Jess staggers in Tuesday morning. Her knee is getting better, she's no longer wearing the brace. All that rest actually helped.131Please respect copyright.PENANAJIHqdioCQH
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXnO7rV7jyO
"You're a little late." Bella says, standing right at the entrance booths.131Please respect copyright.PENANAvhXqooa8l4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIwxDxrI1Z8
"I'm sorry."131Please respect copyright.PENANAoWrE1LlLjv
131Please respect copyright.PENANAl6uT5GRH4I
Douglas had to go somewhere, Bobby went who knows where and she doesn't care, fuck that prick, and Bailey with Maeve gave her a lift. They dropped her off a blocks short though of work, she had to walk the rest of the way. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAkZZKhyWNFY
131Please respect copyright.PENANAt4YZPijrl4
"Anyway, Jess, uh. I, Brianna and Joe want to plan to hang out after work and we'd like you to come with us."131Please respect copyright.PENANAEfTH5GzK86
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5AD1i4PQpL
"Doing what?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAEl9urbRuQV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAd2wmYvq9Nt
"We haven't figured that out yet. So, will you come with us?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAVNQ3CWGhGy
131Please respect copyright.PENANAfANnGd66qz
She doesn't respond. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAUw7VsC1ki1
131Please respect copyright.PENANALHr6Y7PFsB
"You look a little tired."131Please respect copyright.PENANAsmeAe2mPeD
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzQJnoPsPaS
She just wants Bella to leave her alone. Her leg may be better, but it was a shit weekend. That asshole Bobby seriously thinks it's okay to attempt to have sex with her though, when she was tied up no less. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAkDawjEsZi0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAT9F7sUUROK
Her phone goes off, and she checks it. It's two seperate messages. Maeve and Bailey giving her their numbers and Bailey also giving her Bobby's and to call or message her if there is anything she needs. A little unsure what help they think she would want from them.131Please respect copyright.PENANA9P3p1Xibk7
131Please respect copyright.PENANASl7hVyGcxj
Their proably burner numbers also. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAYm1rYGtXQp
131Please respect copyright.PENANAofEblBCaFT
"Please put your phone away, Jess."131Please respect copyright.PENANAzZV03VHImt
131Please respect copyright.PENANAblnqLaplvT
She looks up, Maggie walking past. Anna following behind her. "You okay? You look distracted." Lou speaks up. His right behind Maggie.131Please respect copyright.PENANAtc9b6GMe9P
131Please respect copyright.PENANAVxi8dzu9Fu
Jess puts her phone away and looks to Bella, ignoring Lou. "What do I have to do today?"131Please respect copyright.PENANA0p9Dm6cKzo
131Please respect copyright.PENANAajsh3SMuIK
"You're scheduled on the main floor. Do you want to come out with us?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAc3GNf1DOwC
131Please respect copyright.PENANA0yJ70STkaf
"I'll think about it." 131Please respect copyright.PENANAcGjMZCuykZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlC0v97kjlj
And the conversation ends there. She looks over seeing Princess lined up beside Dreamer and Cuddles. She hasn't seen Cuddles before without his teddy bear suit on. He has slicked back hair and has shiny clothing on. He looks like his meant to be a boy band member. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAaMf1fASW3y
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUMv5v5Glld
Guess his multi-purpose. Put him in the suit for the kids, take it off and immediatly he appeals to the teens. He proably sings and dances the same as Princess. She hasn't seen him onstage though yet. She's only been here one month so far.131Please respect copyright.PENANATmtY2xpr7A
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIJIQDtWFe9
Dreamer is for the nursery, play zone for toddlers and some kids.131Please respect copyright.PENANAp0oIgK7Due
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgiwq6YVGXQ
And there is some generic androids who work the customer service desk. That's not alot of androids.131Please respect copyright.PENANAoPBtA9FSTo
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7W4I94Hcxt
A few hours pass, it's a very slow day suprsingly. Not alot of vistors. Jamie and her toddler sister, Jade nor Jamie's friends have shown up. Where are they? Did they go to school today? Question is also, is Jade in daycare somewhere?131Please respect copyright.PENANAyHfmkDglIh
131Please respect copyright.PENANASjTfClHxTn
"Hey."131Please respect copyright.PENANAcCsFqYf8uz
131Please respect copyright.PENANALFzezS3isk
Jess turns to look beside her, Ren leaning beside her. She looks tired and a tad dishelved this morning. Hair kind of a mess, uniform put on quickly. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAVYgRdxB3UY
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuNRg3qntcd
