A WEEK AWAY - PART X: SOMETHING MORE

A High School Trip! What could go wrong? So many things. For starters, two of their classmates are missing amidst a natural disaster and are at the back of everyone's minds. Worry is blanketing the students as the night rolls in and there's still no sign of them! Relationships become even more tangled between various friends. There's a reason the teenage years are full of second-guessing everything.

Black and White (Part X)

Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII | Part IX | Part X | Part XI | Part XII | Part XIII | Part XIV | Part XV | Part XVI

When Remus walked into Black and White on Monday morning, he was surprised to see people wandering around the gallery. The artist had only ever visited in the evening, when Sirius was alone. Now, in the light of day, with rays of sunshine pouring through the impressive windows, the gallery looked vibrant, striking, alive. 

Sirius was standing next to a painting, one that Remus had come to recognize as Lily's work, talking with two individuals whom Remus had yet to meet. 

One was tall and slender, with muscular arms and calves, hidden beneath perfectly umber skin that glowed in the gallery lighting. The person had a shaved head, which emphasized sharp cheekbones, a broad nose, and elegantly plump lips parted in a joyful smile. 

The other person was shorter than the first, with broad shoulders covered by a worn-out leather jacket. A rosy blush spread across creamy skin as they laughed along with something that Sirius said. Their hair was cropped short in the back and sides and swept away from their eyes in the front, a typical hipster undercut.

"Ah! Speak of the devil!" Sirius sang, waving in Remus' direction. The artist glanced behind himself to make sure that it was he whom Sirius was signaling to; this was a definite departure from Sirius' typical treatment of Remus.

"Uh… hello?"

"Mr. Lupin! Come here! I'd like you to meet some clients of ours!"

Remus tensed up, his jaw locking, as he awkwardly shuffled towards Sirius and his two companions. He hadn't expected to have to meet anybody that day, let alone schmooze about his art.

"Uh… hello," Remus muttered as he approached the group.

Sirius' smile was wide and gleaming, but it was different from the smile he had at the restaurant. If Remus hadn't known better, he would have thought nothing of it, but he knew what Sirius Black looked like when he was genuinely happy; this was not it. Sirius' grin was too broad, his mouth too open. The smile didn't reach all the way to his eyes, leaving Remus feeling almost sorry for Sirius. He looked happy enough, but none of it was real.

"Mr. Lupin," Sirius began, putting his hand on the small of the taller person's back. "This is Dorcas Meadowes and their partner Marlene McKinnon." He turned to smile at his friends. "Dor, Marls, this is our newest artist, Remus Lupin."

"Pleasure to meet you," Dorcas said, sticking their hand out to shake Remus'. They had the same posh accent as Sirius, the same coy grin spreading across their face. Remus returned the smile as best he could, nodding politely at the couple.

"Nice to meet you," he said shyly, shaking Dorcas' hand. "I'm Remus… obviously…" He glanced down sheepishly at his shoes.

"We've heard a lot about you," Dorcas continued, their expression remaining calm and polite; they were obviously used to dealing with awkward artist-types. "Here's hoping your work will live up to our expectations!" Dorcas let out a sharp laugh that rang through the air, but they stopped when they noticed the look on Remus' face. "Oh, my dear, I was just kidding! There's no need to be nervous around us, right Marls?"

Marlene, who was standing slightly behind their partner, offered Remus a feeble grin. Remus couldn't help but feel like he would have more in common with this person than anyone else he had met at Black and White so far. 

"Dorcas and Marlene are art consultants," Sirius said, ignoring the uncomfortable silence that momentarily settled around their group. "And they always come to us before other galleries, so our artists have an excellent opportunity to have their work sold."

"Art consultant?" Remus cocked his head in confusion.

"It means rich people hire us when they're too lazy to decorate their own houses," Marlene said, drawing out a laugh from their partner. Remus couldn't help but grin; the couple had an exceptional dynamic that worked well for them. 

Like you and Sirius.

Remus immediately shook the thought from his mind, directing his attention back to the couple in front of him.

"Well," Remus said with a smirk, "here's hoping rich people like my stuff."

Dorcas and Marlene both laughed, but Sirius' face remained still, his overly-polite smiling betraying the smallest hint of displeasure. 

