Lucy
Please be alive. Please please please
Lucy
I didn’t mean to drag you into this
Lucy
I thought I lost you.
Lucy
Did you get the tablet?
Kam
I’m fine. About to pass out, but fine. Thank you for ASKING.
Lucy
Sorry. I’m just scared.
Kam
Yeah. Well. I got your stupid tablet.
Kam
Now I’m chilling here in some shrubbery till I figure out
Lucy
Calm down. It’ll be okay. Can you tell me what happened??
Kam
I was hiding behind the Prof’s desk in the lab
Kam
And some woman with a GUN
Kam
Was about to check behind the desk
Kam
And I was like OH GOD
Lucy
Wait so this woman ...
Kam
Dunno. Not like I had time to inquire.
Lucy
What did she look like?
Kam
Red hair. Real pissed off. I didn’t recognize her.
Kam
But she had this look like she knew me or something
Kam
She sound familiar to you?
Lucy
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Lucy
Anyway, can you open the tablet?
Lucy
Log in and try to access Stella’s A.I. before it freaks out and ...
Kam
That crazy redheaded lady followed me!
Lucy
Get out of the quad!
Lucy
Are you okay? Kam? Kam?
Kam
I did not sign up for this!
Kam
2) being chased by a crazy lady with a gun, and
Kam
3) The lethal combination of the two.
Lucy
It’s going to be alright. I promise.
Kam
Holed up in the library stacks
Kam
Hiding in the one place no one will look.
Kam
Encyclopedias! When was the last time you used a hard copy encyclopedia?
Lucy
Back to business. The tablet?
Kam
That frat dude Tucker is calling.
Kam
He’s getting suspicious
Kam
If he connects the dots, I’m toast.
Kam
Lemme just smooth things over.
Kam
Hi, Tucker. How’s it going?
Tucker
U tell me, K-Dawg. Just saw u running across campus.
Tucker
What’s that all about, brah?
Kam
Oh, that was merely a spirited constitutional.
Kam
You know I love physical fitness!
Tucker
Yeah, I don’t buy that, son.
Tucker
I dunno what’s going on but you’ve been acting real suspicious.
Kam
Me? Hmm. I feel fine.
Kam
Anyway, nice talking to you -
Tucker
U know there was a break-in at the Prof’s lab?
Tucker
I saw u there right before it happened.
Kam
Excuse me. You’re suggesting I broke into the Prof’s lab?
Tucker
Naw, didn’t say that bro. I just think it’s a funny coincidence.
Tucker
Your girlfriend Lucy steals that car.
Tucker
Someone breaks into the lab.
Tucker
And now security is reporting that there’s an armed woman on campus.
Kam
Hold up. Where was she last spotted?
Tucker
Headed toward the library stacks.
Lucy
Update? What did he say?
Kam
1) For the first time in his life…
Kam
Tucker is using his brain, but even worse…
Kam
2) The redhead was spotted near the library
Kam
I don’t have much time.
Lucy
Then you have to hurry.
Lucy
Log into the tablet.
Lucy
Can you access Stella’s interface?
Kam
I see your location on the map
Kam
You’re way down the PCH.
Lucy
Can u hack into Stella’s GPS?
Kam
And YES! I hacked in!
Kam
Computer Science FTW!
Lucy
Whew! Now we can set Stella’s next destination
Lucy
Set course for the big park outside campus
Lucy
Kam, we need a secluded place to review the tablet
Lucy
And campus isn’t safe as long as that redhead psycho is on the loose.
Kam
At a park after dark?
Lucy
Exactly. Meet you there in an hour...
Kam
Have you watched any scary movies ever?
Kam
FACT. Shady things happen in parks after dark.
Lucy
Kam. You’ll be fine.
Lucy
It’s the only way to stop the Prof’s research from falling into the wrong hands
Lucy
Once you find out what he was working on
Lucy
Then you’ll understand the secrecy.
Lucy
Please Kam ... do this for me
Lucy
Soon we can put this whole thing behind us and go on that date.
Lucy
Think about it. You. Me. Dumplings.
Kam
Setting Stella’s GPS for the park.
Lucy
It’s working! Stella is turning around!
Kam
I’m sure you’d do the same for me.
Kam
I’ll see you at the park in an hour
Kam
Let’s meet up at the -
Lucy
You didn’t finish your sentence
Kam
The power just went out
Lucy
Is it the whole building?
Kam
I don’t think it’s an accident.
Lucy
You think it’s the redhead?
Kam
Not risking it. I gotta book it out of this library.
Kam
Alright. I’ll see you there.
Kam
Just gotta get down this stairwell.
Kam
Which, looks a lot like an abyss of murder.
Kam
Lucy, I’m so sick of this creepy adventure stuff
Kam
Could this get any worse?
Unknown
I know you’re up there, Kam.
Kam
I knew that question was asking for trouble.
Unknown
You have something I want.
Unknown
You’ll find out soon enough.
