hell happened last night?” Kelly says as she slams the door open to my room, and quickly shuts it behind her.

“So, Ryan and Kenzie didn’t tell you of their escape plan either?” I ask her, and she pulls her white lab coat off.

“No, they damn well didn’t. I swear I’m going to kick both their asses when I can see them, but no one will let me in,” she says.

Enzo stands up, crossing his arms as he starts to pace. “Kelly, you need to contact your mother, get a plan ready for two days’ time. I will get Mr Daniels to go and see Kenzie,” he says, before walking around Kelly and out the room.

“How does he plan to do that?” I ask Locke, who shrugs.

“He knew Daniels before the academy,” he says, and I look over to see Kelly biting her nails as she looks around.

“Kelly, you okay?” I ask.

“I’ve barely spoken to my mother in five years, and now I have to ask for her help,” she answers in a quiet voice.

“For Kenzie and Ryan, you need to do this,” I say gently and she nods, turning around and walking out the room without another word.

“What are we going to do now?” Locke asks, looking as stressed as I feel.

“Train and get stronger, it’s all we can do,” I say, leaning against the wall and praying that Enzo can convince Daniels to get his shit together.
