Stella Sterling was silent for a long time.
She had run into her parents once before. At the time, they seemed to be in some trouble, having cheated someone out of their things but unable to produce the goods.
She hadn't paid them any mind, though, and had just left.
Back then, she'd thought they would probably be killed. After all, that group was not to be trifled with.
Her parents had always lived a pampered life. Even after the apocalypse began, they'd had a relatively stable time because they had stockpiled supplies, never facing any real danger.
Encountering that group must have put them in peril.
But to her surprise, they had managed to escape even under those circumstances and return safely.
And they had found her brother.
Stella Sterling knew from her past life that as soon as the apocalypse had begun, her "genius" brother had been taken in by a base and became a key talent they were cultivating.
