CHAPTER 19

  "This is as good a spot as any," Cade declared.

  I dropped the small bag on the ground and slid down. Our main food source had gone with Aiden, and I wasn't even sure he still had it. However, my stomach rumbled eagerly as I recalled the meager food supplies placed into Cade's duffel bag of guns before we’d left the tree house. It had seemed smarter to have the food and water spread out between us, and I was extremely relieved it had been. I was starving, but I was going to pass out before I got the chance to eat. I was tempted to take my sneakers off, but decided against it. I didn't want to see the mess I knew my feet had to be, and I wasn't going to be caught unawares in bare feet.

  Cade was digging through the bag when I lay down on the ground, propped my head on my hands and passed out cold.
