Storm Shades
“After what had happened to Sofie the day before, the team doesn’t want to take any chances.
“A day off?” Sofie says the words as if they’re a foreign concept, which they pretty much are. She’s renowned for hardly taking any holiday unless Darwin actually locks her out of the lab.
“Well, we can’t do any surveying in this,” Darwin gestures out the window of her hotel room where it’s so dark you would think it was the middle of the night. “Besides, we can’t risk contaminating any of the samples. A...nything we collect would just have to be double checked anyway. So yes, a day off. Go and enjoy yourself.” Darwin waves vaguely to demonstrate this ‘enjoying oneself’ that she was supposed to do. He doesn’t let her debate his suggestion, and, as if on cue, his cell starts ringing. He grabs it up irritably until he sees the caller ID and turns his back as he answers it.
“Bet you anything it’s the office.” Finn doesn’t even look up from the video game he’s been playing—using her television as a screen.MoreLess
