Jess staggers in Tuesday morning. Her knee is getting better, she's no longer wearing the brace. All that rest actually helped.69Please respect copyright.PENANAT2kN7P7WHs
69Please respect copyright.PENANAJfLrrvH6Qo
"You're a little late." Bella says, standing right at the entrance booths.69Please respect copyright.PENANAqHPcQBf0Ab
69Please respect copyright.PENANARQVhNXjnlY
"I'm sorry."69Please respect copyright.PENANAwuz7Ausek2
69Please respect copyright.PENANA06y7It3hus
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAOvrsiNBqO9
69Please respect copyright.PENANAx4F42qpdkm
"Anyway, Jess, uh. I, Brianna and Joe want to plan to hang out after work and we'd like you to come with us."69Please respect copyright.PENANAe8Ihc6tMBF
69Please respect copyright.PENANA7rxR0xVErC
"Doing what?"69Please respect copyright.PENANA3z5mrHeEgT
69Please respect copyright.PENANATAJ0XntCdK
"We haven't figured that out yet. So, will you come with us?"69Please respect copyright.PENANA69E0qiRQDB
69Please respect copyright.PENANA71RBwp0JTA
She doesn't respond. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAUqKFrIdApQ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Q7tUvwCd
"You look a little tired."69Please respect copyright.PENANAbgpg8FUxFr
69Please respect copyright.PENANAMDvneuGQIe
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANApQRG7eq9Nv
69Please respect copyright.PENANAUhQPgiWfni
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAsBXUTNIql4
69Please respect copyright.PENANAmme09QguMg
Their proably burner numbers also. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAz3jjulRsvO
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZqfECC6ml0
"Please put your phone away, Jess."69Please respect copyright.PENANAkBU7vexlB5
69Please respect copyright.PENANAoXe5RGUnsx
She looks up, Maggie walking past. Anna following behind her. "You okay? You look distracted." Lou speaks up. His right behind Maggie.69Please respect copyright.PENANAGODpJJ7MI4
69Please respect copyright.PENANA1XldB6sUmN
Jess puts her phone away and looks to Bella, ignoring Lou. "What do I have to do today?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAJGk7E10f8T
69Please respect copyright.PENANAvSuFC65dWl
"You're scheduled on the main floor. Do you want to come out with us?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAFgOcH6263a
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnHRBkH2RKM
"I'll think about it." 69Please respect copyright.PENANAKm58VJcXOR
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0xkoVRyjoT
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANA8TnQZ9E3Ns
69Please respect copyright.PENANAy0vaG2TmnG
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANA6YDKBXtavs
69Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vvsqd5EHj
Dreamer is for the nursery, play zone for toddlers and some kids.69Please respect copyright.PENANACG0p5pe7W1
69Please respect copyright.PENANABzPKEE9l2M
And there is some generic androids who work the customer service desk. That's not alot of androids.69Please respect copyright.PENANAx3xRmH7I0t
69Please respect copyright.PENANANfluwe5DM5
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?69Please respect copyright.PENANAfB4bRMVf3E
69Please respect copyright.PENANAiPSLvrmQFX
"Hey."69Please respect copyright.PENANA8ca00Nl4yv
69Please respect copyright.PENANAbSLeyteSaS
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANA35UwYfUV83
69Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZDU8A869
She's sucking a lollpop. "You're late. Much later than I was." Jess tells her. "Is that your breakfast?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAMHRzY2pkKz
69Please respect copyright.PENANAPPk4soq11b
"....Yeah."69Please respect copyright.PENANA76Oh8uTV4c

"You okay? Like seriously. You seem really out of it, Ren."69Please respect copyright.PENANAumm6sQtv6Y
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtw16quTqPl
Usually Ren's a bitch, tormenting everyone. Her being this quiet and messy this morning is something new. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAPVsiMbgIx5
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzQf37GL69w
"Jesse..."69Please respect copyright.PENANAmgDDq7P9Vh

"For what? And really?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAOh8giXZaEw
