>>5318208Sorry for the delay-- got suckered into watching the new Top Gun. Was gucci af.Later in the afternoon, after you’ve fed and taken care of the captives, the five of you reconvene to discuss the finer details of Matt’s plan atop your newly-built platform.
It’s a simple plan: one that requires Bernard to teleport the kids somewhere outside Konigsburg, and, once all of the kids are out of the city, Matt will take them straight to the farm via a sizable moving truck.
You don’t think anyone will look twice at a moving truck rental, though you’re positive Matt would never rent one under his real name. FutureLabs is all-too-used to you operating <span class="mu-i">within</span> city limits, as opposed to outside of them.
“Jewel,” Matt addresses the crystal woman, breaking you from your thoughts. “Wanna come with us?”
“Me?!” Julia all-but sputters– an odd deviation from her usual, stony demeanor. “Why me?”
“We’d like a muscle with us in case things go sour.” Matt states, leaning on his bat. “They likely won’t, but you never know; so we’d rather play it safe than sorry.”
While you can tell that Julia’s trying not to let it show, you watch as her eyes flit back to Valjean multiple times, the discomfort at the idea of leaving plainly written across her face.
“I’m guessing I’ll be on house arrest for this one?” Valjean remarks, even though he knows the answer to that question.
“Pretty much.” Matt confirms, not really looking too repentant about that.
“Well, at least one of us will be getting some fresh air…” The former Crux leader grouses, rolling his eyes at the younger male.
