Jess staggers in Tuesday morning. Her knee is getting better, she's no longer wearing the brace. All that rest actually helped.130Please respect copyright.PENANA9rL6XgYhEX
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjLIkZX8Rww
"You're a little late." Bella says, standing right at the entrance booths.130Please respect copyright.PENANAH8R7iEjufQ
130Please respect copyright.PENANABNlOtTyY02
"I'm sorry."130Please respect copyright.PENANAAmw0RHNo2w
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPkEMzPe7Mh
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA0JRTCJFHL7
130Please respect copyright.PENANAeaaKUA8rX1
"Anyway, Jess, uh. I, Brianna and Joe want to plan to hang out after work and we'd like you to come with us."130Please respect copyright.PENANA19SVRvsTRN
130Please respect copyright.PENANAmdm88y4sw1
"Doing what?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAPSzWldGzKj
130Please respect copyright.PENANADoCrkXn1Jc
"We haven't figured that out yet. So, will you come with us?"130Please respect copyright.PENANArFFfDpPBGr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPSuUYCapMi
She doesn't respond. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAA5eIKYzNqO
130Please respect copyright.PENANAoR9PfuAV7l
"You look a little tired."130Please respect copyright.PENANAx2EFtD4uy2
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlE0UZqG7XB
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA1R0EiNjJls
130Please respect copyright.PENANADrpWmVxIkf
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANASkCIGuTI7Y
130Please respect copyright.PENANArqEChIRgJH
Their proably burner numbers also. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAMIS6gac0Nk
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbPgtaxpj4q
"Please put your phone away, Jess."130Please respect copyright.PENANA5lBxTQDWYh
130Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ykS75lV0
She looks up, Maggie walking past. Anna following behind her. "You okay? You look distracted." Lou speaks up. His right behind Maggie.130Please respect copyright.PENANAXHUciPuarn
130Please respect copyright.PENANAH9IdalGvCo
Jess puts her phone away and looks to Bella, ignoring Lou. "What do I have to do today?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAxLnxjxx92O
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2mhpbrsGiA
"You're scheduled on the main floor. Do you want to come out with us?"130Please respect copyright.PENANA6OB1VXsDyT
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4BwmCa2u97
"I'll think about it." 130Please respect copyright.PENANA7dAMwbuNC4
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4Apo61sRtK
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAFuB499u7N6
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZloGSN9lBq
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAiO2I5UGe9R
130Please respect copyright.PENANA49toLxFN6z
Dreamer is for the nursery, play zone for toddlers and some kids.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1YNdatAXca
130Please respect copyright.PENANACTMb9bcQLc
And there is some generic androids who work the customer service desk. That's not alot of androids.130Please respect copyright.PENANAAa8y8rGw6d
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlxBuvWolmc
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?130Please respect copyright.PENANAXrPRn134vn
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPzgQVkreAw
"Hey."130Please respect copyright.PENANA5mWJyz42RK
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4D8ygwKCl1
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAk5hK9njylp
130Please respect copyright.PENANAlnLcAr8nnd
She's sucking a lollpop. "You're late. Much later than I was." Jess tells her. "Is that your breakfast?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAmVYH51aVOm
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbEKLorA6VI

"You okay? Like seriously. You seem really out of it, Ren."130Please respect copyright.PENANAwQEiiinNYM
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyGuKKQpkA7
Usually Ren's a bitch, tormenting everyone. Her being this quiet and messy this morning is something new. 130Please respect copyright.PENANADpefrRmSOR
130Please respect copyright.PENANAu3aCDeUJIK
"Jesse..."130Please respect copyright.PENANA0OpGE7fybp

"For what? And really?"130Please respect copyright.PENANACmiAwHIvpe
130Please respect copyright.PENANApCrCfP3C5a
"No, I'm not. It's just what people expect to hear though. Socially acceptable and blah, blah nonsence."130Please respect copyright.PENANA5KUlqnKq9V
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHc5pv984Y3
"What's wrong with you?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAPCctNlHDfZ
130Please respect copyright.PENANATmpFiqKni1
"My diagnosis or-"130Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ4IfEtvva

