Chapter 406

• Konner put his absorbent vest back on and brushed off the water on the outside of it. He’d have to wait a few minutes until the outer part dried before putting his shirt back on, but he felt ten times better than he had before stopping. There was something about water that was unaffected by man that appeased his very soul. He smirked, he might have a slight boggy odor for a few hours, but he didn’t care.
• He looked over to see Baylee wrapped in a blanket as her mother guided her to trees to get dressed again. Seeing her splash around made him feel like a hero. It was confirmation to her that she was actually free now.
• Reaching the van, he opened the door and checked his phones, Niema had told him to leave them she’d keep a listen for them. A few messages on the one, nothing he needed to deal with right now and the other one had no calls listed. When the assigned one rang in his hand, he jumped like a frightened child.
