"It is not in their nature to leave one of their own."

Booker chuckled. This was going to get him killed. He knew it but he couldn't help himself. He didn't want to stop himself. The only advantage he had was his wits. Each time he riled Quyhn up, each time she came unhinged and came at him, Booker gained a chance to counter.

He had the disadvantage of being chained and not in the best health of his life but all Booker needed was one opening. One chance to take her down and possibly get free.

"They left you, didn't they?" Booker expected fury. He expected Quyhn to rush him to kill him with her bare hands. She went still though. Booker watched as she went back, clearly went back, to the ocean floor and drowning over and over.

It was the first time he saw fear in her.

She snapped out of it and looked almost serene which was more terrifying than her fury. "More reason they'll come for you."
