Chapitre 90: Chapter 90: Marinah

There’s something about Garret that’s off. He’s saying all the right things, behaving as a good politician should, but I’m not sure if we can trust him or not. Time will tell. The outpost that was attacked is about twenty-four hours from here if we run the entire way. King doesn’t want to waste the time and is having us dropped at the village by parachute.

I’ve never parachuted in my life. I’m no longer terrified of the thought though. I just need to get the first jump out of the way. I’ve had exactly two previous lessons, and my confidence is nil.

King yells at me over the plane’s engine, “Remember what you learned about untwisting your rigging lines if needed. You’ll have plenty of time to set yourself up for landing,” We’re standing at the open cabin door, and my stomach is in my throat. He adjusts my harness one last time and gives me a quick kiss.
