This time, Near finds her quickly. Mello has barely had time to unzip her duffel before the knock at the door. The cadence of the sound is unmistakable.

A small thrill of pleasure runs through her. The whole point of running off is to be caught; Near is excellent at finding her.

“C’mon,” she tells Near. “You’re letting out all the cold.”
