“THIS WAY!” PETER HOBBLE-RAN beside me, dripping with pain
and grunting with every stride. “I know a shortcut to Neverland!” He
chuckled, but it came out more like a sob.

Every jewel spurred onward, so used to obeying Peter when he was
sober and smart, not questioning his judgement now he was high and
hurting.
The way we ran as a group reminded me of track at high school. How
we’d always start as a group and slowly thin out the more distance we
covered.
Would that happen here?
Would jewels fall back? Would we slow to stay together? Or would
some bolt ahead, chasing after hope that they might find escape, if only they
ran quick enough?
Gasping for breath, I glanced at Peter. The target mark on his chest
rivered into streaks of black, white, and red. The paint smudged and soaked
into the band of his nude-coloured boxers. His glazy eyes and feverish skin
far worse than even ten minutes ago.
Rachel scowled, holding her full breasts as we ran, preventing them
from bouncing too much. “You are not Peter Pan, Pete. There is no such
thing as Neverland.”
“Pretty sure I am.” Peter spread his arms. “Share his name, don’t I? Bet
you I could fly if I threw myself off the cliff.”
“No one is throwing anything off the cliff.” Rachel grimaced. Shooting
me a look, she couldn’t hide the depth of her terror. “He’s lost it,” she
whispered to me.
“Fly faster, friends!” Peter shouted, almost falling to his knees from
running on burned feet. “Shortcut ahead!”
Rachel reached for him, but he shrugged her off.
Sighing heavily, Rachel let fear braid with her temper. “How the hell do
you know a shortcut? What shortcut? You’re as high as the clouds, and if
you say you can fly in those clouds, I’ll—”
“Rachel.” I shook my head. “It’s okay.”
Tears instantly welled in her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she looked away.
Peter stumbled as we bolted down the lush grass of Victor’s runway and
past his private plane. A split-second idea of stealing the plane and flying
everyone out of here tantalised. If only I’d studied to become a pilot instead
of a gemmologist.
As we dashed past, the roar of the ocean crashed against the cliffs to our
right, almost deafening us.
Everything was louder out here, alive out here…wilder out here.
The forest we sprinted toward beckoned with bark and leaf, promising
to protect and hide us.
A few running jewels looked at the cliffs.
A guy I hadn’t spoken to and Suri—the girl who’d been on show with
Kirk the night of the treasure hunt—gravitated toward the edge.
