"Dia mendorong rambutnya, basah dari salju, keluar dari matanya. "Jadi, apa yang akan kita lakukan, memecahkan jendela? Mencari pintu belakang?" "Aku hanya akan masuk," kataku. "Aku putranya." "Kamu juga mengkhianatinya dan meninggalkan kota ketika dia melarang siapa pun melakukan itu," katanya, "dan dia mengutus orang-orang setelahmu untuk menghentikanmu. Orang-orang dengan senjata." "Kamu bisa tinggal di sini kalau mau," kataku. "Ke mana serum itu pergi, aku pergi," katanya. "Tapi jika kamu tertembak, aku akan mengambilnya dan lari." "Aku tidak mengharapkan apa-apa lagi." Dia adalah tipe orang yang aneh."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He pushes his hair, soaked from the snow, out of his eyes. "So what are we going to do, break a window? Look for a back door?" "I'm just going to walk in," I say. "I'm her son." "You also betrayed her and left the city when she forbade anyone from doing that," he says, "and she sent people after you to stop you. People with guns." "You can stay here if you want," I say. "Where the serum goes, I go," he says. "But if you get shot at, I'm going to grab it and run." "I don't expect anything more." He is a strange sort of person.