She's sucking a lollpop. "You're late. Much later than I was." Jess tells her. "Is that your breakfast?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAhybmiDPOG1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGAZzWc9Rrn
"....Yeah."131Please respect copyright.PENANA3kUBAszsS4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAWbBPBSDMgc
"You okay? Like seriously. You seem really out of it, Ren."131Please respect copyright.PENANA4DITch5tY5
131Please respect copyright.PENANAegi0uzMuna
Usually Ren's a bitch, tormenting everyone. Her being this quiet and messy this morning is something new. 131Please respect copyright.PENANALs0yzPGx7w
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZgbzPtg2M
"Jesse..."131Please respect copyright.PENANA1VuC6VQ86s
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhPGJshkU3h

131Please respect copyright.PENANAOiiMesVoSV
"I'm sorry."131Please respect copyright.PENANA4CDlxkhzVz
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHf7tqMYvwg
"For what? And really?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAdNegL6P2yw
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPmw3EOteZR
"No, I'm not. It's just what people expect to hear though. Socially acceptable and blah, blah nonsence."131Please respect copyright.PENANAUDxIYoTfYo
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1OIvgZioL8
"What's wrong with you?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAwEsneFSl8Q
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcJCvCTGIug
"My diagnosis or-"131Please respect copyright.PENANA1RQBwMQM3M
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjaSZZFKcAt
"You don't have to tell me your diagnosis. The other will do."131Please respect copyright.PENANAtDynHgmumP
131Please respect copyright.PENANA65p47TmgS5
"Uh, well. This morning, I had an appointment at the hospital I was required to go to. They injected my medication. I wasn't taking it and when you we're on the unit, I was sectioned too. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAv7SzqHCCrf
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHmK0QqCn2F
I'm required to keep attending treatment or I will be recalled to the nut house."131Please respect copyright.PENANAt5NKjh6Y5V
131Please respect copyright.PENANALbygUcaMzV
"You're not crazy, Ren. Just sick."131Please respect copyright.PENANATMEFbBpmmk
131Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZZ93sntnZ
"If you say so, Jess."131Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ObKTJkNy
131Please respect copyright.PENANACd3MXt0tPI
Ren rubs her eyes a bit, yawning. "That detective lady who came to see you. Did you know she actually hates me? I smashed her previous patrol car with a baseball bat. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAzNr6v29Lxy
131Please respect copyright.PENANAKvHZ7wAiQk
It's actually why I was in the hospital."131Please respect copyright.PENANAqTfWpbmG9d
131Please respect copyright.PENANAstiEopsm7C
"Oh..."131Please respect copyright.PENANAsKtfNgNwc0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAK5V2Ya1TEO
"Yeah." Then Ren yawns heavily. "Catch you around, friend. Later." And she gives Jesse a small fist bump, walking off. 131Please respect copyright.PENANApf7lG37TPL
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuissf49pnY
Jesse's left standing alone and Bella slides up beside her. "That was... oddly weird."131Please respect copyright.PENANAtdBcW9W9O2
131Please respect copyright.PENANAu92FCKRpYl
"She was injected with her meds at the hospital. It's why she was so late and so... calm."131Please respect copyright.PENANABcKAdsmeCH
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6C7fSpLq95
"Oh, that explains it."131Please respect copyright.PENANAXRRxu0yO91
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwTHLS9W7LH
"Is Anna around today?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAyPp7LgnIN6
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ9fRRwzIs
"I haven't seen her, like I haven't seen alot of other people today. I don't think she's even here, her pass hasn't swiped in at the gates."131Please respect copyright.PENANAr8RIwSCLIK
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4RUf44ioOi
"Does today feel really weird to you, Bella?"131Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z90YSK57P
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4dEy4fFWZ9
"Actually, yes. It does."131Please respect copyright.PENANABA91zsvkqI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Mny8SDWN
When Bella's walkie talkie comes to life. "One moment, Jess." 131Please respect copyright.PENANABGoORnCPrS
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjyIWIsObY1
She takes a few steps away, talking to someone. "Damn it." Bella says hanging up. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAU2ckHJpDGa
131Please respect copyright.PENANAqRE5gd4mGP
"Everything okay, Bell?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAdiHsHaz2n8
131Please respect copyright.PENANATNIqFPCkXU
"Bell?"131Please respect copyright.PENANACyMsB90Gvv
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzvYClrBg26