"Dorcas, Marlene," Sirius said, cutting through the levity with the sharpness of his voice. "It was wonderful to see you again. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to steal Remus away. We have a few things to go over before we finalize his paperwork."

The group said their goodbyes and Remus found himself led into Sirius' office at the back of the gallery.

"Sit."

Sirius' smile was gone and replaced with his better-than-thou chin tilt and a scowl. 

Remus obeyed his command, sinking into the chair that he first sat in during his portfolio interview, equally as anxious from the look on Sirius Black’s face.

“Mr. Lupin,” Sirius began, his expression stoic and unreadable. Remus swallowed past the lump in his throat. “The paperwork is all drawn up…” Sirius turned to the table next to him where he grabbed a small stack of papers. Remus waited for Sirius to continue what he was saying, but the rest of his sentence never came.

“I feel like there was a but in there…”

Remus watched as Sirius’ jaw clenched, his eyes scanning across Remus’ face, reading him. 

“Yes, well…” Sirius’ eyes darted towards the office door, then back to Remus. “Before I take you on as an artist, I need to know that you are not just in this for the money.”

“I… What?” Remus squeezed his eyes together, bringing his hand to the bridge of his nose. When did he ever give that impression? “Of course I’m not in this for the money. I mean, it wouldn’t be horrible if I did end up making ends meet, but…” Remus chewed the edge of his lip nervously as he watched Sirius’ face. “What made you ask that?”

“It’s a standard question, Mr. Lupin,” Sirius said, almost defensively. “All of my artists are chosen because they put their art first, before anything. Some artists show here and never sell a single item, and they continue showing here because they want to. Because this is the gallery for them.” Sirius paused for a moment, looking Remus dead in the eyes. “Is this the gallery for you?”

“Yes.” 

Remus’ answer was immediate. He hadn’t even had time to process the question before he spoke; his response was almost instinctive. Something inside of him squirmed when Sirius betrayed a hint of a grin at the corner of his mouth, the vaguest essence of a smile in his eyes.

“Well then, Mr. Lupin…” Sirius handed Remus the stack of paperwork and a fountain pen. “Welcome to Black and White.”

There was blue. A lot of blue. It took you a second to realize that the blue colour was coming from the sky. But it was adored with golden marble-like threads. The sun dancing across the ripples of the water above. Letting your eyes flicker to the sides, you saw your arms that were moving like see-weeds in slow, thought-out movements, almost giving them this flowing look. You saw your hair in your peripheral, indicating your movement downwards. With slight thud in your head, your movement stopped overall. Your eyes still looking up at the sky that was above the pool. Couple of bubbles from your mouth and nose distorting your view for a second. Momentarily your vision was interrupted with something dark. Something that mixed well with water and made it look murky. The dark liquid in slow mix of water gained yellowish, smoke like outlines until it all turned into rusty colour altogether when you waved your hand through it. That brain of yours seemed to work in slow motion, so it took you a while to acknowledge the fact it was blood and that it was coming somewhere from your head. You were bleeding. Next second the panic settled in and your lungs started to burn as they were screaming for air. Your hands started to claw at nothing, trying to reach something that didn’t exist. The burn in your chest became so unbearable that out of sheer instinct of keeping yourself alive, you gulped down the water, pulling it straight to your lungs, making them burn even more as black started to cloud your vision.

It all stared with muffled screaming. You couldn’t make out owners of all voices, and your body too weak to open your eyes, but your lungs were still burning until there was very specifically applied pressure to your chest. You wanted to open your eyes so badly, but you couldn’t.

“Rose, call the fucking medics!” someone yelled and the named girl with tears in her eyes run to get phone and make a call.

“Is she breathing?!” Maddie asked sobbing, kneeling besides your seamlessly dead body. Ben didn’t answer, opting between CPR and chest compressions.

“ROSE!” Ben yelled, wanting to know how far was she.

“They are coming in 6 minutes! Keep doing CPR!” Rose said, running back outside.

“For fucks sake!” Ben swore, with his eyes searching your face for any kind sign that you were breathing.

“Come on, sweetheart…” he occasionally said through gritted teeth.

Everyone was standing near you, Maddie right next to you, Rose clutching her phone and praying that you come back, Ben’s friends right behind him, ready to switch him for chest compressions. Even Frankie was laying near the door, feeling that something was off, as her dark eyes were looking at your drenched body and how blood from your forehead, elbow and knee was mixing with the water that clung to your cold skin.