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnaOxvg8nhq

69Please respect copyright.PENANAboAmZh9H6P
"What's wrong with you?"69Please respect copyright.PENANADMEnvbkN9H
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rh8S1MqT0
"My diagnosis or-"69Please respect copyright.PENANAuP7jnonilx
69Please respect copyright.PENANAObag701gKI
"You don't have to tell me your diagnosis. The other will do."69Please respect copyright.PENANAkXgEdeJEBO
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxV5N5HgcFT
"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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAeIIeL8KrIE
69Please respect copyright.PENANAbs96F2tt1N
I'm required to keep attending treatment or I will be recalled to the nut house."69Please respect copyright.PENANAhWvS3YOpKQ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAmbDHzOoCi2
"You're not crazy, Ren. Just sick."69Please respect copyright.PENANAvTKsn7j9NY
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAY86sZFCCm
"If you say so, Jess."69Please respect copyright.PENANAK7DQciaq27
69Please respect copyright.PENANAiYNb1PIroF
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAEwekGJ4iAd
69Please respect copyright.PENANArgUUPGzJUT
It's actually why I was in the hospital."69Please respect copyright.PENANAFVn0x9a5i1
69Please respect copyright.PENANA9hENZuKz9P
"Oh..."69Please respect copyright.PENANAKYMEWGFpqN
69Please respect copyright.PENANAd18ez3XkBU
"Yeah." Then Ren yawns heavily. "Catch you around, friend. Later." And she gives Jesse a small fist bump, walking off. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAovbKXIBRjd
69Please respect copyright.PENANAS7STDlQZip
Jesse's left standing alone and Bella slides up beside her. "That was... oddly weird."69Please respect copyright.PENANAXq9qWvJFx5
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFfMOzIFiC8
"She was injected with her meds at the hospital. It's why she was so late and so... calm."69Please respect copyright.PENANAxFeWmT5mof
69Please respect copyright.PENANAOOzkSRyS0e
"Oh, that explains it."69Please respect copyright.PENANAcxROkBT1MQ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAcVOxvD9qYA
"Is Anna around today?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAMEqc20Bwx1
69Please respect copyright.PENANAF72Jnk3r8e
"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."69Please respect copyright.PENANA25WuS87p5x
69Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntvTt9HWV
"Does today feel really weird to you, Bella?"69Please respect copyright.PENANARMDYdP6xAr
69Please respect copyright.PENANA2dyzwqovH6
"Actually, yes. It does."69Please respect copyright.PENANAtXyyx3f9MR
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwc75hhnqcF
When Bella's walkie talkie comes to life. "One moment, Jess." 69Please respect copyright.PENANAyRxxSBOwDj
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKmbhUz2McB
She takes a few steps away, talking to someone. "Damn it." Bella says hanging up. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAaBUnxdcdpl
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxFtCCjkrnk
"Everything okay, Bell?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAy2EOHBmoZ2
69Please respect copyright.PENANAw09qiKAhSQ
"Bell?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAGRdzB2nOUj
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxiyrFzCpue
"Sorry."69Please respect copyright.PENANARufR1lCQ7j
69Please respect copyright.PENANA4xjr85kZ8n
"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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAc67VTOHz7E
69Please respect copyright.PENANAl1jPEaukqn
Joe's got her in the warehouse trying to resolve it. I need to go talk to Maggie."69Please respect copyright.PENANAEzixftzki1
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxYGw8lzAJ8
And Bella leaves her alone, heading to the elevator. Jess turns around, looking at the stage. She could... get up there for them.69Please respect copyright.PENANAFPNAQzNvc4
69Please respect copyright.PENANAudvPzaYYGw
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Rwbiy02a
69Please respect copyright.PENANAX9yhA6To8v
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... 69Please respect copyright.PENANAkrqoEGRI2y
69Please respect copyright.PENANANiIliMwbOO
