“A better place? This world can never be a better place. Not when it's this,” Bek lifted her hand as though to gesture to her room, but Riley would be able to tell she was referring to...well...everything. She closed her eyes, “We all have. There isn't one among us that hasn't lost someone. Shit. Most of us watched loved ones die. Some of us were responsible for it.”

Bek could sense the thoughts running through Riley's head, untold stories that he would probably keep to himself, just as Bek was doing now. How could she tell him that he hadn't yet turned when she put that bullet between his eyes? How the trigger slid too easy for an action that would take a life, an action that would take the most beloved life? How she watched the fear disappear from his eyes as his life disipated? No. There would be no talking about that. She was hero. But at what cost? Her brother was dead.

“An entire world of what? Death? Decay? It's the same shit, just on the other side of the fence,” she shook her head. There was no reason to get terse with her friend. He'd simply acted out of what he thought was right. She couldn't blame him for that. “Well. It's the same either way. So why not? Shit. I'll go with you.”

Admittedly he knew that it was hard to believe that the world wasn't as hopeless as it seemed and that a better life could be made outside of these walls. It took some time for him to open up to that possibility as well.

Riley was a bit taken aback when Bek agreed to go with him, sure he had asked but he didn't think that she would. "We'll leave early in the morning then, you can pack up whatever you want to bring with you and we'll just leave."

He shifted on rhe bed, laying down and stretching across it. "The less you bring the easier it is to travel, we'll leave early to avoid a heavy guard presence. I'll leave before you, that way they won't see us leave together. Then we can meet up at the end of the road. I have a map and directions, it's going to be a three day journey." He closed his eyes. "Unless you know of a better exit? One that would let us avoid guards all together."
