In the middle of the night, Lucious awakens from the horror of sleep. He was dreaming about when the outlaws had taken the lives of his friends. He looked around the camp. Bodys curled around all over the place. He looked up at the tree he was under. If Rover were still around, he'd be sleeping up there, twisted around branches in a confortable coil. He would never say goodnight, just give a simply nod when everyone was about to fall sleep. He looks to a fallen tree, the leaves all dead and whats left rotting. Thats where Drift would sleep, pearched on the branches that were stable and confortable. He remembers the way Drift tested each branch, saying "If a branch is too weak, it will pivot under my weight, if its to unconfortable, i'll never sleep and if its too open, a predator could take me for a mid night dinner. I take this very seriously"

Drift was a lad, a happy chap. He would be the one who breaks a long awkward silece and he would be the one who made sure no one forgot their humour. He could fix a heart better then he could break an arm. He could walk through hell with a smile. No one could hate him, he couldn't hate.

His thought was intrupted when Kwa was found standing next to him. Kwa handed up a new note. "We found him" as he read on, he realised how no ones perfect, the colony found out he was alive, but never pin pointed his location. Lucious assumed it was the tower, but he would never take that risk unless he was certain, and he was. He ditched everyone, cought up with an old friend, so that they could bust out him out of jail.

He knew what he needed to do. He started walking away from the group, waking Icho and bringing him with him.

As he made distance from the group, he heard a voice from behind "Where are you going?" It was Cinder.

"Theres something i have to do"

"And why can't we come?"

Lucious was pained to answer "Its personal"

"Thats not what a leader does"

"Im no leader, i haven't been for a long time"

"You became one once you started leading our group again, you may not think it but leading us is exactly what you've been doing. We follow you, so why can't we help?"

"I don't know, i just don't want people to die by my actions any more, too many have lost their life under my lead, i don't want that.

K, this is the part where you convince me to tell you what needs to be said and bring the lot of you with me on this development path for our favourite long legged crocodile.
