“If you’re serious about wanting out of here, I’m the man who can make it happen. Anywhere you want to go. Barinski said he read my file. Find it and read it. Once you do, you’ll know I’m your man.”
She was taking in everything he said, and he could see she was definitely considering his offer. It didn’t matter why she wanted off the island, only that she did—as badly as he did.
“I have to go,” she said.
“When will I see you again?”
“When I decide whether I can trust you or not. If I do decide to help you, we’ll need a boat. Do you have any money?”
Sully patted his pants pockets. “Used my last quarter to call home.”
“There are boats at the village. I’ve already tried to get someone there to help me get off the island, but they’re all too afraid.”
“Why?”
“That’s a stupid question. Why do you think?”
“They’re afraid of Krizova.”
“He owns everyone on this island.”
“Including you?”
“I’m not the one behind bars.”
“And still you’re here, where you don’t want to be.”
She started to walk away again. He made one more plea. “Read my file.”
She never answered him.
Sully put all his energy into believing that if Melita read his files, she’d be back. But by afternoon when she hadn’t returned, he started to pray for a miracle. What arrived on the heels of that prayer was Holic Reznik, and minutes later he was headed for the disinfection chamber.
