Dewey looked around at the others, seeing if any were going to follow Ellie. He noticed Eli, itching to go, but loyal to his brother. He said loud enough for all of them to hear, even Ellie, who had already gained some distance from the place they now stood, "Well, I'm going. See ya, guys..." He turned and began following Ellie, now with her hood on.
