Baxter turned to his companions.
"What do you think?" He asked them.
Everyone's faces were serious. There was a three-second interval before someone answered.
"For Miss Claire… let's do it."
The first to respond was Edward. His voice was full of determination and a desire to help his companion.
"Right!"
"For Miss Claire!"
Bernard and Amado also agreed.
Baxter smiled from their reaction. He turned to Jem. "Thank you so much, kid. If we succeed in this mission, I will be very grateful to you—"
"No, Leader!" Because of Edward's sudden interjection, everyone turned to him. "It's us… all of us…" he said. "We will all view it as a great debt to him if the mission succeeds and heals Miss Claire."
"Ed is right," Bernard agreed to Edward.
Everyone turned to Chelsea who, of all the people there, was the only one who did not give an answer. "How about you, Chel," Baxter asked.
Chelsea then opened her mouth.
