Newt placed his chin on Jett's shoulder and held her tightly. At first, he was hesitant but he hadn't ever held someone so close before. His mind raced but his body seemed calm within her arms.
Jett looked up at him. "Are you going to be alright?"
Newt tried his best to smile. "Yeah."
Jett placed her palm on his cheek. "You are a good man Newt, don't think otherwise."
For a second, his heart stopped and he thought about kissing her.
"I know you want to see your friends again but they all think you are dead. I don't know what the response would be and and and..." Jett's voice grew fragile as she trailed off.
"And what?" He raised a brow.
"And I don't want to loose you." She shook her head. "We need you, I need you."
"Well I'm not leaving." He shook his head this time.
"Jett! Newt! We need some help down here." Stevenson called from down the stairs and they took off in a slow jog.
Together the two watched intently as the storm raged on from the cracked windows. Teresa's group sat patiently in the background, drinking water and eating canned goods.
"What's up Stevenson?" Jett questioned.
Radar spoke first. "We've made the decision to leave at first light."
Stevenson nodded. "I don't care if those people hear us leave or not, we are leaving."
Jett nodded in agreement. "Do we take the supplies they carry it?"
"Good question Jett." Stevenson said. "We take half of it."
Newt cringed slightly but he nodded. "Who's staying up for the first watch?"
"I will." Radar volunteered.
"I'll take second." Josephine piped up.
"You wish." Jett snapped.
"Watch it sweetheart." Josephine sneered.
"Enough." Stevenson groaned. "The plan starts now."
