We’re going to look for water, ” Sam said. He could almost hear the wheels in Taylor’s head spinning. Then, “OMG, we’re out of water?” She bit her lip, took a couple of dramatic breaths, and wailed, “Do you mean we’re all going to die?”“ That would be a pretty good example of why we’re keeping this secret, ” Sam said dryly.“ I just need to go–”“ Uh-uh! ” Sam said. “No you don’t, Taylor. You don’t bounce anywhere or talk to anyone without me agreeing. Are we clear?”“ You know, Sam, you’re nice. And so very, very hot, ” Taylor said. “But you’re not really much fun.”“ Let’s get out of here while we can, ” Dekka said. “I brought a gun, by the way.”“ Are we going to be in danger?” Taylor cried.“ The gun’s in case you get on my nerves, Taylor, ” Dekka warned.“ Oh, so funny, ” Taylor said. .
