"Stop here" Hester said and climbed out even before Kurt could bring the vehicle to a halt, she slipped at the motion of the car and fell but the sorrow for Esteban overwhelmed all pain.
"Are you okay!?" Kurt asked coming around the vehicle.
"Okay!? You asked if I'm okay!? How can I be when they gunned Esteban down in the streets like some animal!?" She yelled getting up.
"It... I, well..."
"And above that, in a crowd full of people who wanted us to live among them..." She said using eight fingers to press her eyes "They did nothing, they... Didn't even try to intervene"
"Hester, being human means being full of flaws, and one of them is to act brave but in the face of danger all bravery is tested, usually men fail"
She sank to her knees and softly cried, now what? Bella is still out there somewhere, did she manage to escape?
