Revenge After Death



"What are you talking about? Do you think we'd be able to abandon you and escape on our own?" Joel looked at Steven with a frown. "This isn't like you. When did you become this indecisive?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Steven looked up at him and asked, "Why do you think they suddenly let you come over? These people aren't full of themselves like Carol."

Joel was stunned and fell silent.

"We should be under strict surveillance now." I looked around, observing the surveillance

cameras.

There were cameras everywhere, and every move we made was under watch. They would be alerted if we did anything out of the ordinary.

I suspected there were many people who were keeping an eye on us.

"Before they make a move on their prey, they'd lock them up to build rapport. Then, they'd kill one of them." I sat on the couch and looked at Joel. "Both of us were reincarnated- we're one too many. They could just get rid of one of us to force Steven to hand over the reincarnation data."

I rested my head on my hand lazily and said calmly, "Who do you think they'd kill first? I'm sure it wouldn't be me. If they killed me, not only would Steven not tell them, but he'd even try to kill himself."

Joel gritted his teeth. "They'll probably just take it out on a singleton like me, then."

He then glared at Steven and grumbled, "Couples are so annoying "

"It would definitely be hard to escape." I looked around us. "This is a maze specifically designed for us."

Besides, it wouldn't be the same as before now with Steven's lack of mobility. As such, it would be too great a price to pay if we were to risk escaping from here.

We would only be met with a dead end if this laboratory was built over the ocean or somewhere tough.

"Since we can't escape, we'll just sit here and wait for our demise, then." Joel was equally calm as he took an apple and started munching on it.

"Just take it one day at a time," he said while eating, glancing at Steven. "You don't seriously think the police will find this place, do you? Do you think they'd let us live so comfortably all this while if they could?"

Steven remained silent.

Joel was locked up with us, living day after day in this dark place, unaware of time's passing. Sarah would come over occasionally to bring Steven some homemade food.

She likely came on her own without bringing Rachel over. She was also worried that Rachel might ruin her plans by releasing us.

My odds of succeeding would be greater if she did not bring Rachel over. If Rachel wanted to help Zion and Eason rescue me, Steven, and Joel, she would definitely do her best to track us down.

There was also Michael in the picture. I could only hope that they were smarter.

"Stephie." After sleeping for some time, Steven got up and wanted to head down from the bed.

I reached out to hug his waist, pulling him down tight. "Why are you up this early when we don't have to work?"

We weren't aware of the time. I only knew that I wanted to sleep more with him. I wanted to hug him or let him hug me. We both probably knew that our lives wouldn't be peaceful for too long.

"Stop sleeping already! Hurry up and come out!" Outside, Joel was knocking on the door.

I frowned, wondering what that singleton was trying to do now. Steven got up and made his way over with his crutches to open the door.

Joel was beyond excited. I thought he had found a way to escape, but he was holding a pack of playing cards. "Let's play poker, guys!"

I rolled my eyes before turning my back against them to continue sleeping.

Steven looked back at me and helplessly asked, "Do you want to play poker, Stephie?" "No, you guys go on." I huffed.
