I was still tugging my shirt down as I opened the back doors of the van. A thump sounded from within. Then, before I could even see inside, Corey said, "Don't! It's Maya."
I flung open the door to see Corey holding Daniel by the back of the shirt. In one hand, Daniel held what looked like a shard of metal. He let out a relieved sigh and dropped it.
"How'd you know it was me?" I said.
Corey shrugged. "Good guess." His gaze shunted to the side, and I knew it wasn't a guess at all.
No time to ask.
I looked in the van. I couldn't see anyone else, but I looked anyway.
"Rafe's not here," Daniel murmured. "They must have taken him with Sam and Kenjii."
"So you rescued us on your own?" Corey said.
"Yes," I said. "You were saved by a girl. Horrible, isn't it?"
He slid out and looked down at my bare legs. "Not just a girl, but a half-naked one. Now that's hot. If I'm still unconscious, don't wake me, okay?"
I rolled my eyes and waved them out, then went to find the rest of my clothing.
