Eddie shook his head. Was he that obvious? Shit, even a blind kid could tell what he'd been thinking. The thought made him guilty. Who was he to try and claim superiority over anyone else? Hell, Jimmy was probably better off in a scrape than he was. He shook his head. "N-no, it's not that I think you'll slow me down. I just..." He trailed off. I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me. Eddie let out a defeated sigh before continuing. "You're right. I g-guess being with me is as safe as anywhere else."
Watching Trejo shoulder his pack, Eddie couldn't help but wonder if he was just being a coward by letting the boy come along. The whole thing would probably end in tears, but Eddie still didn't want to face whatever lay ahead of him alone. You're probably going to get him killed, you know. Pushing the troubling thought aside, Eddie turned towards the steadily brightening glow on the horizon and tightened his grip on the rifle. "L-let's g-go, J-Jimmy."
Striding with purpose, Eddie left the swamp behind him.
