Jess staggers in Tuesday morning. Her knee is getting better, she's no longer wearing the brace. All that rest actually helped.134Please respect copyright.PENANA2agAZeOUyW
134Please respect copyright.PENANAxZERbu8Z0O
"You're a little late." Bella says, standing right at the entrance booths.134Please respect copyright.PENANADvVg4wnqEp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAHNg5LtejqO
"I'm sorry."134Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Zgf6UiVk
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQQIwMxkvwY
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANA8vZRFRUtmi
134Please respect copyright.PENANAp9c67AyFsn
"Anyway, Jess, uh. I, Brianna and Joe want to plan to hang out after work and we'd like you to come with us."134Please respect copyright.PENANA6dmknz2aM7
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwaUm9WU7xy
"Doing what?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAPxk46u8GGF
134Please respect copyright.PENANAosxpW2NHpo
"We haven't figured that out yet. So, will you come with us?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAFZGtiHWRUk
134Please respect copyright.PENANAObsZZqUyxy
She doesn't respond. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAlTnZ3iZp9i
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIiJY9If9Ig
"You look a little tired."134Please respect copyright.PENANATix19eYDru
134Please respect copyright.PENANA880AKgQIUD
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAF2clRAvOik
134Please respect copyright.PENANAL8azpOc2NL
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANA1ObXiNRy1i
134Please respect copyright.PENANAt57Td2Vx16
Their proably burner numbers also. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAQKhO8Q3Zjp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMsr3UTSSuj
"Please put your phone away, Jess."134Please respect copyright.PENANA2hsclprVmK
134Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9VATha3Yi
She looks up, Maggie walking past. Anna following behind her. "You okay? You look distracted." Lou speaks up. His right behind Maggie.134Please respect copyright.PENANAbVSkz0ElhE
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMNWHWJgCLE
Jess puts her phone away and looks to Bella, ignoring Lou. "What do I have to do today?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAkG4uW9QfaJ
134Please respect copyright.PENANATXjVHnMMuR
"You're scheduled on the main floor. Do you want to come out with us?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAlaXW1uZSWB
134Please respect copyright.PENANAEsdyrl0uqq
"I'll think about it." 134Please respect copyright.PENANAfAhcsg24x2
134Please respect copyright.PENANAOP00hwZBkh
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANABPsMUhRjoR
134Please respect copyright.PENANAySJ8KamXVJ
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAXzixKkx7fp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVFkvEjaax0
Dreamer is for the nursery, play zone for toddlers and some kids.134Please respect copyright.PENANAXidDfdLcN5
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhvSPrvEAcS
And there is some generic androids who work the customer service desk. That's not alot of androids.134Please respect copyright.PENANAGyEWGFhOKp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJM5lTRLrjS
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?134Please respect copyright.PENANAE3E7DixUBo
134Please respect copyright.PENANArXWud8g6ew
"Hey."134Please respect copyright.PENANAeP03a2vRMX
134Please respect copyright.PENANA16faekOYsE
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAVlnTuv8fGz
134Please respect copyright.PENANAzjt2kI0fyu
She's sucking a lollpop. "You're late. Much later than I was." Jess tells her. "Is that your breakfast?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAe6tSr2q9AE
134Please respect copyright.PENANADRjHZP6iAY
"....Yeah."134Please respect copyright.PENANAG7LT2GQkXC
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMYiVc6QN7c
"You okay? Like seriously. You seem really out of it, Ren."134Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3qEQXvrtl
134Please respect copyright.PENANAYfhLrDQTFv
Usually Ren's a bitch, tormenting everyone. Her being this quiet and messy this morning is something new. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAEnrzeATABc
134Please respect copyright.PENANA431ELe35z6
"Jesse..."134Please respect copyright.PENANAwNMUUVaREe
134Please respect copyright.PENANAzJleHoEGi9

134Please respect copyright.PENANAJb97QM8ges
"For what? And really?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAD7AwaST3FY
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFj2tbVoJuI
"No, I'm not. It's just what people expect to hear though. Socially acceptable and blah, blah nonsence."134Please respect copyright.PENANAbOuDlzzCEF
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0vngDAEEmh
