"We're getting nowhere. I hunted for you so we could work together, but I hadn't accounted for the fact that you all have your individual problems."
She sighed and stood up rapidly.
"I..I need to clear my head. I need to take a walk."
Exasperated, Syrenity spun on her heel and walked into the forest.
Shadow watched Jim head into the motel, keeping his eyes on him.
"He doesn't trust you." Came the ever familiar voice in his head, boy would he be glad when that was gone, "for that matter does anyone. You were willing to kill them all, they may not have seen it, but I sensed it. You should eliminate the threat, before it eliminates you."
"Shut up, you don't control me!" Shadow mentally replied.
