Lisa shrugged, unable to find the words to convince her.
This means a lot coming from Lisa.
Sierra sounded angry now. She stood, confronting Lisa, “No! Where’s Skitter? Where’s your boss?”
Aand there goes the next stage.
What do you do, Taylor? Step in as a target of wrath while also giving up your civilian face to another person? Or let Lisa take it?
I hesitated. My secret identity, such as it was, was already falling apart. It wasn’t that I was that committed to it, since I wasn’t ‘Taylor’ that much of the time these days, but there was always that worry in the back of my mind that I was burning my bridges as far as being able to go back home, or that I was possibly giving out clues that someone could use to trace back to my dad and hurt him.
Honestly? I’m surprised she didn’t mention the possibility of the information making its way to Danny. But the points she does bring up are honestly better.
On the other hand, I could see how Sierra was on the verge of losing it. I couldn’t tell if she was going to cry, hit Lisa or say something she shouldn’t, but I couldn’t let her do anything that would get her in trouble with the soldiers.
Oh yeah, let’s try to avoid that.
I stood from the bed.
Good woman.