"What's wrong with you?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAklJ3QkjdC3
134Please respect copyright.PENANAk6yTH7DHu6
"My diagnosis or-"134Please respect copyright.PENANAIzQrcbTz6P
134Please respect copyright.PENANATksqaFIbNS
"You don't have to tell me your diagnosis. The other will do."134Please respect copyright.PENANAcmo8pmVNKY
134Please respect copyright.PENANAbGpZzFyRr0
"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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAc69AMgpQwB
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMr5ilODDxU
I'm required to keep attending treatment or I will be recalled to the nut house."134Please respect copyright.PENANAykSCUhuZlV
134Please respect copyright.PENANA04ZI6xzpvf
"You're not crazy, Ren. Just sick."134Please respect copyright.PENANAG7FvgdplqP
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7gpIUSFMrJ
"If you say so, Jess."134Please respect copyright.PENANAgJcPXnXIpm
134Please respect copyright.PENANAeTNQ069xPh
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAwLedy3lCoc
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQMoVwOXlhn
It's actually why I was in the hospital."134Please respect copyright.PENANAKjhwGHdEn8
134Please respect copyright.PENANAczSTevVYXk
"Oh..."134Please respect copyright.PENANA09zMDvdHnY
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsb3CZJ2RQ7
"Yeah." Then Ren yawns heavily. "Catch you around, friend. Later." And she gives Jesse a small fist bump, walking off. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAhU2LPqwc5H
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6bXFvxDbP6
Jesse's left standing alone and Bella slides up beside her. "That was... oddly weird."134Please respect copyright.PENANAWa9NeAZLQ1
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvda49MvU7c
"She was injected with her meds at the hospital. It's why she was so late and so... calm."134Please respect copyright.PENANAnHwqm7RRHD
134Please respect copyright.PENANAUgoefk68Qg
"Oh, that explains it."134Please respect copyright.PENANAMQRrGDInIE
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgmZDI33009
"Is Anna around today?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAtbPTPWJoxK
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhqiY0SZcuJ
"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."134Please respect copyright.PENANAlyJjzkL5Na
134Please respect copyright.PENANAogzAQuRzt1
"Does today feel really weird to you, Bella?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAwUrDpHGUap
134Please respect copyright.PENANAav1WDcj4yb
"Actually, yes. It does."134Please respect copyright.PENANAxxDkUi5T5v
134Please respect copyright.PENANA8OF1KLVZeY
When Bella's walkie talkie comes to life. "One moment, Jess." 134Please respect copyright.PENANA8KsZEE5ZGt
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjTOkGVifGw
She takes a few steps away, talking to someone. "Damn it." Bella says hanging up. 134Please respect copyright.PENANARp7R45G9Fl
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJcIcnTij4t
"Everything okay, Bell?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAWdmAOj2gcW
134Please respect copyright.PENANASawxvIzzlV
"Bell?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAkelaxtyacr
134Please respect copyright.PENANAToYyx0njoY
"Sorry."134Please respect copyright.PENANAbjozG760ER
134Please respect copyright.PENANAReujQw9OK9
"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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAvo5Bu1qOyW
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0LgNW2vs86
Joe's got her in the warehouse trying to resolve it. I need to go talk to Maggie."134Please respect copyright.PENANAOC3s6ASkyz
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0XmubHFm3S
And Bella leaves her alone, heading to the elevator. Jess turns around, looking at the stage. She could... get up there for them.134Please respect copyright.PENANAbYaFnuFIca
134Please respect copyright.PENANAN2tx1jOL5Z
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAAokeaU5Wmn
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvLaR1t8oY7
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... 134Please respect copyright.PENANAGdDUQj8hhp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuXCoEKxJIY
She slips backstage, finding it unlocked and slips into Princess dressing room, turning the lock.134Please respect copyright.PENANA4PZ5JkVvyE
134Please respect copyright.PENANAI3iIbIYV27
She pulls out her phone and dials a contact.134Please respect copyright.PENANABwo4ZfBHlf
"Bailey."134Please respect copyright.PENANA01blcXsE6G
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGBET5vGGw0
They answer in once ring.134Please respect copyright.PENANAK610BeRE7K
134Please respect copyright.PENANACQGDPn8YfG
"Johnthan?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAACj2ctmBkw
134Please respect copyright.PENANARwc0nFd4FE
"Do you need something, Jess?"134Please respect copyright.PENANABYQ12crmG8
