'Becky I am very sorry about tonight. My brother was not supposed to use you in that room. The danger is over, I think we have fixed what we broke in you.'
She looked at him horrified, feeling so bad she wanted to lie down somewhere. 'Becky you can’t stay here. I have fought with him for a few hours, but I’m older so I won. I want you to come back to Clown City.'
She began to speak, he stopped her; 'I know it’s okay. I will have the jump by your apartment rerouted. It’s important that you not come back here. Do you understand me?'
She looked over at him. How she hated this man when she worked for him. Why was he being so nice to her now? ‘What time do I have to be there?’ He told, gave her a schedule and a candy bar. A couple of ladies arrived and had her dress in a ridiculous costume.
Before she walked out the door, they checked her, and then gave her a bottle. ‘You need to spread this all over your whole body, even your clothes. This city has a dangerous jump after ten.’
‘Does this really have to go on my skin under my shirt? Why do I have to do this? What have I been doing all night? What time is it? Why do my ears ring and my head feel fuzzy?'
She sat down and rubbed her feet. 'What do I do if this takes me the wrong way? What time will I get home? Oh I don’t feel good.'
The sweet lady walked over and helped her put on her shoes. She talked very quietly to her and kept an eye on her color. If things were too out of hand, they would have to transport her via the airship. This was a danger as this City was illegal so far this month.
Becky turned as she was scanned for any missing spots. When all was ready, she took a deep breath, and jumped.
