It royally sucked to be the one hunted rather than the hunter, a fugitive from those he used to work alongside. He never thought things would turn out that way.
Rarely did life go the way it was planned. Would be boring if that was the way of things, any how. No one would find a complaint with having a break once in a while, though!
Still, he was taking care of someone else [along with himself], it made rooting for necessities all the more complicated. If he could just hunt uninterrupted, no problem. But there was the issue of having to keep one eye out at all times, waiting for the inevitability of the unexpected.
He knew better than most, it wasn't a matter of if he would be caught, it was when. When that time came, would he be ready for it?
As ready as he thought he'd be, there were still surprises that lay in wait for him.
Namely the unexpected presence of a little girl---! Ummm, honestly, the unexpected presence of a little girl, where there shouldn't have been a little girl.
"What are you doing out here?" Zack whispered, like raising his voice an octave or two louder would send alert beacons to all the parties hunting him down. "Did you get turned around?"
