“What’s going on?” the girl said, for the second time, “Who are you?”

“Just shut up and keep up,” I said.  

SHUT UP AND DANCE W– wait, no

We joined Senegal and Minor at the entrance to the hallway, then followed Brooks’s lead as he strode across the mall.  We got bogged down once more in the press of people dancing, jumping and grinding in the center of the mall.  We would have lost sight of Brooks, but he hopped up onto the side of the water fountain by the collapsed stairwell to get high enough for us to see him.  Minor and Senegal cleared the way for the rest of us.

Nice. Here we go, Bryce time.

“I’ll do the talking?” Lisa offered.

That sounds good.

“Sure,” I said.  It made sense.  If we did rescue Bryce, I didn’t want either him or his sister making a connection between Skitter and the girl in his rescuer’s group.

Oh yeah, good point. Better they think Skitter is Lisa, or that she sent some Coil mooks (67% true) in her place.