"You don't have to tell me your diagnosis. The other will do."130Please respect copyright.PENANA5mtD325lwE
130Please respect copyright.PENANAa8d8Sttvdd
"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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAhdf3OUMZ94
130Please respect copyright.PENANAmau5s0dQwc
I'm required to keep attending treatment or I will be recalled to the nut house."130Please respect copyright.PENANAfhx6NLq2gW
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwTgb2SbTel
"You're not crazy, Ren. Just sick."130Please respect copyright.PENANAFUVv1omJjg
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvWS1ft7wtA
"If you say so, Jess."130Please respect copyright.PENANAuOZVNa4xcB
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqdfXdicFrq
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA2xvozgUEvS
130Please respect copyright.PENANA07cbXBELW9
It's actually why I was in the hospital."130Please respect copyright.PENANAD6DfPlcYNs
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVyM4eITrSM
"Oh..."130Please respect copyright.PENANAFzwG4XIgBv
130Please respect copyright.PENANADHgZTWPLFn
"Yeah." Then Ren yawns heavily. "Catch you around, friend. Later." And she gives Jesse a small fist bump, walking off. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAU45cgCXgQ7
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdN5ckMNZEz
Jesse's left standing alone and Bella slides up beside her. "That was... oddly weird."130Please respect copyright.PENANAs4XsOFNOB5
130Please respect copyright.PENANAl3zGsnrKso
"She was injected with her meds at the hospital. It's why she was so late and so... calm."130Please respect copyright.PENANAx6waLju9fS
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXdwxitUVFP
"Oh, that explains it."130Please respect copyright.PENANAh41DS8uSBs
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzLSxLwTOy6
"Is Anna around today?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAXXCUQteQJt
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvkcN8sVOFU
"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."130Please respect copyright.PENANAeb2jpRjLwi
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjACTCAHhGt
"Does today feel really weird to you, Bella?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAiEOSDi7qQ5
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6UfjSSh0hm
"Actually, yes. It does."130Please respect copyright.PENANAUI9LHJd3lr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAL2aIfBdotX
When Bella's walkie talkie comes to life. "One moment, Jess." 130Please respect copyright.PENANAP1XXhLatPx
130Please respect copyright.PENANAAewtaSgu89
She takes a few steps away, talking to someone. "Damn it." Bella says hanging up. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAjSqNVLcWKO
130Please respect copyright.PENANAd1d5eKJwgg
"Everything okay, Bell?"130Please respect copyright.PENANALn3lCoUVos
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPTtRMOcuaS
"Bell?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAH5Vmf6Z3jK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAUarQAeqszS
"Sorry."130Please respect copyright.PENANAqxaopY1BmE
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sm2BUqXXh
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANArBWYi0xTq9
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXLWVFNsi9A
Joe's got her in the warehouse trying to resolve it. I need to go talk to Maggie."130Please respect copyright.PENANAxoOjaAxyLy
130Please respect copyright.PENANAx78HOXlKgz
And Bella leaves her alone, heading to the elevator. Jess turns around, looking at the stage. She could... get up there for them.130Please respect copyright.PENANAxELuP6tnfB
130Please respect copyright.PENANAvDZLc0dsuo
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANApXpiElbYwu
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfEgCTbPHnk
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... 130Please respect copyright.PENANAOdBFCOZg4c
130Please respect copyright.PENANAmS8q0jxx4C
She slips backstage, finding it unlocked and slips into Princess dressing room, turning the lock.130Please respect copyright.PENANApVCmBctlxu
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4l4BGLvOL3
She pulls out her phone and dials a contact.130Please respect copyright.PENANAEaQoilHN9b

