Heat shimmers off the rooftop tar as the last thrum of the helicopter fades into a wall of smoke. I lean my weight against a crumbling gargoyle, the fight gone out of me. The faces around me tell the whole story. Nick watches the empty sky with a sneer of pure disgust. Rochelle hugs herself, her eyes wide with a fear she won’t voice. Ellis’s ever-present smile has vanished, leaving his face young and lost. Zoey stands like a sentinel, her gaze sweeping the fiery perimeter. Louis wipes his glasses, a nervous, hopeful tic. Francis glowers at everything and nothing. And Bill… Bill just stares past the flames, his eyes old with memories of other lost exits. We’re on our own now.