And Nina.

Even she was standing near. Scared. That was never her intention. She didn’t know that you don’t know how to swim. She didn’t know that standing decent step away from pool will be so lethal to you. She didn’t know that you would fall face first to the sharp edge, stretching your hands in front to protect yourself, just to miss the edge couple of inches, making you scrape your elbows and forehead against the pools edge and your knees buckle under you and with force be driven into the paved ground just to be slashed with bloody bruises.

Nina didn’t expect any of that.

“What happened?!” Rose suddenly turned to Nina.

“I said she jumped in.” Nina still stood by what she said earlier.

“Why would she do so if she DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO SWIM?!” Rose pointed at Nina.

“Rose don’t, it isn’t helping.” Maddie sobbed, still kneeling next to you, watching how Ben was desperately trying to bring you back.

Your lungs were burning, your throat was burning. You needed the air, but the water in your lungs stopped you from breathing in. With twitch of your body, you coughed up water that was stuck in somewhere along the way to your lungs.

“OH, THANK FUCKING, GOD!” someone exclaimed. Your dulled senses had no idea who or what was going on. Coughing violently, you grabbed your chest and rolled to the side. Even through your dulled hearing you could make out the sirens of ambulance. You didn’t remember much. Medics were rushing to you, but your eyes didn’t focus on them but only tried to find some familiar face as panic took over you again. Your chest still felt like it was burning and you wanted to clutch your throat. Out of the corner of your eye you caught familiar glimpse of light hair.

Ben…      

He was drenched to the bone, just like you were. His finger tips were tainted with your blood. And with your unfocused gaze you couldn’t tell if he was crying or not, because water was still dancing down his face from his hair.

Rose was the only person that went with you to the hospital with medics. Everyone else could follow afterwards, if needed. As you were putted in the car and taken to the hospital for check ups and tests and overall to make sure that nothing important was damaged, you didn’t have a chance to see the masquerade that took place at Ben’s house.

“NINA!” Ben called for her, because at the moment it seemed that the girl had disappeared. While he was patiently waiting for Nina to answer him, Ben was searching for dry clothes and hoping to get to the hospital as fast as he could.

“Yeah?” she finally immerged from kitchen, when Ben was ready to leave the house.

“Tell me what really happened?” he pointed his finger at her.

“I’m telling you for the third time, boo, she jumped in as I walked away.” Nina said in that innocent voice of hers. Ben only sighed with irritation:

“We talked this morning. There is nothing between us from now on. So, don’t give me those nicknames.”

“Mads, did you get everything she’ll need?” Ben called louder this time, searching for Maddie.

“Yes, let’s go.” Maddie said, her eyes turning cold upon noticing Nina.

“You’re coming with us.” Ben grabbed Nina’s wrist, so she wouldn’t step back.

“Why?” Nina stood ground.

“I am pretty sure doctors will want to hear what happened, since you were there as you say.” Maddie explained.

  *At hospital*

“You called her mum?” Maddie asked, while she was talking with Rose and Ben now.

“Yeah. Doctors asked if she has some relatives nearby.” Rose shrugged.

“She’s going to kill me.” Ben said, letting his hand through his hair.

“Can we see her?” Maddie asked, glancing at the door where you were sleeping.

“Yeah, I think she’s fine for now.” Rose said and led them to the door.

You were laying on the bed, IV going in your arm and nasal breathing tube if there might be chance of you having troubled breathing.

“We thought we lost you there, for a second.” Maddie said walking up to you and sitting besides your bed.

“Nah, I’m still here.” You gave her a weak smile.

“What happened?” Ben asked as he leaned against the wall and looked at you. He was waiting for you to say the same thing that Nina had told, but he didn’t buy her bullshit.

“I-“ you started, but one look in Nina’s direction made you shut up.

“I told them you jumped in, right?” Nina asked, while standing near the door and giving you a death glare.

“I… Yeah… that’s what happened.” You trailed off and slightly nodded.

“But you don’t know how to swim, dummy.” Maddie looked at you with curious look on her face.

“I thought I might learn?” You gave bullshit of a lie.

“Yeah, right…” Ben trailed off, catching that something was off in what you said.

Your eyes moved to look at him and how he had changed his clothes, even thought his hair was still damp.

