Phone Calls

“Hey, Damien.” Mick cradles the phone between his shoulder and chin. “Listen, we’ve had a few new things come up around here, and we’re checking someone else out for a computer chip tomorrow at the hospital where Jason was. Wanted to know if you’d be willing to come get an x-ray done to see if you’ve got a chip yourself. I know we talked about that before.” As he talks, out of the corner of his eye he sees BJ rush to Annie, and his heart breaks in two, but there’s nothing he can do. He throws Rosetta a look, asking her to help.


Clint comes over to Wendy and lays his hands on her shoulders as he looks over her head. “What did you find?”

Rosalynn and Becky pack their bags in silence, neither one ready, but both knowing it has to be done. Jim had told them to be ready by that afternoon.


Con stands in the living room adjoining the mess hall as he talks to Katie. “Glad you’re having fun, Kat.” He glances out into the other room, hearing BJ. “We got a couple things going on around here. We’ve already been in contact with a couple people out your way, but Reese might not have been informed yet, we had a kid about six years old dropped off here last night. Looks like he was being held by Sam…apparently she’s a triplet with Annie and Mick. Quite a nice new twist to this whole thing.” He rolls his eyes. “We’re trying to get things set up to check the kid out – he might have an implant as well.” He pauses, thinking of anything he should relay. “Other than that…not much else.”
