Midnight Nation #5

One night David dreams of the freedom of being a Walker, terrorizing the people of the In-between, reveling in murder and feeling alive. He wakes up screaming. Laurel seems to know what he dreamt and says that it wasn’t a dream, it was a promise. They quickly find that they are being followed by a Walker, Grey attacks it and Laurel goes to intervene and it says her name again and asks for help. Once the Walker is safely tied up, Laurel explains that this walker was the guy who had gotten his soul taken and taken the walk to New York just before David. The Walker explains that he saved money for his daughter for college and wanted to make sure that his family got the account number and such. Laurel mentions that it breaks the rules and that there will be repercussions, but helps him anyway. The Walker tells Grey that it would probably just be easier for him if he let Laurel kill him before New York. When Laurel asks what he said, Grey says ‘Nothing’. The Walker is quickly retrieved and slaughtered by his own.
