Gus watched Kenton walk away. They seemed to have pulled it off. He turned back to Madeline and her whining voice.

"I can't believe you dragged me into this. We're in way too deep here."

"Just shut up, we need this."

"No. This time you've gone way too far." She tore the glasses from her face. "I don't want to do this anymore."

She stood up, but Gus grabbed her wrist and dragged her back into her seat.

"You're not walking out on me. You're my scientist."

"I work in a shop. I don't know what made you think—"

"You're in this up to your neck already. You can't simply walk away. If I go down, Madeline—"

"I don't know why I let you talk me into this. He's a journalist, you don't think he'll double-check this stuff? When he finds out we made it all up, it's over anyway."

Gus shrugged. "They're probably doing things like we said."

"Fake wombs? You really think that? Besides, if, by some miracle, Kenton just takes our word for it, when the book comes out it'll be ridiculed as a load of rubbish. Then where's your revolution?"

"Come on, people won't just believe the government denying it. By the time they get organised with a public enquiry, let alone actually carry it out, their heads will already be on spikes. No one will wait to find out the truth."

Madeline stood up. "Whatever they did to you in that place, it didn't work, because you're still crazy."

Gus grinned up at her. "It has been said."
