บท 261: Valley of Fear

"So, what did you say?" Damian asked. 

"They gave us a couple of days to think," Sam replied. 

"Where were you all day? Just reading?" Einar asked, her tone sharp. Damian ignored it though. 

"They showed me the place where I'll be working. I'm supposed to move there soon." 

"You're already leaving?" Sam asked, his voice tinged with worry. 

"I'm just transferring rooms. I haven't signed the contract yet—it'll take a couple of days," Damian reassured him, meeting his gaze. 

"What do you think I should do?" Sam asked, breaking eye contact and turning to stare out of the window. 

"What do 'you' want to do?" Damian asked in return. 

"Find Anthony maybe... Get strong enough that no one can come after me… like you," Sam said slowly.
