Kim:
The chase hadn’t been successful and Kim had to return to Kit’s friend’s house empty-handed. It was P’First who greeted him at the door and pulled him aside so that the boys didn’t find out what situation they were in.
“How’s Ben?” Kim asked, knowing that there was something going on between the boy and the Channarong don, that wasn’t as obvious to most people.
“Ben as been taken to the hospital due to his injuries.” P’First sighed, running his hand through his hair in frustration. “He has glass embedded onto his back, but since the bullet didn’t hit him, he should be fine.”
“That’s good to hear,” Kim nodded. “Though I am sorry to hear about his injuries.” When Kim finally turned his gaze to the rest of the people in the living room, he saw a worried-looking Earth huddled on the floor with Kit, both of them looking confused and frightened.
