#Chapter179
Can’t we catch a break?
Alex
After the visit to Joseph’s, I felt mentally exhausted. It was so much to take in, plus almost used as a punching bag by two burly men didn’t help matters. We stayed a little longer after I mentioned Hunter, who they referred to as the ghost. I had wondered if I had signed my death warrant by meeting Hunter. From what I gathered, the moment you meet him, you exist to be alive. Elliot was the same way to take care of business.
When we got back, I snuck out and went for a walk. I know it’s a big no, but I needed time to clear my mind and collect my thoughts about everything. I had information overload, and it was exhausting.
As I walked, lost deep in my thoughts, I felt someone grab my arm. After what happened in the classroom, I whipped around. I delivered a kick to the person, but they caught my ankle. I looked to find Ryan holding my ankle.