She slips backstage, finding it unlocked and slips into Princess dressing room, turning the lock.69Please respect copyright.PENANAu43bZ4GeB0
69Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ycVohnnL
She pulls out her phone and dials a contact.69Please respect copyright.PENANAZGSwmK6Jxk

"Do you need something, Jess?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAgLK3iur4Bu
69Please respect copyright.PENANAc7q1nDBzIC

69Please respect copyright.PENANAJMUUH6kVLh
"Like a crowd? You could get me a whole bunch of people?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAADuDghya6w
69Please respect copyright.PENANAsGhNiNvouA
"I don't understand-"69Please respect copyright.PENANA7vNd443RNx
69Please respect copyright.PENANAK6T8Lz97AT
"Guest turn out at work is slow today and the performance android, Princess is broken or something."69Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ko4u9gzHA
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkl6XMUZ3JT
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAqUUjh8NEiz
69Please respect copyright.PENANAV1X4avLm0n
"So you need what?"69Please respect copyright.PENANA1x42Nyy22E
69Please respect copyright.PENANAp5QHwpLRJZ
"A crowd."69Please respect copyright.PENANAsTD0eox381
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQHUy3zPC86
"Of people?"69Please respect copyright.PENANA291L7mYsAZ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAwHsexPBDQK
"Yeah."69Please respect copyright.PENANAq0pFk2wZvp
69Please respect copyright.PENANANADbAa5fwU
"I... can actually get you that. But if one of the androids are broken-"69Please respect copyright.PENANAE9yJYdtMOU
69Please respect copyright.PENANAc2MH5pY1gK
"I'll go up on stage."69Please respect copyright.PENANAYSOkcmQwcq
69Please respect copyright.PENANAE78mt6qKoc
"Can you sing?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAXOXd87nUcl
69Please respect copyright.PENANAv0kBExvijg
"Yes. I had another whole other life before I moved here."69Please respect copyright.PENANAsIKeaQiJjb
69Please respect copyright.PENANAt8G0yUXXFm
"Douglas left out a fair bit about you then."69Please respect copyright.PENANAT6IEjAT8KQ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAih22rwyxio
"So, a crowd? And how do I pay you?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAy4lqR0Yl39
69Please respect copyright.PENANA9cDHnPcSqI
"You're Douglas' informant. He fits the bill for anything you related. He wants his bussiness and old life back."69Please respect copyright.PENANAPv860NNgDW
69Please respect copyright.PENANAnrzDiPGql3
"But what if he doesn't pay-"69Please respect copyright.PENANA9WyNRQDlAO
69Please respect copyright.PENANA5cVQBZ1ovg
"He'll pay, Jess. I'll get you a crowd. Get dressed or whatever you need to do." 69Please respect copyright.PENANAlIFfQSE9FF
69Please respect copyright.PENANACPqic72IJQ
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANATCGzR66fId
69Please respect copyright.PENANArqZVtXaaDU
She logs into the app for them on her phone selecting the shiniest, bright silver that resembles Princess eyes. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAax30RPEOtd
69Please respect copyright.PENANAjXCS8son55
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANA8kikQXtwK5
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3tuAOjBkX8
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAhbta7O4fZ2
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlhGEl4MrGv
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANABIwjXkhEzy
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxAknDaPzce
Get to your position underneath the stage."69Please respect copyright.PENANA4joTbSYQ0O
69Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqvrYvV2N
"Of course,..." Then she reails off realizing she doesn't know this employees name.69Please respect copyright.PENANAwe6OQbKvKU
69Please respect copyright.PENANAYgUwBuBZFu
"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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAKdQwLBLyPL
69Please respect copyright.PENANANiPdkn3CSX
Princess skin feels very real, but there is a slight sytheticness you can feel in her touch.69Please respect copyright.PENANAPsMzrBduK7
69Please respect copyright.PENANAWRt8mSJVfp
Jess stands there waiting for showtime, Carly walks up placing a microphone set on Jess head, positioning it. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAglHJhbPjAw
