240 | * Shannon appears to have gone right off the deep end of crazy: |
241 | --> [Following Zack] And how did he notice me in the first place, seeing as I’ve been wearing nothing but camouflage since the whole operation began? I might have to get my roller skates out of the closet so I can keep up with him. |