“Someone in here is not talking.” Rose stated and turned to look at Nina.

“What? I told you what happened, what don’t you get?” Nina shrugged.

“Okay.” Ben clasped his hands to talk, when there was a knock on the door and nurse stuck her head in.

“Miss, you have… more visitors.” And with that three of your uni classmates came in.

“What the….?” You mumbled looking at all of them.

“How did you guys get in?” you looked at Nate, Mila and Emilie.

“Nate told the receptionist that he was your boyfriend.” Emilie said as if she was out of breath, happy to see that you were alright.

“Boyfriend?” Rose, Maddie and Ben said at the same time.

“Nate, you aren’t my boyfriend. If you ever claim that you are, I’m going to punch you in the face.” You furrowed your brows and chastised him half-heartedly. Ben looked from you to this Nate guy, his brow slightly furrowed.

“Who do you have here?” Mila looked around at Rose, Maddie, Nina and Ben.

“Who’s the… you know.” Mila leaned to whisper in your ear, discreetly gesturing to Ben.

“That’s Ben.” You said quietly.

“Oh. So, to his house you sometimes disappear when you are not in our room in dorms.” Mila said, this time louder.

“Milaaa…” you hissed at her.

“That’s him? That’s Ben?” Emilie looked at the blond in the back.

“Nate, sweetheart, I am so sorry…” Mila patted Nate’s shoulder.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He raised his eyebrows.

“Can we like, leave my love life alone and leave at the fact that I am single?” you rolled your eyes. Nate was ready to say something, but you stopped him:

“Don’t. You are not going to claim anything else.”

Your eyes drifted to Ben, and how he was assessing Nate. You didn’t how what to do about the look that Ben was sporting. His green eyes seemed darker than usual, but not like the ones you would see when you were making out with him.

“You okay?” you asked Ben with tilt of your head.

“Are you alright?” he asked instead, his eyes snapping from Nate to you. He wasn’t sure how he felt about the way you talked with Nate, so effortlessly.

“What is going on?” Rose mumbled, realizing that there were too many people in the room. As if on cue, the doctor came back with your mum hot on his heels.

“Oh, here we go…” trailed off.

“Alright, there seems to be too many eager ears.” Doctor stated.

“Can I ask some of you to leave, except for relatives. Like your mother, and what nurse told to be… a boyfriend?” Doctor stated.

Shit.

Stay calm and just say you don’t have one, that something was misunderstood.

You sent Nate a look ‘don’t even think about it’.

Well, what you didn’t see, was how Maddie and Rose shared a devilish smile between each other.

“So… were just going to leave you guys…” Maddie nodded and gently guided out your uni friends. Ben ready to follow.

“Hold your horses… boyfriend…” Rose stopped Ben with her hand on his shoulder. Ben’s eyes darted to you, you sent him a small smile, making him know that it was okay for him to stay.

“Boyfriend? You are n—” Nina started but was guided out of the room by Rose, who sent a small wink in your direction.

Doctor waited patiently for everyone to move out. He then proceeded to take away the breathing tube and take out the IV.

“So…” doctor started and then proceeded to explain how the x-rays and tests came back negative, meaning you were all good for now. And that there should be no reason for pulmonary edema to develop. Also advised to not overwork yourself and just take it easy and if there were any signs of troubled breathing, you should immediately come see doctors.

“Also, you have slightly bruised sternum, but it’s nothing compared to the fact that CPR saved your life. Not to mention the bruise on the side of your ribs, to which we don’t know the explanation.” Doctor continued, explaining that you might feel your chest hurt when turning to the side, but that should disappear in couple of days. You nodded, sending a small smile towards Ben. But your head was occupied with the fact that now you had a bruise where Nina had pushed you.

“I’m going to send a nurse with your release form and then you are free to go.” Doctor said before leaving the hospital ward.

“I told you that it will lead to nothing good.” Your mum told you afterwards, sitting on your bed and holding your cheeks.

“I’m fine, mum.” You pulled your head out of her grasp.

“Don’t you ever scare me like that.” She said taking your hand.

“I won’t.” you smiled at her reassuringly.

“And you.” Your mum pointed at Ben.

“Mum.” You warned.

“Thank you, Ben. As much as I disapprove of these parties you are having sometimes, I am thankful that you were there.” Your mum said, slightly surprising you.