"Do you need something, Jess?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAu2T8cXR1AE
130Please respect copyright.PENANAt5Svx5EVwn
"When you said if I ever need anything. Do you mean just drugs or-"130Please respect copyright.PENANARzdr2zQfGB
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFqNtoWQXpr
"I meant anything."130Please respect copyright.PENANAvAITxNF2d1
130Please respect copyright.PENANAFz5rRJ0ukG
"Like a crowd? You could get me a whole bunch of people?"130Please respect copyright.PENANA6dwV5hLe7u
130Please respect copyright.PENANAiBcgsBuTyc
"I don't understand-"130Please respect copyright.PENANAzwCentr8wq
130Please respect copyright.PENANAc3z3q5vLRd
"Guest turn out at work is slow today and the performance android, Princess is broken or something."130Please respect copyright.PENANALtZTXUrDnm
130Please respect copyright.PENANAuwNrak49AW
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwIgoC0kobr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAfw5UnGgIhu
"So you need what?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAXbWKKAusGY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAQRFA1iR11Q
"A crowd."130Please respect copyright.PENANAysfKUL4dfu
130Please respect copyright.PENANACqtleCXsqO
"Of people?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAfHzz5vHsgc
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhGrUDpIdQO
"Yeah."130Please respect copyright.PENANAEcm73bsj0J
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPdRWJQlYy8
"I... can actually get you that. But if one of the androids are broken-"130Please respect copyright.PENANA9SDbyy6HuS
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnYPrCUPXYi
"I'll go up on stage."130Please respect copyright.PENANA0JZ5ywBY3d
130Please respect copyright.PENANAACS14xttKm
"Can you sing?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAFtYaA06JKk
130Please respect copyright.PENANAiWCshERugB
"Yes. I had another whole other life before I moved here."130Please respect copyright.PENANA9pJZr1rnOG
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y0fG4Wi1D
"Douglas left out a fair bit about you then."130Please respect copyright.PENANATAnvu2Rrk7
130Please respect copyright.PENANAto7I8tcKvL
"So, a crowd? And how do I pay you?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAEBBpEfiSkx
130Please respect copyright.PENANAGebtEabUwH
"You're Douglas' informant. He fits the bill for anything you related. He wants his bussiness and old life back."130Please respect copyright.PENANADXRTuslnli
130Please respect copyright.PENANAq14m9nqmZF
"But what if he doesn't pay-"130Please respect copyright.PENANADLNGKL1qzd
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEgtnJ0N7JZ
"He'll pay, Jess. I'll get you a crowd. Get dressed or whatever you need to do." 130Please respect copyright.PENANAPNlKA74y4X
130Please respect copyright.PENANARS41ZS15KS
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAl1aYFu6PJx
130Please respect copyright.PENANACjpsdXLa2U
She logs into the app for them on her phone selecting the shiniest, bright silver that resembles Princess eyes. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAatiJlPhcOn
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOj7nxLkYkj
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAAJYPAYbnTF
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOxgCD02nvS
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANABXPbL3c195
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVPY0lUMDxL
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAOjGtuV7ea8
130Please respect copyright.PENANAEaMDNw4GYB
Get to your position underneath the stage."130Please respect copyright.PENANAoflYrcNEsF
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxZeAumXAp8
"Of course,..." Then she reails off realizing she doesn't know this employees name.130Please respect copyright.PENANADs4Mj6ASGr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaCAeUv6tBv
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANADqUJRTVqT6
130Please respect copyright.PENANAveDkxRNOwE
Princess skin feels very real, but there is a slight sytheticness you can feel in her touch.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7yoUpMKsMt
130Please respect copyright.PENANAJMuWzdERFd
Jess stands there waiting for showtime, Carly walks up placing a microphone set on Jess head, positioning it. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAu4IKk9Fk9p
