Eyebrows raised at the reward amount. Loreen smiled. It was a genuine one, but it had been tempered by the gravity of the moment.
“We’ve gotta show a message,” Entrepreneur Paul mentioned.
“That’s what we just did,” Loreen replied.
The both of them had figured out a way to clue in the law enforcement to go along with their plan. They found some roadblocks but the number remained.
Lisa still felt catatonic. She slapped on a courageous appearance but that only went so far. Still recovering from the traumatic loss of her personal and professional items, she tried her best to keep her composure despite the circumstances.
Between the varying degrees of expression, she looked out into the world from Loreen’s apartment building in the city. She stood with some coffee in her hand. The sight of police tape and forensics teams combing through her room caused her to shudder. Loreen walked up to her.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“If you want, we could make the guest house––” Loreen started.
“Thanks, no. Ken and I are going to the beach house,” Lisa snapped.
“Sorry, I’m just––”
“It’s okay. I know you’re shaken. You take as long as you want here.”
“Thanks, Lor,’” Lisa mentioned. “I appreciate everything you both are doing.”
She looked out at the rising of the sun. Meanwhile, Ken spoke with investigators. He didn’t fidget or strain. He looked composed.
“Mr. Devlin, how long have you known Miss Conway?”
“I met her about two months ago.”
“Did you have access to her hard drive or any other materials?”
“No.”
“How much did you know about the site behind the scenes? Were you privy to information that few other people had.”
“She didn’t tell me anything about the site. I didn't ask any questions.”
“Thank you, that’s all we need.”

Monica II rolled over and kissed Dr. Strong. He remained asleep. Once she got out of bed, she headed towards the sanitation station and washed in lemon zest and lavender oil. Her skin glistened under the lights. She felt a surge of energy course through her petite frame. As a synth, she could sense when the doctor would be roused from his slumber. She let him sleep as she donned a tan sweater and blue jeans and white flats.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
