Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Reminders Part 3

"Sampson is here to free you from the Vermix. You know Beshib... Tetlak... those itching to get us upstairs so they can ‘cure' us? They're killing us," I strain my voice for all to hear, "'infected' by ‘infected'. List by list. We're not coming back down but you don't know that because of the pills. Because they erase everyone you knew on the list. And if you don't wake up now, it'll happen to you too."

"Fallon," Sampson's smooth voice calls for me, his hand extended, "why don't you join me up here? It was you, after all, who found the lost."

A loud curse and I glance to Reid on my left. He's exhaling tightly, definitely not happy about this. This is not how he saw it playing out. Stepping toward the massive crowd, he races in front of me.