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8kavpJvdJY
"Thank you, Carly."130Please respect copyright.PENANA79VMUsHBGi
130Please respect copyright.PENANAs0EbnHSGjZ
"No problem, Princess."130Please respect copyright.PENANA9NStMjUQtU
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKdJArmUqD1
Carly looks tired. What is with everyone today? Carly's tired and hasn't realized she's human.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQCANPbdYYl
130Please respect copyright.PENANACQkkGyHi2Q
She hears music and the lift platform starts to rise, raising Jess up. There is smoke and lights everywhere.130Please respect copyright.PENANAhryfvc6Xdi
130Please respect copyright.PENANAf82z0EpArW
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAyI5b1rnZwM
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2bcxfWib5Z
Thank you, Bailey. It's time, and she starts Princess song, hitting every line in sync with the music and dancing perfectly. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAxuciik3n6p
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdNCxR1Idwf
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAb6aak31PxR
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3xWSH03nLF
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA45ZkRKIxoY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAAyss0BPktU
She straightens up and Joe steps towards her, shining a light in her eyes. She tries not to react.130Please respect copyright.PENANAUTF32wDKRI
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXNzpTu2zrE
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAdIXZvqGidg
The real Princess is proably still in the warehouse. I'll check." He says, taking a step back. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Jv50F2Hz
130Please respect copyright.PENANAO7kpTFFuCS
"Who are you? I didn't have time to call a replacement in." Maggie says slowly, unsure what to make of this. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA6fJJKlBPSM
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYwSJ6AOsfu
"I should be thanking you because you totally saved my- our bacon. But, who are you?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAkJtKJVOzFb
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9TWMUWXFiI
Jess gets the idea to toy with them a bit. "I'm sorry, Miss Stiefvater. I'm afraid I don't understand the question."130Please respect copyright.PENANAxuhy0WuTLb
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgD5r7RCKqW
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAEk85VZfhOZ
130Please respect copyright.PENANARfDaaWm2Jc
She looks at Ren who's just standing there drugged out and confused. Ooh, fucking with her will be fun. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA9otqMddo0U
130Please respect copyright.PENANAU0k2SD0rRW
"Ren, can you please escort me back to my dressing room."130Please respect copyright.PENANAuUoiesprt7
130Please respect copyright.PENANABFWZgW1u3M
"Uh, sure." And Ren turns around starting to go there, but Bella calls her back.130Please respect copyright.PENANAoTtLkabtyq
130Please respect copyright.PENANAMiX5iHafld
"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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAxO1iiYORzT
130Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZUKdvjrL6
"Wait." Bella says, looking closely, and Jess pulls off the wig revaling her hair up in a bun. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAQC1L4rYWZm
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hqrrh27U7
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAh8yOQHkjDY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAP1iKyMSptx
"My office, please. Ten minutes, put the security guard uniform back on." And Maggie walks away from her. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAAFyd7pF5DO
130Please respect copyright.PENANApx5CJWtN4d
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAjctBAIRD6D
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhriWZxO5AD
On the way, she sees Ren inside the medical tent with Bella and Brianna. 130Please respect copyright.PENANATPpPeBRRPZ
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHLJJzDO8cA
Brianna's handing Ren a cup of water.130Please respect copyright.PENANAhBSG3UlXb2

