Once Harper's initial shock of realising it'spasses, a wide grin spreads over her face, and she steps towards

me. A hand reaches out to grab her arm, stopping her.

“No, Mandy, | just thought | saw nothing, it doesn’t matter,” Harper shakes her head, and it takes a gargantuan

effort not to demand the woman release her.

“Don’t lie, little girl, I saw it too. Tell us who he is to you,” the gruff voice | recognise from last night says.

“How could she possibly know me? I've never seen this kid before in my life. | have probably been locked up

longer than she has been alive,” | snort a laugh.

“Get Brent back here. | knew there was something off about these guys,” the guff man demands.

“No, wait. Ill tell you,” Harper shakes her head.

“Go on then,” Mandy says.

“He’s your bond,” Harper blurts, and | almost choke on air

the whole scene unfold with wide eyes.

“Harper will help him, won't you, Dear?” Mandy says.

“Yes, of course, but he doesn’t look like he can walk. Letfind Archie and Dillon, they can carry him,” Harper

says, and Robert plays along, gripping his head and crying out in pain.

This is good. Harper is smart. She has just letknow that both Dillon and Archie are here with her, and she has

worked out how to get her bonds and get back to my room with Robert. Now | just need to buy them enough

tto port out.

“Thank you,” | say to Harper, before turning to Robert. “You should try to eat something and then this kid is

going to have her friends take you back. Don’t wait for me, I'll cand find you later, okay?” | say, hoping he

The smell in here doesn’t seem so bad now that | know who is outside waiting for me.

“Wake up!” | demand into the mind link..

“I'm awake,” Theo responds quickly.

“We have Harper. She is finding Archie and Dillon, and then Robert will be bringing them back soon,” | say

quickly.

whole group as they givewords of praise and thanks.

they're back | need you to tell me, so | can escape before anyone notices they've gone,” | say.

“Do you have any yother bonds?” | ask, avoiding the bed.

“Nope, you get to haveall to yourself,” she smiles, laying back on the bed and patting the space beside her.

“Stop stalling, Lucas, I'll be gentle with you, | promise,” she blinks up at me.

“I'm not stalling. I'm just so overwhelmed by all this, | never thought I'd have a bond, and | want to savour the