134Please respect copyright.PENANAj4TtuEpLiM
"When you said if I ever need anything. Do you mean just drugs or-"134Please respect copyright.PENANAY9f91sUOoz
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3IG4PEYzRz
"I meant anything."134Please respect copyright.PENANAylivypjjvu
134Please respect copyright.PENANAYlMFmxE1Bz
"Like a crowd? You could get me a whole bunch of people?"134Please respect copyright.PENANADxgavZ7ifN
134Please respect copyright.PENANAu4EuduI0dQ
"I don't understand-"134Please respect copyright.PENANACJEfvQC6pd
134Please respect copyright.PENANATZsE95DYfw
"Guest turn out at work is slow today and the performance android, Princess is broken or something."134Please respect copyright.PENANA8KkrBDHDeD
134Please respect copyright.PENANA5LyGAW61WY
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAtES4uka8c9
134Please respect copyright.PENANAiJH0a5Wbd6
"So you need what?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAzrdpE3niOI
134Please respect copyright.PENANAzbhHFeuIju
"A crowd."134Please respect copyright.PENANAVcHr7GhTKW
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6SjwyQeVt0
"Of people?"134Please respect copyright.PENANArUVfC9lHCb
134Please respect copyright.PENANASpbRCzBN0s
"Yeah."134Please respect copyright.PENANA6XOcXe8MBu
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgJQvwfxRNn
"I... can actually get you that. But if one of the androids are broken-"134Please respect copyright.PENANAel6zjKFXey
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgWOHrSTBN2
"I'll go up on stage."134Please respect copyright.PENANAQPCKNDlLne
134Please respect copyright.PENANA79W25ilrq3
"Can you sing?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAKuXOlTYALX
134Please respect copyright.PENANAHQcUfUbTP6
"Yes. I had another whole other life before I moved here."134Please respect copyright.PENANATAhomFhLbM
134Please respect copyright.PENANAhkWpriBLZ3
"Douglas left out a fair bit about you then."134Please respect copyright.PENANAPEfJppXMWY
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6tsmTG4J5b
"So, a crowd? And how do I pay you?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAcuIWSrPx8v
134Please respect copyright.PENANAph1uiM5WBG
"You're Douglas' informant. He fits the bill for anything you related. He wants his bussiness and old life back."134Please respect copyright.PENANAHNC0TTOOQb
134Please respect copyright.PENANAAn2K69c7YU
"But what if he doesn't pay-"134Please respect copyright.PENANAru8hHMsaks
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0LIFk0A6
"He'll pay, Jess. I'll get you a crowd. Get dressed or whatever you need to do." 134Please respect copyright.PENANAEwKCRynWfS
134Please respect copyright.PENANAmcTOjaFrnz
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAbFvRjgl78e
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWz999cttSu
She logs into the app for them on her phone selecting the shiniest, bright silver that resembles Princess eyes. 134Please respect copyright.PENANARDe1N2LtGd
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdlC5U1nB2w
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAM4EDFotXej
134Please respect copyright.PENANAqwzfdC6OqH
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAK1VuHIAbdG
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFepVxieKqR
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAAvDcD7wNOz
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7vyyBZc04Q
Get to your position underneath the stage."134Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYVV6L00H
134Please respect copyright.PENANAfuEqkuUHD6
"Of course,..." Then she reails off realizing she doesn't know this employees name.134Please respect copyright.PENANAuNzba6cDc5
134Please respect copyright.PENANAUB2kP4GCrv
"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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAaPSS2qMdSU
134Please respect copyright.PENANAwyTCroZzLL
Princess skin feels very real, but there is a slight sytheticness you can feel in her touch.134Please respect copyright.PENANAIdjW5A0FyO
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3C6ke682Fz
Jess stands there waiting for showtime, Carly walks up placing a microphone set on Jess head, positioning it. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAfTKok2Efgq
134Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pa7zCZGND
"Thank you, Carly."134Please respect copyright.PENANAKVBVZWKq16
134Please respect copyright.PENANAtNrFn90XaW
"No problem, Princess."134Please respect copyright.PENANAelEyiIPGyt
134Please respect copyright.PENANAW56Vm1yqnw
Carly looks tired. What is with everyone today? Carly's tired and hasn't realized she's human.134Please respect copyright.PENANAJbDAWvD315
134Please respect copyright.PENANAj67dex6qkR
She hears music and the lift platform starts to rise, raising Jess up. There is smoke and lights everywhere.134Please respect copyright.PENANA2VzDYgBok3
