269 Night in the Storm

Sarah and Tim stared at him for a long minute in amazement without daring to break the silence, but the young blonde just couldn't help but ask the question that was bugging her.

"Uh, are you really going to leave them out in the cold like that? "She asked hesitantly.

"Why not? "Jake replied without the slightest qualms.

"But if they don't find a safe place quickly, it might be dangerous for them if the storm turns out to be as fierce as the current weather suggests."

"They're Evolvers with their Aether stats maxed out or close to it. As long as they don't spend the night naked in a blizzard, I doubt a storm could kill them. "Jake brushed off her argument with an irritated wave of his hand.

"What could they have done to make you hate them so much? "Sarah asked, her eyes wide open in amazement. She was aware of his social ineptitude and his taciturn nature, but she didn't know he could hold such a grudge.
