With the shadow man frozen in place, I moved around him.
I reached for my phone.
No signal.
The screen appeared distorted.
"Yeah, mine's doing that too." Everlyn said, limping up to the shadow guy. "What's he feel like?"
She reached out for his arm. "Don't!" I yelled. She ignored me, and touched him. With a slight squeeze, his arm gave way. It came back, like a balloon half-full.
"Strange feeling. He feels like a rotten ballsack, which is what he is."
Everlyn had the strangest metaphors.
Mr. Jacobson appeared.
"I got the signal from the machine."
"What is the machine?"
"A quantum computer, what else?"
Good question. What else?
"So what now?" I asked.
"We'll take it from here, thanks Adam. You can go home."
I gave them the suitcase out of the trunk of my car, and everyone got inside. Everlyn handed me her bra.
"I'm tired, let the girls rest."
"What am I supposed to do with this?"
She ignored me, playing on her phone.
"Let's go, Adam. I need to get home. Some guy's contacting me about a lost dog. Think's he owned a dog at some point and a UFO abducted it."
