Chapter 31 Save The Children

The kids were silent now, watching Kael’s every move.
• The voice continued. “You’re wondering why we haven’t cut our losses. Why we haven’t just pulled out and left you a pile of bodies. Because one of those bodies is worth more to me alive than this entire hospital.”
• Kael’s jaw tightened as his finger hovered near his trigger.
