And so too did Devonte and Khan, it was intense for them, the idea that Alex might have been dead had shaken them to their core, but never the less they were relieved, neither one of them wanted to be the one to tell him mother, or even worse Anya that they had let him walk into a cave alone and he was killed by a man with a hero complex.
Alex understood what they were feeling, but there was still work to be done, chief amongst that was the fact that the fish was still singing. Obviously he was the only one who could hear it, so he gave them all a nod and asked them to wait for him, but they refused. The last time they had let him walk into that cave, he had come out with throat ripped out and practically dead, if only for a few minutes. They weren't going to let that happen again.
