“What the hell is going on?” I asked again, trying to keep my voice steady.

“I don’t know,” he said, his voice low and measured.

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in short, shallow gasps.

“What do you mean, you don’t know?” I asked, my voice shaking with fear.

“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice urgent.

Kex looked at me, his expression unreadable.