“I would never let anything happen to her.” Ben smiled at your mum, then let his eyes flicker to you. Your mum nodded and left you two alone for a moment before she’ll come and drive you back to the dorms.

“Tell me what really happened out there. I have a feeling that Nina isn’t saying something to me. To anyone.” Ben sighed and looked at you. Sitting on the bed now.

You sat up and let your legs dangle over the bed, sitting beside him, wandering how much you should tell him.

“I was talking with Rose and Maddie in the morning, that much you know. And they left, leaving me alone with my thoughts for a moment until Nina joined. And we talked. Then I was in water.” You tried to opt for simple explanation.

“That really doesn’t explain the bruise on your side. And I am pretty sure it was not there when I was in your room.” Ben said turning to you and letting his hand gently slide up the side of your body. You didn’t answer. Not sure what Nina would do if you opened your mouth too much.

“What did you two talked about?” Ben asked with tilt of his head.

Damn it, okay… now or never, right?

Professor

Pairing : Loki, Reader

PART X

Last chapter : Loki received an ambiguous text from a mysterious woman.

Summary : Y/N, a student, and Loki, a professor, attend the same wedding. They don’t realize they could meet again.

WARNING : Angst

Y/L/N : Your Last Name

No, she tried to convince herself, it could be his mother or a relative.

Loki never mentioned any... wife.

Heart hammering in her chest, fists clenched, Y/N’s body was entirely shaking. The whole world seemed to shatter under her feet.

Suddenly certain that someone was watching her, she looked up.

Loki's eyes were scanning her expression, aware that something was wrong. Even when she was mad at him, the young girl couldn't help but admire his pale skin contrasting strikingly with his dark hair. In the end, he remained so mysterious, so secretive. How could she even hope being a part of his world ?

''What's the matter ?'' he asked, coming closer as she put great efforts into pushing away the odd discovery.

Doing her best to hide her fears from him, Y/N rushed into Loki's arms and gripped his shoulders in an unusual way,

''I'm perfectly fine.''

Their gazes locked and he knew for sure she was lying. Loki's eyebrows shot up,

''Well, you seem lost.''

A forceful smile on her lips, Y/N hung upon his neck and kept staring at him,

''It's nothing. I'm just tired.'' she quickly replied.

With that, she wrapped herself into a towel and lazily dragged her feet to Loki's bedroom. There, Y/N swept the place with her eyes for a sign of her. The mysterious Emily.

But there was none. Not a picture, not a trace.

Y/N felt that feeling again, only much more strongly. The anxiety, burning her stomach and twisting her guts.

She looked around, breathing heavily. After a moment, her eyes laid on Loki. Leaning against the wall, he had his green emeralds fixed on her. As if he could read her thoughts, his gaze darkened and she saw clear pain in it,

''What is it ?'' he asked, keeping the tone of his voice as calm as possible.

Y/N apprehensively shrugged, grabbing a small, round object on his desk,

''Nothing.'' she gulped and waited a few seconds before adding, ''I was wondering if you had... family.''

Loki froze, glaring at her as she pretended to focus on the accessory she was holding in her hands.

''I don't have any family.'' he coldly answered.

Y/N’s fingers clenched around the object,

''I mean a mother, a sister maybe...''

With each passing moment, the tension between them became more intense. Rolling his eyes, Loki let out a deep sigh in exasperation and kept himself busy,

''I told you I don't have any sister. My mother died a long time ago,'' he sounded angry now, ''if there's something you need to ask me I suggest you do it right now.''

Y/N remained silent as he shuffled around, avoiding her gaze. She'd put the artefact back on the desk, her throat feeling tighter.

''I thought it was finally going to be alright, between us.'' Loki's voice suddenly echoed in the room, wounded and loud.

A deafening silence followed, leaving Y/N on the edge of crying,

''A wife, maybe ?'' she insisted, but heard him release an exasperated sigh,

''Oh dear, what are you talking about ?'' Loki nervously brushed his fingers through his hair and she knew he was annoyed by her questions. Shuffling around and gathering his clothes, he was barely listening now.

''Emily ?'' she tried.

And he stopped what he was doing. Licking his lower lip, Loki sat down on the bed.