She enters, Maggie at her desk. "Take a seat, Jesse."130Please respect copyright.PENANAu98pXy9I6H
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzo6fRmuyqV
Jess slides into the chair opposite her, feeling anxious. She's going to be fired.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8GJOxUPndf
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKcxRxRiY94
When Maggie opens a drawer, pulling out an enevlope, sliding it towards her. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAPPM4UwdcSX

130Please respect copyright.PENANAVksf3ic9FK
"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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAVzrKBGa57m
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOZZvY5tAPl

130Please respect copyright.PENANAUscnbZGm7a
"At home."130Please respect copyright.PENANAMJHXsBJMXt

"There was an emergency at the hospital. She isn't in today I'm afraid."130Please respect copyright.PENANAsDnl3mAw1c
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnf9ycRDUZW
"Proably, Ren." Jess laughs a little and Maggie has an awkard expression on her face. 130Please respect copyright.PENANArg51Hxrf4d
130Please respect copyright.PENANAX8FIl6QNCz
"Maggie, I'm sorry-"130Please respect copyright.PENANA0mP5GnqQLg
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYfyB98MhTf
"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."130Please respect copyright.PENANAV0v9RQOSaV

130Please respect copyright.PENANAbCmR4iwM9u
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. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAPgZwjZvqif
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaRqXgZHNwG
She pulls out her phone, texting. There's a group chat set up with Johnthan, Maeve, Bobby and Douglas. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAA29QArknIL
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0bC7IcH18c
Jess: Are one of you stalking me right now?130Please respect copyright.PENANA4qDTDby1YX
130Please respect copyright.PENANAIxqkNaYy6C
Severeal replies come back saying no, all online suprisingly. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ10cKRsUW
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhu4xNPY97I
Joththan: Read me the license plate.130Please respect copyright.PENANAEvGBrOP8FJ
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOCpwb65nDS
And she texts it to him. A moment later, he sends a screenshot. It's a file from inside the police network. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAASw7reuwsp
130Please respect copyright.PENANAF8B06zB117
A photo of Detective Clara Johnson, and the work cars registered to her, a work phone number - Desk and mobile, and other imformation.130Please respect copyright.PENANAbQaSDMjgNS
130Please respect copyright.PENANADqRDgFvegO
Bobby: Shit.130Please respect copyright.PENANACJbphYviSt
130Please respect copyright.PENANASPSuVU4HUO
Douglas: Why is she following you?130Please respect copyright.PENANAdpFUjWnx0g
130Please respect copyright.PENANAOr2hOhOBAk
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAGN4aji9P6J
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjw73kxpzTq
Douglas: This is bad.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6tf4lT3fH
130Please respect copyright.PENANAad8ZqAqF0G
Jess: What do I do then? 130Please respect copyright.PENANAbDgFlAEBMB
130Please respect copyright.PENANAeH4ZKvTp4Q
Maeve: There's nothing you can do. Just go home and about your life as normal. 130Please respect copyright.PENANA8WlYGzryfk
130Please respect copyright.PENANA61URE9UcbH
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAeXU3u9NuOi
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1deqghcfIC
Jess: If you don't fuck up my life for me.130Please respect copyright.PENANAVBaTcOoQ9V
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHsTsCAn0kn
Bobby: We'll try not to.130Please respect copyright.PENANANMtoHiIvw8
130Please respect copyright.PENANA6TF7S8x0nj
Douglas: Jess, again. I'm sorry. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAtVJ1GYEIoY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAuEuFG8xsNM

130Please respect copyright.PENANApEQggWeb0d
Maeve: Bobby, shut up.130Please respect copyright.PENANADWFCOYxlZB
130Please respect copyright.PENANA7FEHluP1GH
Johnthan: I already warned you once, his a paying client. Don't make me repeat myself twice.130Please respect copyright.PENANAERWlxIFOq0
130Please respect copyright.PENANANqNh2UEhfx
Jess: Wait, could they hack my phone?"130Please respect copyright.PENANArb0bjRrPOh
130Please respect copyright.PENANAT5uVedq64Q
Johnthan: They won't be able to. I installed spyware and encryption on your phone. 130Please respect copyright.PENANADEq0Tif0iA
130Please respect copyright.PENANAh0Q8SKgdrH
They won't be able to break it, I promise you.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8PpMI4OE03
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8iMuyDdQbV
Jess: But you can see everything I do.130Please respect copyright.PENANAK49imy0vAR
130Please respect copyright.PENANAiXXX6siOcO
Douglas: Yes. So don't give me a reason to find a replacement you, Jesse.130Please respect copyright.PENANARLiDOljD8K
130Please respect copyright.PENANAwJoK4jpvUs
And then Douglas is offline.
