Things will be different this time, Caine said. There was too much contention, too much violence the last time. I tried to be a peaceful leader. But thing went badly. I wonder why, Diana muttered.

Sam was slow getting up. To Quinn he looked like an old man standing up after slipping on the ice. But he looked up at Quinn and performed a sort of salute. I owe you, Quinn. I'm sorry I didn't get him, Quinn answered. Sam shook his head. Man, don't ever be sorry you don't want to kill someone.

Sam was starting to feel anxious. Nutella and noodles were fine. Great in fact. Miraculous. But he'd been hoping for more food more water more medicine something.
