Blurring The Lines {14}

                I went back to the dorm building and let myself into the room. Jordan looked over at me and I swallowed my pride, hating that I had to do this.

                "You win, asshole," I said. Hey, I didn't have to be nice about it.

                Jordan raised an eyebrow. "What?"

                "They said something about meeting at the computer lab tonight. I don't know what that means, I don't even know if it means anything. That's your problem to figure out. You wanted information, there it is," I said, glaring at him. "Will you stop treating me like I have leprosy now?"

                Jordan smiled. "So, you're going to help us?"

                "If it means you'll quit avoiding me like the damn plague," I said, sitting down and rubbing my bad leg. I winced at the pain in it, cursing Jin. He didn't look heavy, but he still managed to take out my leg.

                "Come to dinner with me and my friends," Jordan said, standing up. "We can talk more."

                "I don't want to," I said. "You'll probably have them blocking off the elevator again."

                "That wasn't me," he said, shaking his head. "Look, I'm sorry we did that stuff to you. But we needed your help. You can't side with them."

                "I'm not siding with them. I didn't want to side with anyone. I'm saving my own ass here," I said.

                "Come to dinner," he said.

                I knew I better just play along until I could get him to believe me. So I reluctantly got up and followed him out of the room.

                He slowed his pace to match my slow one. We walked the path in silence, Jordan looking thoughtful.

                We reached the dining hall and I felt relieved that the elevator was free. I took it up, meeting Jordan at the stairs. We grabbed food and he led me over to a table where Lenny and Kate were. Ryan was noticeably absent.

                "Kai," Lenny greeted, looking at Jordan for answers.

                "He's going to help us," Jordan said. "Tell them what you heard Jin's group say, Kai."

                "Not much. Just something about meeting in the computer lab tonight," I said. "You wanted me to tell you what I heard, and that's what I'm doing. It's your problem to figure out what it means."

                "The computer lab?" Kate furrowed her brow. "What could they want with that?"

                "They have Amelia Bertrand with them," Lenny said. "She could do a lot in the computer lab. I heard she knows how to hack."

                "But would they need to go to the computer lab for that?" Jordan said. "She could hack from her own computer. It would probably be easier."

                "I don't know. I don't know anything about hacking," Lenny said with a shrug. He turned to me. "Did they say anything else?"

                "No," I said. "That's all I heard about it."

                "Most people clear out of the academic building by eight," Jordan said. "We should keep an eye on the computer lab tonight in case they do try to break in."
