Chapter 54: Ch-54 Departure

"What the fuck?" William exclaimed

"You heard me," Zephyr replied calmly. 

"No, surely I must have misheard."William tried to retort, but it was useless, as Zephyr replied. 

"No, I'm pretty sure you didn't."

"Holy sh*t, why did you not tell me something like this?" William asked, shocked by what he heard. 

"Why should I?" Zephyr asked, acting genuinely confused. 

William wanted to retort, but he wasn't sure how. He didn't trust Zephyr, so why would he expect his help? 

"I'm glad you at least have some level of shame still left," Zephyr said, observing his speechlessness. 

"And besides, if I told you the truth, you likely would have done something stupid and gotten yourself and everyone else in the party killed."

"That's not possible." Rex was still there; he would've protected me," William retorted.
