Lohan raised his hand to his face and released the latches on his protective mask. The sound of the vacuum breaking was followed by a sigh of relief as he breathed in the hangar air, which, though not as pure as that of Elysium, was far superior to the chemical soup of Sector 4's streets.
Even though he could filter impurities from the air, if the air he breathed was pure, he could absorb far more nutrients for every cubic centimeter of air he inhaled.
When he finally removed the mask and revealed his face, silence fell over the group.
Jenny, who was instinctively massaging the side of her ribs where Lohan had struck her in the alley, frowned and uncrossed her arms. "Seriously? That brat who threw me against those boxes like a doll?"
Kai, standing beside her, was just as uncomfortable. Accustomed to fighting bigger men from other gangs, seeing that the one who had made him throw up that day was a boy as young as Devon was disheartening.
