“Come in? Hold on,” I say, switching the subject, “so you have seen the people holding us then?”
Phil considers how to answer that one. “They don’t exactly let us get a good look at their faces.”
“I don’t understand.”
“You will,” Kavi promises.
“Nick didn’t do anything wrong,” Jane continues, as if the conversation hasn’t moved on at all. “It wasn’t because of that—they just enjoy it.” Without thinking, her hand goes to her neck and now I see the scar. It’s a fresh one, still quite raw. “They enjoy hurting us.”
“But why? What could they possibly gain from this? What do they want?”
“That,” says Kavi, “is precisely what Nick wanted to know.”
