“Where did you go when we were all bathing?” Claire called out Jada in the midst of the group. It’s night and the ladies were gathered around fire outside the remains of the jet, their safehouse. “I went to take a shit. Or is a girl no longer entitled to her own privacy?” Jada retorted with no iota of respect.
“Oh, she’s talking back at me.” Claire stood up tall now. She was ready to give them an interesting show. You could tell by the manner at which she squinted her eyes.

We can’t have a decent night without a fight or fright. The cold is unbearable. Lighting this fire was like being kissed by a god! Lying around and — should I keep making a list. And the almighty leader said what, Just?”
Claire charged at Jada,
“You fucking bitch.”
