Revenge After Death

Steve turned and immediately started running. He signaled for Rachel and Zion to follow him.

But Rachel saw this as a good opportunity. She was desperate to find me.

“Stop right there,” Rachel demanded. She chased after Steve and urged him to stop.

His pants were both short and tattered. It seemed they were scavenged from somewhere.