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnn5la4bHS0
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAVB3T9fOhIv
134Please respect copyright.PENANAspmGteI6LF
Thank you, Bailey. It's time, and she starts Princess song, hitting every line in sync with the music and dancing perfectly. 134Please respect copyright.PENANA0EWQhmgfzp
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnL0QNxgRLY
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAFzZIOMoLNy
134Please respect copyright.PENANAlaah3ovTkC
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANApfE2qZTSc4
134Please respect copyright.PENANAnKvYWAhKKE
She straightens up and Joe steps towards her, shining a light in her eyes. She tries not to react.134Please respect copyright.PENANAJZRrtaHG5w
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjkwCZEo2l8
"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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAM3E2zA8IXz
The real Princess is proably still in the warehouse. I'll check." He says, taking a step back. 134Please respect copyright.PENANALBd6ZOUzp1
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0d5PntyueJ
"Who are you? I didn't have time to call a replacement in." Maggie says slowly, unsure what to make of this. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAFpsZCoV1dJ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAN6XPsSgxnX
"I should be thanking you because you totally saved my- our bacon. But, who are you?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAvYMreSTWgS
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGhv1r9wOg4
Jess gets the idea to toy with them a bit. "I'm sorry, Miss Stiefvater. I'm afraid I don't understand the question."134Please respect copyright.PENANAwqCCw2ObbN
134Please respect copyright.PENANAS8L5iq2O9P
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAYQnr4ag0zO
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGxFD8M7Nfx
She looks at Ren who's just standing there drugged out and confused. Ooh, fucking with her will be fun. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAvEQ1KezQii
134Please respect copyright.PENANAgg05UqnLC3
"Ren, can you please escort me back to my dressing room."134Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ8xoluaCb
134Please respect copyright.PENANAsFuO0Jr2is
"Uh, sure." And Ren turns around starting to go there, but Bella calls her back.134Please respect copyright.PENANAT3hI7UmkrL
134Please respect copyright.PENANAiqdXUEh9xl
"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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAAkgjTJCbFG
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7EsUUBy2vj
"Wait." Bella says, looking closely, and Jess pulls off the wig revaling her hair up in a bun. 134Please respect copyright.PENANA7YzAPMTk1o
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWpfVvyemb1
"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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAmEaNgdZOFb
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFgis9lUVa8
"My office, please. Ten minutes, put the security guard uniform back on." And Maggie walks away from her. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAs39XuAVdHq
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9mzCsdBps4
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANANNRo8plyPB
134Please respect copyright.PENANA0pxQOK38z1
On the way, she sees Ren inside the medical tent with Bella and Brianna. 134Please respect copyright.PENANApID0sO89wE
134Please respect copyright.PENANAv19WJ7Dpsb
Brianna's handing Ren a cup of water.134Please respect copyright.PENANA6qxUrjgEPj

134Please respect copyright.PENANAcKTEQggoDH
"Come in."134Please respect copyright.PENANAyMkmoAey0d
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFzgo0CUemI
She enters, Maggie at her desk. "Take a seat, Jesse."134Please respect copyright.PENANAPOMxg6wzT1
134Please respect copyright.PENANAaRyi2EHjEU
Jess slides into the chair opposite her, feeling anxious. She's going to be fired.134Please respect copyright.PENANAhZwljuVpUY
134Please respect copyright.PENANAUaGi6YIRhN
When Maggie opens a drawer, pulling out an enevlope, sliding it towards her. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAjmP6pOdtAI
134Please respect copyright.PENANAcXOLnPg7tp
"What's this?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAEyfmb0hgsB

134Please respect copyright.PENANAqgRGebdUYs
"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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAvxFIXdN6VB
134Please respect copyright.PENANAkg8UwaZpwy
I thought you we're Princess at first when Bella came and got me. It's why I bought Joe with me, Bella wasn't sure if you we're human or actually her."134Please respect copyright.PENANAfrvWIKVj5D

"At home."134Please respect copyright.PENANA3AFynrrwDq
134Please respect copyright.PENANAQxfa6O4vdp
