บท 60: Picking up the pieces, with the Captain

Captain Thatcher had a bad feeling fill his body as he turned to answer the phone call from Hill. He normally wouldn't have felt this way with Kellen, but something warned him away from those two girls. The first warning was that they worked at Guiding Center A, a place notorious for their snake-like Guides and their poisonous workplace. The second warning was the way that one Guide, Savvy, looked at Kellen. He didn't like the way she looked at him. Like Kellen was beneath her. Kellen wasn't beneath anyone. He was a good man, and he didn't like that Kellen's 'friends' looked at him that way. He also didn't like how he hadn't heard that they were Kellen's friends. With Guide Jameson, Green and Hill, he'd heard their names from Kellen's lips before. Those two girls? He'd never heard the names Savvy or Terry come from those plump lips.
