„You are such an idiot.“ Delilah stared at the boy in front of her with sparkling eyes. „How can you miss this chance? The New York Times wants an interview with you, and you say 'no'? You can't be serious.“

Casey seemed to curl up even more. „You don't get it, Del,“ he murmured weakly. „I am so sick of this. All I want is to move on, and not to think about Mary Beth anymore.“

„Don't be stupid. The world is interested in your story, and you should take advantage out of this as long as it lasts. The Times will pay you a lot of money. MIT, Casey, Columbia. Every College will be open for you one day. With the small college fond your parents did set up for you, you will barely go to an unimportant city college.“

Zeke noticed Casey wincing, and with narrowed eyes, he stepped in. „Okay, Del, that's enough. Leave him alone.“

„What do you want, huh? Stay out of this. I'm trying to prevent him from making a great mistake.“

Zeke huffed annoyed. „Can't you imagine, what it means for him to go through this again and again? A fucking alien queen has tried to kill him. And you make a show out of it.“

Delilah shrugged. „She failed. And Casey now is the hero who saved the world. Why not make the most out of it?“

Inwardly shaking Zeke balled his fists to keep himself under control. He knew that she didn't understand better; no one did. No one but him. He had been the one who had found Casey under the bleachers in that night. Unconscious, covered with a slimy mess of the alien queen. Uncountable small scars on his face, because the spawn of the alien had tried to take over his body. A last desperate attempt to survive. Luckily they had failed.

He had hold Casey in his arms, almost sure, that he would never open his eyes again, his incredible blue eyes. But the wonder had happened; he was still alive, against all the odds. And he never talked about what had happened to him in that night. But Zeke knew anyway.

He turned to Casey and put his arm around his shoulder. „It's okay,“ he said in his most gentle voice when he felt him wince. „Everything is okay. C'mon, I will get you out of here.“
