Chapter 24: Behind The Scenes
Lucas sighed in relief as he finally sat down, his plate of food in front of him.
The past hour had been nothing but tension, and for once, he just wanted to eat without worrying about raft-destroying saboteurs or missing supplies.
Nina had gone off somewhere instead of sitting with him, but that was fine. He had learned long ago that she did things on her own terms.
What did bother him, though, was that Mia was nowhere to be seen. That was... weird.
She was usually one of the first to grab breakfast.
Lucas scanned the area.
No sign of her.
But before he could think too hard about it, Leo plopped down beside him, setting his own plate down with a grunt.
"Man, I'm starving," Leo muttered, stuffing a piece of dried fish into his mouth.
Lucas smirked. "You sure you weren't kidnapped and dragged out of bed like me?"
Leo snorted. "Nah, but I did wake up to the sound of crying from one of the tents. Probably one of the girls. They're freaked out about the rafts."