"Sorry."131Please respect copyright.PENANAOmcwovmklv
131Please respect copyright.PENANAE7ER032bhJ
"No, no. It's fine! I actually... like it. That was Joe. We got two problems. One is turn out is low today for Princess show. There's virtually no guests here. Very few tickets have been sold and the other is Princess is broken I think? She's not responding to commands.131Please respect copyright.PENANAw8gO37LV9Q
131Please respect copyright.PENANAW4HpcJYJcn
Joe's got her in the warehouse trying to resolve it. I need to go talk to Maggie."131Please respect copyright.PENANAMaZzkIf1Ur
131Please respect copyright.PENANAM8tAFjYmNK
And Bella leaves her alone, heading to the elevator. Jess turns around, looking at the stage. She could... get up there for them.131Please respect copyright.PENANAQPAE0tJP70
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7G9NeUOq0Z
They hire stand in human entertainers to masquerade as the androids in a crunch, but there is no way one would make it here on such short notice. Perfomance is in half an hour.131Please respect copyright.PENANAixoEe9MJuj
131Please respect copyright.PENANA0ptEHyZ0fW
She could do it for them, they just don't she... it would save them the embarassment of no performance, but ticket sails is not something she can resolve. Unless... 131Please respect copyright.PENANACBMSjLMmx1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgH3963NWQW
She slips backstage, finding it unlocked and slips into Princess dressing room, turning the lock.131Please respect copyright.PENANAM4ce4F82UC
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8quI30BP1i
She pulls out her phone and dials a contact.131Please respect copyright.PENANAssaINWXKQq
"Bailey."131Please respect copyright.PENANAt2gRxAACjD
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuaGHwKz4g4
They answer in once ring.131Please respect copyright.PENANAeXijpEHsWO
131Please respect copyright.PENANAW7cfyhmwyT
"Johnthan?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAYB1XUWbhT1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAD7HsXWUm6a
"Do you need something, Jess?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAecTNteI92q
131Please respect copyright.PENANABRUoBml84L
"When you said if I ever need anything. Do you mean just drugs or-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAyFhA5SiAaz
131Please respect copyright.PENANARK9qMes7xX
"I meant anything."131Please respect copyright.PENANA2t7Tvf6wm7
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXTtKnFsYXP
"Like a crowd? You could get me a whole bunch of people?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAN1mRp9di2V
131Please respect copyright.PENANAowTnEa7mHw
"I don't understand-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAUfwQiA1qDR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZD8asPb4Nl
"Guest turn out at work is slow today and the performance android, Princess is broken or something."131Please respect copyright.PENANA2hljqvCiHY
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8CHlJ83oSF
She leaves out the Princess is sentient? part. Is she really broken or just faking it, not wanting to work? She hasn't spoken to Princess so who knows.131Please respect copyright.PENANAQwEfIB2YrV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAn2jCNQ2sPL
"So you need what?"131Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gs1MS1MY9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAO5uqjwNwTa
"A crowd."131Please respect copyright.PENANAaItNJO1LtJ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAK2gyhbqTPH
"Of people?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAHKxZTBcXSg
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkctdEh2NZy
"Yeah."131Please respect copyright.PENANAK8DWJ8p8b7
131Please respect copyright.PENANAKouuAkWOBx
"I... can actually get you that. But if one of the androids are broken-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAIxc5YOxnu2
131Please respect copyright.PENANAAOzqj6WYUO
"I'll go up on stage."131Please respect copyright.PENANAxpPS4LtBqL
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1en3w8o2Tc
"Can you sing?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAViEaOT8NpK
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9x1u8hm55J
"Yes. I had another whole other life before I moved here."131Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Z9Zg1sCG
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxaVFrZBOev
"Douglas left out a fair bit about you then."131Please respect copyright.PENANAOVOhrcZ9G2
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlq2tdbyC6p
"So, a crowd? And how do I pay you?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAUP4uzWknfW
131Please respect copyright.PENANAa35QUga1LR
"You're Douglas' informant. He fits the bill for anything you related. He wants his bussiness and old life back."131Please respect copyright.PENANAAFaFCS1z72
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgSEvtgbSjF
"But what if he doesn't pay-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAPh91vmGU2h
131Please respect copyright.PENANADnVCpfATi1
