" After a few moments of silence Rage turns to me. “Be honest. What’s your story? How did you end up Smoke’s captive?” “He didn’t tell you?” “He told me his side. I want to hear your side.” “Why?” I ask. “Because I care about Smoke, and I need to know if I should bury you in the prison yard before he gets back,” she says. My eyes widen. She rolls hers. “Don’t worry, I’d totally tell him you offed yourself so he wouldn’t blame me. We’d still be buds. "
