章 666: Chapter 666 We Didn’t Start the Fire

"I think that's probably for the best," said Gareth softly. Despite not wanting to push Kat into a decision, her suggestion was certainly the one he was most comfortable with. This would get Lily off the field and allow Kat to completely focus on whatever was ahead of her while also making sure that the rest of the team wasn't likely to just be completely overwhelmed. The round of nods he received from everyone other than Kat solidified his stance.

Kat brushed her tongue across her lips trying to remove the dry feeling in her throat. *Why is this so much tougher now that we're in agreement? I know it's not the thought of being restricted, that's something I can deal with… but even knowing it's the best idea I can't be completely comfortable just leaving Lily with time. Dammit. I trust Thyme with my life, why can't I trust them with hers as well.* 

"Ok. Do it," said Kat with as determined look as she could manage while holding Lily out towards Thyme.