"He'll pay, Jess. I'll get you a crowd. Get dressed or whatever you need to do." 131Please respect copyright.PENANAHelwrvmvD5
131Please respect copyright.PENANALOsWCbdqYj
And the call ends. Jess places her phone on the dressing room table, entering the wardrobe, picking out an outfit, taking a Princess wig off a stand in the corner, does her makeup and removes her glasses, inserting her performance contact lenses. They color change. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAwrPE5u00Jm
131Please respect copyright.PENANA24OyXoBll5
She logs into the app for them on her phone selecting the shiniest, bright silver that resembles Princess eyes. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAdtgUFgCs07
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbKbmeZsBkJ
She looks like the spitting image of Princess, can hardly tell herself she's not her. Her vocals will be diffrent, but the other human entertainers on call who play Princess don't completly sound like her either so it's fine.131Please respect copyright.PENANA4mSYAS0dhl
131Please respect copyright.PENANAq5WoBze3aQ
There is a knock on the dressing room door and she shovers her phone under some of the makeup supplies, answering the door. Time to play the part.131Please respect copyright.PENANAKo44nHOQer
131Please respect copyright.PENANAeenxQuDtxO
It's one of the stage hands. "I thought you we're broken, but the lights on in here. Princess, showtime is in 12 minutes and counting. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA8JE8xX6obb
131Please respect copyright.PENANAR51pdCauDJ
Get to your position underneath the stage."131Please respect copyright.PENANAUdYw6hZjZS
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYrhyYj26M9
"Of course,..." Then she reails off realizing she doesn't know this employees name.131Please respect copyright.PENANAdJyWeaUjUC
131Please respect copyright.PENANAv4dZ8P4aIM
"Carly. Come on." And Carly takes her by the hand, dragging Jess all the way to a lift underneath the main stage. She's so convincing, Carly doesn't know she's human or realized her skin is real.131Please respect copyright.PENANAtGW8uWCFE1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJPuadbWp
Princess skin feels very real, but there is a slight sytheticness you can feel in her touch.131Please respect copyright.PENANA17UabBkXYi
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhUmQrYQvgs
Jess stands there waiting for showtime, Carly walks up placing a microphone set on Jess head, positioning it. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAz3qV1rkMdq
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6HpmNdVRzp
"Thank you, Carly."131Please respect copyright.PENANA5VOIZllIHg
131Please respect copyright.PENANANsVBHZOOCT
"No problem, Princess."131Please respect copyright.PENANA1jAUK36zr0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvCONZVbzgh
Carly looks tired. What is with everyone today? Carly's tired and hasn't realized she's human.131Please respect copyright.PENANAPjIwRaiXoD
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHqmvlMERvX
She hears music and the lift platform starts to rise, raising Jess up. There is smoke and lights everywhere.131Please respect copyright.PENANAwUo0ustXYN
131Please respect copyright.PENANA48p72xq9Ml
She sees a few extra are present in the crowds. It's not hundreds, but give or take, it's about 30-50 more guests.131Please respect copyright.PENANA2ynrUZv6Q3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAx01wme21MT
Thank you, Bailey. It's time, and she starts Princess song, hitting every line in sync with the music and dancing perfectly. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAmnVqasWBZT
131Please respect copyright.PENANApDgg5SF14z
It wasn't to long ago she was doing this, she did before she moved. During the performance, she sees Bella in the crowd looking up at her, phone out. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAwg4gg655Ba
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXQHLvPlgZL
Is she filming her? Bella lowers her phone and walks away. She does the ending pose minutes later, the smoke rises more and the lift starts to descend. She can vaguley hear Carly on stage above, thanking everyone for coming. It's a slow ride down and she sees Maggie, Ren, Joe and Bella waiting for her. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAthf4uiN8ei
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9NS1GRMGMP
She straightens up and Joe steps towards her, shining a light in her eyes. She tries not to react.131Please respect copyright.PENANAuwAngUj3ZX
131Please respect copyright.PENANAP9WnteQYHK
"I go to lunch, and you call me back urgently for this. There is blue eyes behind, these are color change contacts. Your performer is human.131Please respect copyright.PENANAk7HE8VyONE
The real Princess is proably still in the warehouse. I'll check." He says, taking a step back. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA7BA3mk4ybI
131Please respect copyright.PENANA95VHKM1pRU
"Who are you? I didn't have time to call a replacement in." Maggie says slowly, unsure what to make of this. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAyBgaHm2BB5
