228 Look at me

Simon carefully pulled Conner away from the electric wires that the human had lightly received current from. He placed his hand on Conner's neck to check the pulse and looked up at Melanie, who looked utterly worried and anxious. 

"Is he alright?" asked Melanie. 

"He will survive," replied Simon, before muttering under his breath, "If not we can have a date together by digging the ground and saying our farewell." 

"What?" Melanie didn't hear what Simon said over the sound of the splattering rain and her focus on her friend. 

Simon offered her a bright smile as if he was the one who had been electrocuted by the wires before he said, "I was telling you that we should find a place to stay for the night. Just so that we don't get caught or fall sick. Not to mention, it would be hard to escape from here with Conner in this condition."

Melanie being obedient, gave him a nod, "Okay. Let us go."