Y/N couldn't stand looking at him any longer. As she averted her eyes to the floor, realization took hold. A tightness in the center of her chest made it harder to breathe. The lump that was in her throat slowly rising, the young girl felt a tear rolling down her cheek.

''Y/N...'' Loki suddenly seemed to come back to reality, ''I know I should have told you.'' his senses, ''It would be hard to explain.''

She didn't let him finish.

No more secrets. No more lies.

Y/N quickly dressed under Loki's frightened eyes,

''Where are you going ?'' he panicked, abruptly standing up.

At first, she didn't answer. The truth was out. Cold and terrible. A wife. That was something she'd never thought about. After all, Loki was in his early thirties, he was gorgeous. Why would he be with a student ?

In her most natural voice, swallowing her tears back, the young girl simply declared,

''I'm leaving.'' she stepped closer to him, ''Having sex is one thing, trusting someone is another one. I guess we just have the sex.''

She'd talked without any emotion, looking straight into his eyes. If Loki wasn't going to commit in this relationship, she had no reason to insist.

Not knowing exactly how to react and wether or not she was serious, his eyes widened in fear,

''Y/N, this isn't what you think.'' his voice sounded worried.

For a moment, she wanted to wrap her arms around him and forget everything. But how could she ?

''Well, how do you explain that weird text from Emily ?''

His expression a mixture of surprise and terror, Loki didn't say a word. His silence became unbearable and Y/N bit down onto her lower lip, forcing herself not to cry,

''Great,'' she muttered, taking quick steps towards the door, ''she texted you and added love at the end of her message.''

Y/N looked behind her one last time. Loki hadn't moved. She stared at his back, waiting for him to at least turn around, but he didn't. Tears flooding her cheeks, the young girl slowly made her way downstairs.

The sudden sound of footsteps approaching at a quick pace then came to her ear.

''Y/N !'' Loki called. In a flash, he grabbed her arm from behind, ''Wait. Do not leave again. Not like that.''

Turning around to face him, the young girl sobbed, ''You're lying...'' but he cut her off, ''I'm not lying to you ! I swear.'' he tried to pull her closer, his own voice getting raspy, ''I swear I'm not, Y/N.''

Surrendering to her resistance, he managed to place her hand on his chest and she felt his heart pounding there. In less than a moment, his body was against hers. His breath crashed against her temple and she melted to his touch, to the irresistible chemistry between them.

''I'm not lying.'' he whispered, short of breath.

With his hands, he tried to lift her chin up so she'd look up at him.

''Don't...'' Y/N sniffled, tired of this relationship, if you could call that a 'relationship', that was going nowhere. ''You keep hiding things as if I was your enemy and I'm here, waiting for a fucking sign." she wiped her cheeks and moved back, ''I'm ridiculous.''

''A sign.'' he repeated, his fingers still trying to make any kind of connection with her body.

''Yes, Loki, a sign.'' Y/N spat, ''Just so I know that I'm more than a student you fuck.'' she closed her eyes for a few seconds, ''God, I can't do this anymore.'' Tears ran down her cheeks again, ''Who is she, Loki ?'' her shaky voice asked one last time.

Loki shifted nervously and pressed his lips together, clearly distraught. He crossed his arms on his chest and his mouth opened silently. At first, nothing came. Not a sound nor a breath, until he finally sighed,

''It's complicated.''

Y/N’s teeth clenched,

''I want to know.''

The Loki who was always so calm and self-confident disappeared. Relentlessly running his fingers through his hair, he took a deep breath. With each second, he grew more anxious. The change in his demeanor wasn't reassuring at all.

''Y/N, I... I'm begging you to stay, I just need time.'' he cleared his throat, but his voice remained husky, ''Just... please, don't leave.'' he tried to touch her hand, but the young girl shook her head.

''Goodbye, Loki.'' she whispered before running away.

Outside, the temperature was still warm.

The Earth hadn't stopped spinning, and yet it felt like her whole world had been torn apart. As long as she could, the young girl ran along the road. When she started to feel dizzy, Y/N stopped to catch her breath.

Still crying, the tears continued to fall onto her face, running in every direction, mixing together and relentlessly falling. Without thinking, she grabbed her phone and sent a quick text to Jane.

Can we meet somewhere ? Not feeling good.

Almost instantly, her device vibrated with the answer on its screen,

Meet me at the Anti-Cafe in 5 minutes.
