[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4; color: #333; word-spacing: 1px;"]leaving maxine to drag dickie by herself wasn't ideal ,  but he'd be damned if he didn't check around and make sure no one had followed them .  he didn't want either of his siblings to get hurt any more ,  especially poor dickie  ( fear gripped his heart again ;  he couldn't think about the worst possibility ,  the one that was more probable than dickie living through his injuries ) .  so instead of helping ,  he'd just turned and scampered off without actually telling max what he was doing .  he felt a little bad ,  but they had no time to waste .  max was strong enough to carry dickie's weight ,  and they were close enough that other people were surely to spot them and come help .

he hoped so ,  anyway .  he hated leaving them alone like this .

cass felt just a little stupid hiding behind trees and peering out from them like he was playing a game of hide and seek ,  but he'd make himself look like a fool if it were to keep other people safe — especially his little siblings .

after awhile of running around making sure no one was following them ,  and making a hurried attempt to cover up at least some of max's and dickie's tracks ,  cass finally turned back to follow their trail .  his lungs burned and his chest felt heavy with anxiety ,  but he jogged as fast as he could without tripping over his own feet and falling face - first onto the ground .  the last thing he needed was to be embarrassed ,  even if no one could really see him yet .

once he could see who he knew to be max ,  and a few others he couldn't quite make out yet ,  one taking dickie away ,  he sighed out in relief .  he slowed his jog until he was close enough to fast walk the rest of the way to max's side ,  recognizing the other two who'd come to their aid almost immediately . before he could say anything ,  his eyes locked with max's and she let out a " glad you could join us ,  you dick , "  only half serious .  despite the lack of seriousness ,  his own response was nothing but serious .

" watch your fucking language ,  maxxie . "

and then he turned back towards edmund ,  then to the hand on max's back that helped lead her ,  and back up again with a tight smile and a nod of greeting .

" sorry i'm lagging behind .  had to make sure nobody was following .  is- is dickie gonna be okay ? "
