I pull my hair up into a tight ponytail and strap on the rest of my gear before walking back out to the truck. Titus and Conner follow behind me with mixed emotions. CheeChee even wears a small black vest that Conner made just for him. If I get caught trying to sneak into the City, they'll kill me first and ask questions later.
As I climb into the back of the truck, Conner licks his lips with fear and asks "Are you sure about this?" I look to him and nod my head with a smile as I say "I have to." Conner returns my smile and says "You two better come back." My smile grows as I nod and say "Of course."
Conner and Titus ride up front in the truck while I remain in the back of the truck but right before we see the wall, Titus stops the truck and I jump down. My black military-style boots hit the dry dirt under me and it causes little puffs of dirt to fly up.
