A rush of relief and fear swept over me as these words escaped my lips. What would Klae say? He'd never been one for rebellion, let alone what I was planning to do. As I stared at the fire pit--which was sputtering out its last attempts at life--avoiding Klae's eyes, I tried to think of some other way. Some other way to pay for what needed to be done. Some other way that wasn't . . . illegal.
'What?'
Klae's reaction was how I imagined it would be. Shock and disappointment collaged into one single emotion that was so strong that it caused me to flinch. His voice was loud, angered. I could imagine his already dark eyes grow darker, widening from the suddenness of my words. He was probably glowering at me, wondering what I was thinking. My plan was crazy. My plan was unethical.
My plan could send me to jail."
