Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Sister's Keeper

I'm slung over strong shoulders, the press of cybernetic skin against my flesh where my t-shirt rides up.

"Have to go," Duet whispers to herself as she spins and heads for the open door. I can only see behind her, my head bobbing helplessly, watch us pass through the gaping doorway, leap the bodies of three downed Crawlers, the hall passing at rapid speed as Duet carries me away. "Have to go."

I struggle against her, feel the fog lifting this time. Did they misjudge the dose? Perhaps my body in its powerful healing capacity has finally adjusted. For whatever reason, I'm groggy still, but awake and aware and fight Duet for the right to use my own two feet.

She stops suddenly, dumps me next to her where I sway and wonder if it was such a good idea after all. Duet's eyes are full of madness, lips drawn back in a scowl so fierce I worry for her state of mind.
