Kaito tried hard to control his anger. If he let it loose inside the Pit, it would be dangerous, not only for himself but for his brothers as well. What he had just heard about the innocent boys forced into slavery by Dr. Dylan was more than his heart could take. His chest burned with rage.
"I need fresh air," he muttered and left the Pit before his fury swallowed him whole.
Renn's eyes followed him, then shifted to Mr. Slade. "Don't think of drifting off. You have to remain awake because you're going to be useful to us. Understand?"
The man gave a weak nod. Renn patted Hiro on the back and said, "Take care of that old woman."
Hiro frowned, glancing at the corner where Eliza sat. "Why is her mouth tied?"
"You'll see soon enough when you take it off," Renn replied with a laugh, stepping aside to give his brother room.
