Chapter 13

A hush fell over the staff room and then humans scattered in all directions, trying to look as if they were about to leave, but Viglar stood in the doorway so they sort of tried to meander casually.

He cocked his head, and she almost had the feeling he was trying to recall what a pizza was. “I will accompany you, and you and your friend will not be arrested.”

“Nice little double standard you’ve got going there.” She became aware of everyone’s avid stares.

Rachel audibly moaned before she cut it off. Several of the interns who had tried to meander out would have to brush against Viglar to exit and now tried to find a reason to be walking around the cafeteria.

“I will meet you and your friend outside the building after your shift.” He walked to the door and then stopped. “Do not be late.”

I’m not going anywhere with him,” Rachel hissed.

“You’re not leaving me alone with him,” Madison told her. “So don’t even try to chicken out.” He’d claimed her, who knew what he’d want to do if they were alone?

“Kwak, kwak, kwak.”

“You’re not funny and that’s not what a chicken sounds like.”

“Have you ever seen a chicken?” Rachel teased.

“No, but I know that’s not what they sound like.” Most chickens in their area had died of avian flu before her birth.

They went to finish their shifts and then Madison went in search of Rachel. She wasn’t about to give her the opportunity to sneak away and leave her alone with Viglar. “We’d better go, that alien is rabid about being on time.”

He stood outside the building, arms crossed over his chest, surveying the newly tiled pavement as if looking for flaws. The security guards stood as if turned to stone, trying to be invisible. Most of them had been replaced, and they now wore smart uniforms and never ever made smarmy remarks to the female staff. It was one of the reasons some of the nurses wouldn’t allow anyone to speak out against Viglar or the aliens.

“We normally just walk to the pizza place and get the pizzas to take home,” Madison told him.

“Great, now he’s going to come home with us,” Rachel mumbled and Madison could’ve kicked herself. She couldn’t imagine him in her tiny apartment. When he’d come to give her the Eduki pelt he’d made her flat seem the size of a TC before it was activated. They walked in silence to the pizza shop.

“I’d like a New York Elvis,” Madison told the man behind the counter. Of Chinese descent, he was only half a head taller than her. Frozen, he stood staring at Viglar.

“It--it--it’s not curfew yet.”

Viglar ignored him and studied the menu. “Why do you name your food?”

The man behind the counter still stood frozen, and Madison tried to think of a way to explain the names on the menu.

“It’s just fashionable right now. It draws customers,” she said. “Why don’t we eat here tonight?” she suggested in a falsely happy voice.

Viglar looked down at the spindly chairs and dainty tables.
