#verse 20

“Oh, Del? She’s one of the best friends I could ask for. She’s like a mother to me. She always knows the right thing to say when I’m having a hard time, and I’d love to return the favor. At this point, I would trust her with just about anything.”

She stood up and straightened her jacket, trying to appear calm and collected, though she very much was not. “Yes. Please. Let’s go.”

I thought… I don't know what I thought.” Well, at least this wasn't a negative reaction. She just had to make sure not to screw it up. “Why? You're the nicest person I've ever known. You're funny and friendly and…” she trailed off. “Honestly, I've never met someone I've liked - in any meaning of the word - as much as you. I don't even know how to put it into words.” God, that sounded so stupid. She smiled sheepishly, wondering how Eddie would take this.

Are they still alive?” Her voice was shaky, but she calmed herself down. Alright. She could do this. She reached into her suit jacket and quickly drew out her gun, pointing it at the woman. “What. The hell. Is going on?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll catch you!”

So now, she was here. In the cold, alone, far from civilization, with the wind blowing in her face. She hoped she’d arrive soon.

@symmetrixx Estelle was only half listening to the television as she sketched out some design ideas. Suddenly, she jolted up and paid closer attention. Yes, she heard right. Vishkar was coming here? She’d have to go and see them. She knew about the controversies surrounding its work ethic, but… they still had some of the best technology in the world. She wrote down the date on a scrap piece of paper, though she knew that she wouldn’t forget. When the day arrived, she set out early and took with her quite a bit of money; she did not want to miss out on anything. Estelle knew that they wouldn't want many people looking at their inventions because of the risk or theft, but she at least hoped they would answer some questions. She saw a uniformed woman working on something and approached her without hesitation. "Excuse me, miss? Can you tell me what's going on?"
