    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    Sierra Six had ruthlessly culled all of Court from himself, carefully paring away slices of the boy between missions and flinging them behind him to the depths of time, until all that was left was Fitzroy's asset. Could only be the weapon the CIA had invested so much in. But as Claire threw her arms around him in the safe house where Suzanne had stashed her, Six realised that he remembered exactly when he had last been held without the intent to harm.

    -

    Court Gentry is not used to being in control of his own life, much less someone else's. He doesn't suppose a change in situation is going to lessen the universe's interest in tossing him around like a ragdoll.

    He would be right.

    Summary

    "Why? What about you and the other version of me? I guess you guys are close buddies too, huh?" I smiled over the rim of my mug.

    Ryland smiled. Or at least, I think he tried to. The expression twitched halfway through and he made a wincing face that disappeared as fast as he made it.

    "We are," he said after a pause. "Close friends."

    His eye twitched.

    Uh oh.

    watdatmean?

    If I still had access to Twitter, I'd be posting a tweet right now that just said: #watdatmean with no absolute context or whatever.

    Because Ryland suddenly sounded emotionally constipated, like he was hiding a massive and pointy shit inside his ass and desperately hoping nobody would notice. Which immediately made me notice.

    Summary

    Before Ryland had entered the arena, Adrian had kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ears, wiped the last tear from his eye and said. "District 10 is waiting for you. Your parents are waiting. You survive this, and you will- No, listen to me, you will, and you come home. Come home, Grace."

    Ryland closed his eyes and dreamed of the smell of sweet grass and earthy soil, he thought about the press of his mother's lips to his forehead and didn't think about winning. He thought about Karter, his quiet voice and the smell of leather and oil. He thought about dying by Karter's hands.

    "I just wanna live." He whispered to no one.

    Ryland Grace is 18, it is his last year before he ages out of the Hunger Games. Luck has never been on his side though, so when his name gets drawn, he has to come to terms with his imminent death.

    Karter 'Driver' Lanius is 17, he's been born and raised to kill. A butcher, a Career, because that's the way District 2 loves their children, with teeth and blood.