69Please respect copyright.PENANAejwCVGdZNm
"Thank you, Carly."69Please respect copyright.PENANAxNNNMgWtLy
69Please respect copyright.PENANA27y8eP4l3R
"No problem, Princess."69Please respect copyright.PENANAcncQXH3Ou2
69Please respect copyright.PENANAu9HSufhNX9
Carly looks tired. What is with everyone today? Carly's tired and hasn't realized she's human.69Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBpy5HyD9
69Please respect copyright.PENANAES5aqb4Jrf
She hears music and the lift platform starts to rise, raising Jess up. There is smoke and lights everywhere.69Please respect copyright.PENANAuTETnbO7px
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3bBmaIi7Qj
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANARzhFaW8Lky
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkpVuiauLPH
Thank you, Bailey. It's time, and she starts Princess song, hitting every line in sync with the music and dancing perfectly. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAA27TsD81Ab
69Please respect copyright.PENANAogiET4X54e
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANACDz4dVNTG4
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6GxX1mzUYw
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAmCi45y0eg0
69Please respect copyright.PENANACfvHwv65S8
She straightens up and Joe steps towards her, shining a light in her eyes. She tries not to react.69Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Gah1Una0
69Please respect copyright.PENANAT0DmQOHx45
"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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAFgNBuIzFyb
The real Princess is proably still in the warehouse. I'll check." He says, taking a step back. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAIggVocScXr
69Please respect copyright.PENANAoshXLN7ZlO
"Who are you? I didn't have time to call a replacement in." Maggie says slowly, unsure what to make of this. 69Please respect copyright.PENANA0t1pnlECmu
69Please respect copyright.PENANAEPqwF69O0e
"I should be thanking you because you totally saved my- our bacon. But, who are you?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAanOpSFK55P
69Please respect copyright.PENANAT0SM4C0NgP
Jess gets the idea to toy with them a bit. "I'm sorry, Miss Stiefvater. I'm afraid I don't understand the question."69Please respect copyright.PENANAhHTLcjHSOK
69Please respect copyright.PENANAQapRXWjT4R
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANA8IVvvrL7y8
69Please respect copyright.PENANAP2AfpKLjnn
She looks at Ren who's just standing there drugged out and confused. Ooh, fucking with her will be fun. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAXNBsTiAWbw
69Please respect copyright.PENANAkrE8190rX0
"Ren, can you please escort me back to my dressing room."69Please respect copyright.PENANA7DO37mvhb9
69Please respect copyright.PENANAf7SzbK6bYy
"Uh, sure." And Ren turns around starting to go there, but Bella calls her back.69Please respect copyright.PENANA2GABtC5WRo
69Please respect copyright.PENANArbldDpCuLA
"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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAmOgpS9k3jA
69Please respect copyright.PENANA4kpvRsTtb5
"Wait." Bella says, looking closely, and Jess pulls off the wig revaling her hair up in a bun. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAU0P5eGLeeJ
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuPian7uRSU
"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.69Please respect copyright.PENANA2QSm1m0OGU
69Please respect copyright.PENANArvBvfYH3R5
"My office, please. Ten minutes, put the security guard uniform back on." And Maggie walks away from her. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAUkMzTkjMnB
69Please respect copyright.PENANAGotR8N3hkW
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAxBn0ZTb8JL
69Please respect copyright.PENANAlgcgtmXwVi
On the way, she sees Ren inside the medical tent with Bella and Brianna. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAtLYVYtX8Sv

She enters, Maggie at her desk. "Take a seat, Jesse."69Please respect copyright.PENANAXcNuWQMSy1
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0chQH4u2dz
Jess slides into the chair opposite her, feeling anxious. She's going to be fired.69Please respect copyright.PENANAZR2aSAG3o2