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZXOSnPzwLt
"I should be thanking you because you totally saved my- our bacon. But, who are you?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3qYAhYWBQ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyGHnkPLqBE
Jess gets the idea to toy with them a bit. "I'm sorry, Miss Stiefvater. I'm afraid I don't understand the question."131Please respect copyright.PENANAitfcelXfff
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnVLGwpoeMS
She's taken back a bit and trying not to laugh. "Very funny." Bella says annoyed, trying to keep it annoyed, but then bursts out laughing. Joe shakes his head, cracking a small grin. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAmu2J038RoV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAN0QcmmKmZV
She looks at Ren who's just standing there drugged out and confused. Ooh, fucking with her will be fun. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAATR2UWow79
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQD5kHhgXd7
"Ren, can you please escort me back to my dressing room."131Please respect copyright.PENANAMucmY4xwQk
131Please respect copyright.PENANAF9w8oXQuyQ
"Uh, sure." And Ren turns around starting to go there, but Bella calls her back.131Please respect copyright.PENANAloYQt1kUlH
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUObiu0jj1Z
"Okay, this funny. But enough, seriously. Who are you?" Maggie breaking down, laughing harder. Jess removes her contacts, putting them back in their little case and puts her glasses back on that we're hiding inside her costume. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAN0t2GMIg3P
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIJW54Ae9Vv
"Wait." Bella says, looking closely, and Jess pulls off the wig revaling her hair up in a bun. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAztnZxehqcg
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4O21mnjUzX
"Jesse's an android? Why would an android have been in a mental hospital?" Ren asks, speech now slurring. "Uh, Bella. Can you take Ren back outside, please?" Maggie requests. Joe leaves with them.131Please respect copyright.PENANAmJjIQ9EWnK
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPF2v0CdyWk
"My office, please. Ten minutes, put the security guard uniform back on." And Maggie walks away from her. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAznbvv4Ay5v
131Please respect copyright.PENANAH7i51erOt5
Jesse returns to Princess dressing room, changing, removing the makeup, collects her phone and neatens up the dressing room, then heads up to Maggie's office. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAAF63mgelog
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGioENJOnE4
On the way, she sees Ren inside the medical tent with Bella and Brianna. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA9qfLFMAi5L
131Please respect copyright.PENANAASY5gQ9LB4
Brianna's handing Ren a cup of water.131Please respect copyright.PENANA9gl7FEiccI

131Please respect copyright.PENANAixpevHnjo8
"Come in."131Please respect copyright.PENANAya15Fy7om1
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1UJhkLj2tv
She enters, Maggie at her desk. "Take a seat, Jesse."131Please respect copyright.PENANA7R43OLHsyg
131Please respect copyright.PENANAtDyGsAElOW
Jess slides into the chair opposite her, feeling anxious. She's going to be fired.131Please respect copyright.PENANAInsLXe6t9f
131Please respect copyright.PENANAtOFGdHuAe6
When Maggie opens a drawer, pulling out an enevlope, sliding it towards her. 131Please respect copyright.PENANADTgRYsK0bC
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkjD1ng0pYs
"What's this?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAxdYAiwHKvc

131Please respect copyright.PENANArQEoEdTAS8
"Thank you, Jess. You saved the show. I didn't ask you to get up there, you showed initative. Getting up there was unexpected as I've never had an employee do that before, but thank you. You've really been paying attention to your surroundings.131Please respect copyright.PENANAzJchcGK3RA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAa2LXrH7rRP

131Please respect copyright.PENANAWYnsOKAY3s
"At home."131Please respect copyright.PENANAG9lnQCEqzs

131Please respect copyright.PENANAggv2zQi3Fs
She nods softly and Maggie hands her one. "I'll call you a taxi. Make sure you eat something and get some sleep. I'll see you, Thursday."131Please respect copyright.PENANApTrSEi4xdb
131Please respect copyright.PENANATzqfsGW1lv
"Where's Anna?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAFHGm6TFidu
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnqupTc4FBZ
"There was an emergency at the hospital. She isn't in today I'm afraid."131Please respect copyright.PENANARS6sYu4nD6
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOk1WsCGPww
"Proably, Ren." Jess laughs a little and Maggie has an awkard expression on her face. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAaIyJxQfWoi
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZWIsEgZfVu
