“Explain,” Ellie echoes, and he feels her hands fist in the fabric of his shirt when she sways too far to the right. His impulse is to reach back to steady her, but this isn’t the moment. Instead he leans back just a bit, and she takes the gesture for what it is, leaning forward a bit more to steady herself against him. “We didn’t know it was Joel with you,” Marlene says, in that same calm tone. “As soon as we figured it out, we brought him here to recover.” “And tried to drug me,” Ellie spits like an angry cat. “You were panicking,” Marlene says. She moves forward a half-step. “We just-” “Back,” he orders, and after a jerk of the rifle, she does. He doesn’t know what’s going on, not yet, but he knows that Ellie is upset and Marlene has had something to do with it. And what else does he need to know, really?
