*One week later*
“I think we’re all set.” She whispered, with a smile on her lips.
I looked up from my lap, eyes wide with surprised, “Are you serious?”
Sofia nodded, taking a seat across from me. “I want to double check a few things, but I think we can leave in the next hour.”
I blinked, “That was really quick. Are you sure we’re not going to end up in the middle of the ocean or something?”
She rolled her eyes, “You know how it works. You transport from pod to pod. If there was one in the house of where you lived, we can backtrack there.”
“Are you sure you want to go over there? It’s a lot rougher than here, I can assure you.”
“If she managed to live there until John killed her, I think I can. I know a little bit more about your culture than she did.” Sofia smirked.
I reached across the table, grabbing her hand. I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips, “Thank you, Sofia.”
She returned the smile, “No problem. We’re in this together. There really isn’t anywhere else we can go.”
“So tell me. If anything was to go wrong, what would happen?”
“A plethora of things could result in anything failing.”
I rolled my eyes, “What’s the most likely?”
“We get moved to a different pod, get caught and both of us get killed. If that happens, it’ll be on the Girls’ Side only.”
“How come?”
“Because your version of the Speed isn’t compatible with ours. I had to really mess with the bolts on my pod to get it to work.”
I nodded, not quite understanding. Sofia seemed to sense that, shaking her head in silent laughter.
“Relax, Clay. I think I’ve got it perfect.”
“We’ll find out, won’t we?”
“Do you trust me?” She asked, all laughter clear from her face. I looked up, her eyes staring into my own.
I nodded wordlessly.
“Then trust me when I say we’ll be fine.”
“I do trust you, Sofia. You’ve spared my life this long. I have to trust you by default.” I tried to make light of the situation.
She rolled her eyes, “You know what I mean.”
“Yeah, I do.” I nodded, “But I’m just trying to figure out what might happen if something went wrong.”
“We’ll be fine.”
“Really?”
“Maybe.”
“That’s encouraging.”