"Maggie, I'm sorry-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAO1lV7eoHoi
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjY987j0QBH
"It's okay. Uh, just go wait outside for the taxi. I'm going to send Ren home as well for the day. Please be nice to her."131Please respect copyright.PENANAzMK1Z0s65h
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1NO0CmR4DI
"If she keeps being nice to us."131Please respect copyright.PENANAUUVXMvUuMA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQFdIUvtuyA
Maggie nods, saying nothing and Jess leaves the building. She's outside waiting near the taxi zone when she sees a parked car, dark blue parked a short distance away. Someone sitting inside. It's hard to make out who it is, the sun glaring. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAbgyytw1J4r
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhzPqBeq7C4
She pulls out her phone, texting. There's a group chat set up with Johnthan, Maeve, Bobby and Douglas. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2Jal3mwK8
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzQmi4Om9vN
Jess: Are one of you stalking me right now?131Please respect copyright.PENANA8hJ1VDlgA0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJAvN7CaAXp
Severeal replies come back saying no, all online suprisingly. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA2jVkoAKyEN
131Please respect copyright.PENANAewF6Sh2V2e
Joththan: Read me the license plate.131Please respect copyright.PENANAtXz3mD8XOe
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdvkSLbRi0L
And she texts it to him. A moment later, he sends a screenshot. It's a file from inside the police network. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAxgJnYC4Wu7
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4TcJRPievg
A photo of Detective Clara Johnson, and the work cars registered to her, a work phone number - Desk and mobile, and other imformation.131Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pv3ruVBF6
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5tFQfENQzq
Bobby: Shit.131Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Oe6xcgWZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANASluMpWy2mC
Douglas: Why is she following you?131Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qes3mmBbo
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjH5udRiodx
Jess: I don't know, maybe cause the Hospital reported the Merge in my system to them, but as it was weeks later, it was not an arrestable offense.131Please respect copyright.PENANAjM5xY9w4nZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOXCvAq0bce
Douglas: This is bad.131Please respect copyright.PENANAhpIuGKZlap
131Please respect copyright.PENANA99OmUb3VJN
Jess: What do I do then? 131Please respect copyright.PENANA9lRucBGFpM
131Please respect copyright.PENANAoRm7y4kc2Q
Maeve: There's nothing you can do. Just go home and about your life as normal. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAW4SFfeiLEN
131Please respect copyright.PENANArkhR5iWl9m
She'll eventually stop tailing you when they realize there is nothing they can get you on. They'll think it was a one time incident and you proably bought it one time off the street. As long as it's not actively in your system if you're in hospital or somewhere one day, you'll be just fine.131Please respect copyright.PENANAirMHnEeVCy
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkLZ0sq8BSC
Jess: If you don't fuck up my life for me.131Please respect copyright.PENANAD2lPz47RzA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAANHGexWqOt
Bobby: We'll try not to.131Please respect copyright.PENANAWzKZoVeBA4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbf3iUgygjX
Douglas: Jess, again. I'm sorry. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAHJJdixtv0P
131Please respect copyright.PENANAEgvrb9Yuzi
Bobby: Sorry for what?131Please respect copyright.PENANA6REQe2pde7
131Please respect copyright.PENANAaedOE6ugGM
Maeve: Bobby, shut up.131Please respect copyright.PENANAsfRmrAVIED
131Please respect copyright.PENANAU0SdNv0s6h
Johnthan: I already warned you once, his a paying client. Don't make me repeat myself twice.131Please respect copyright.PENANAV7SWbCffG2
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnQwn8A1kNc
Jess: Wait, could they hack my phone?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAgLkGCQn8ES
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6kSW9VhjNz
Johnthan: They won't be able to. I installed spyware and encryption on your phone. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAsvnTt1gql5
131Please respect copyright.PENANA61w90o0fDO
They won't be able to break it, I promise you.131Please respect copyright.PENANAxxZMyXr7zT
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPTD4XSrimw
Jess: But you can see everything I do.131Please respect copyright.PENANADtE1uKH5ZC
131Please respect copyright.PENANABFZc0Lwi26
Douglas: Yes. So don't give me a reason to find a replacement you, Jesse.131Please respect copyright.PENANAfbB0Xm60lI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAKGMNghUuxQ
And then Douglas is offline.