"Do you want the $20?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAfItbdbNEsh
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3gfvA5e2DP
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."134Please respect copyright.PENANAqibkWr6Wjk
134Please respect copyright.PENANAO1bS6Uk6V7
"Where's Anna?"134Please respect copyright.PENANA6j66Yd14s4
134Please respect copyright.PENANAVVhBvmhrQA
"There was an emergency at the hospital. She isn't in today I'm afraid."134Please respect copyright.PENANATYXYPwi7cA
134Please respect copyright.PENANArPt0P260Gm
"Proably, Ren." Jess laughs a little and Maggie has an awkard expression on her face. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAyvcYI0r5rw
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvthm0BMqum
"Maggie, I'm sorry-"134Please respect copyright.PENANA95OfU0YPQR
134Please respect copyright.PENANAuj8GfJCMt3
"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."134Please respect copyright.PENANAXtzWaazQ9y
134Please respect copyright.PENANA6xOZTQtAmM
"If she keeps being nice to us."134Please respect copyright.PENANATelBdjWrge
134Please respect copyright.PENANAWD2PVC8HBI
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. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAYu63mE9rhN
134Please respect copyright.PENANAz1L0bJo5FK
She pulls out her phone, texting. There's a group chat set up with Johnthan, Maeve, Bobby and Douglas. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAduJghQvDtx
134Please respect copyright.PENANAdFKgFddLf1
Jess: Are one of you stalking me right now?134Please respect copyright.PENANAZt8W8QeX1g
134Please respect copyright.PENANAkTGr7ufMfY
Severeal replies come back saying no, all online suprisingly. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAsuI7LAWnbb
134Please respect copyright.PENANAvm2Q8wxXIv
Joththan: Read me the license plate.134Please respect copyright.PENANAFqaZfxj7Hf
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9VRFZSwQOI
And she texts it to him. A moment later, he sends a screenshot. It's a file from inside the police network. 134Please respect copyright.PENANA6YyXWCWANs
134Please respect copyright.PENANAL3OUVlKO2R
A photo of Detective Clara Johnson, and the work cars registered to her, a work phone number - Desk and mobile, and other imformation.134Please respect copyright.PENANAagdAaax249
134Please respect copyright.PENANAlK0WytyKZH
Bobby: Shit.134Please respect copyright.PENANAKbaluUqhzJ
134Please respect copyright.PENANAfcM57m2ZTZ
Douglas: Why is she following you?134Please respect copyright.PENANAvs86i2uc61
134Please respect copyright.PENANAMgO3ANhYTH
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANA2Flfgc2JJO
134Please respect copyright.PENANA3IwCXp7KRc
Douglas: This is bad.134Please respect copyright.PENANA8ByPTpLz6O
134Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6GjCLncE
Jess: What do I do then? 134Please respect copyright.PENANAa845lD2Hl8
134Please respect copyright.PENANAXHejgAfGkk
Maeve: There's nothing you can do. Just go home and about your life as normal. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAYvSU99J84n
134Please respect copyright.PENANARiSFbJV5Fi
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.134Please respect copyright.PENANAseElwQoR1l
134Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQbawoGua
Jess: If you don't fuck up my life for me.134Please respect copyright.PENANAN46u7j60xX
134Please respect copyright.PENANAxiEwC2xjEN
Bobby: We'll try not to.134Please respect copyright.PENANAbCNGUpHyuf
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjxAkxOELBS
Douglas: Jess, again. I'm sorry. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAdie8gNLYjF
134Please respect copyright.PENANAJKbFAwGHP5
Bobby: Sorry for what?134Please respect copyright.PENANA4LXhezclIl
134Please respect copyright.PENANANVxoGsiC10
Maeve: Bobby, shut up.134Please respect copyright.PENANAVGsCoDup5e
134Please respect copyright.PENANAOOraCAgcsa
Johnthan: I already warned you once, his a paying client. Don't make me repeat myself twice.134Please respect copyright.PENANAkxQuCEg8pN
134Please respect copyright.PENANAjeVA5RXnkK
Jess: Wait, could they hack my phone?"134Please respect copyright.PENANAuTgSjHwV9b
134Please respect copyright.PENANAGLP9cXWJ8c
Johnthan: They won't be able to. I installed spyware and encryption on your phone. 134Please respect copyright.PENANAs3LrEDFW5i
134Please respect copyright.PENANAIR6DJeLlXI
They won't be able to break it, I promise you.134Please respect copyright.PENANAizualrGfDS
134Please respect copyright.PENANA9NEcS9NNH9
Jess: But you can see everything I do.134Please respect copyright.PENANAay0xSSDWBA
134Please respect copyright.PENANAfYHyf8Cugg
Douglas: Yes. So don't give me a reason to find a replacement you, Jesse.134Please respect copyright.PENANAD699r30mpv
134Please respect copyright.PENANA544RHIn3ns
And then Douglas is offline.