69Please respect copyright.PENANALLe3GE2bIl

"Proably, Ren." Jess laughs a little and Maggie has an awkard expression on her face. 69Please respect copyright.PENANANo3YCbilhL
69Please respect copyright.PENANARPEce54KLC
"Maggie, I'm sorry-"69Please respect copyright.PENANAm912LrtICP
69Please respect copyright.PENANAxMooDKxd8G
"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."69Please respect copyright.PENANARSs7wlHCvF
69Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2LYf7rTR4
"If she keeps being nice to us."69Please respect copyright.PENANARsXOpM0GNO
69Please respect copyright.PENANACoyGD2A6Ew
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. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAmajQKzFwjO
69Please respect copyright.PENANA83wkVapGv9
She pulls out her phone, texting. There's a group chat set up with Johnthan, Maeve, Bobby and Douglas. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAVKmkAsAcRe
69Please respect copyright.PENANAuNLzqF8AyR
Jess: Are one of you stalking me right now?69Please respect copyright.PENANAdiCxP6J4tS
69Please respect copyright.PENANAjCCMN7g1Fa
Severeal replies come back saying no, all online suprisingly. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAolHB6oeWJN
69Please respect copyright.PENANAf909PlLiPm
Joththan: Read me the license plate.69Please respect copyright.PENANAzl9lEDfZ2B
69Please respect copyright.PENANA6ADowy7yy2
And she texts it to him. A moment later, he sends a screenshot. It's a file from inside the police network. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAcppsGSOuV6
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAw7EOQcymm
A photo of Detective Clara Johnson, and the work cars registered to her, a work phone number - Desk and mobile, and other imformation.69Please respect copyright.PENANAsOV23Nuj1v
69Please respect copyright.PENANA2FETfHiGGc
Bobby: Shit.69Please respect copyright.PENANAlKTNlIDksO
69Please respect copyright.PENANAvxYXQ7h90c
Douglas: Why is she following you?69Please respect copyright.PENANAGAz2DXkzS1
69Please respect copyright.PENANAdFpeueZ9Yy
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAMvqC4KfNRG
69Please respect copyright.PENANAtGuX8IRn8S
Douglas: This is bad.69Please respect copyright.PENANAgLO4SSy47Z
69Please respect copyright.PENANAFG2rUUlo9z
Jess: What do I do then? 69Please respect copyright.PENANAfOuvEKb6l7
69Please respect copyright.PENANAaqi7VwkHSm
Maeve: There's nothing you can do. Just go home and about your life as normal. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAfdAQpgNzih
69Please respect copyright.PENANAKxJTy6wjlf
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.69Please respect copyright.PENANAJlQwpfWVT9
69Please respect copyright.PENANAqo1BiOzJKs
Jess: If you don't fuck up my life for me.69Please respect copyright.PENANAfjxqB8aQhv
69Please respect copyright.PENANA3VeeOKfMfe
Bobby: We'll try not to.69Please respect copyright.PENANAggxmon14Kj
69Please respect copyright.PENANA0bvwGjw2Q1
Douglas: Jess, again. I'm sorry. 69Please respect copyright.PENANAde43r0C3y2
69Please respect copyright.PENANAAVBS479GsN
Bobby: Sorry for what?69Please respect copyright.PENANAO4clPoiJ5U
69Please respect copyright.PENANAhZXZ6QXReu
Maeve: Bobby, shut up.69Please respect copyright.PENANAbrt0A9FEoE
69Please respect copyright.PENANA276eoUK1TI
Johnthan: I already warned you once, his a paying client. Don't make me repeat myself twice.69Please respect copyright.PENANAZEhtg3861D
69Please respect copyright.PENANAeM4lLM383A
Jess: Wait, could they hack my phone?"69Please respect copyright.PENANAPEgkA14SyO
69Please respect copyright.PENANAATn5EgiFI1
Johnthan: They won't be able to. I installed spyware and encryption on your phone. 69Please respect copyright.PENANArpXWoFfJ4M
69Please respect copyright.PENANASYNS4ztKIT
They won't be able to break it, I promise you.69Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q1byGxzCF
69Please respect copyright.PENANAzUtOFmSbia
Jess: But you can see everything I do.69Please respect copyright.PENANA86mpsZx6CD
69Please respect copyright.PENANAK3wUBOhYwP
Douglas: Yes. So don't give me a reason to find a replacement you, Jesse.69Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bm3MFu0pu
69Please respect copyright.PENANA9q2y6TApGM
And then Douglas is offline.
