EVELYN STARED AT TRAVIS AS she froze time. She wanted to be safe, not sorry. They’d just portaled, and white tiled walls gleamed all around them; the smell of cleaning products filled the air. A row of toilet stalls sat with closed doors and she knelt down to check for feet. To make sure they were in the clear, she opened each door, all empty.

Jackie lay on the floor with her eyes closed, and Evelyn wondered why this would be the place the stone took them. Travis squinted, with a frantic expression stuck on his face. His hand hovered over his hip, in an act of grabbing at his gun.

Evelyn walked over to the door and opened it. The long room looked like a café, with a bar on the right and on the left side, booths ran along the windows, overlooking the city street. It looked like a normal city and a normal café, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Nearly every person in the café had embers floating above them, and their connections freely flowed from one person to the next. They had jumped right into a den of purge people. This could have been Jackie’s drop point to deliver her to the queen, or maybe a sanctuary for purge people like her.

Evelyn spotted an empty booth right next to the bathroom door, and knew what she would do. She rushed back to Travis and slid him along the tile floor, until she got to the booth. She pushed his stiff body into the booth and sat his hands on the table. Next, she took Jackie and shoved her into the booth and sat her face down on the table. A passerby might think she’s resting or taking a nap.

She sat down next to Jackie and let time slide back into place. Noises inundated them, with the sounds of conversations, orders being placed, and silverware hitting porcelain.

Travis jerked and looked around. “What the hell?”

“Sorry, I just thought it’d be better if we appeared in the booth, versus a man walking out of a bathroom with a little girl and a passed out woman.”

“How did you even get me here?”

“I’m stronger than I look.”

Travis looked around the room and one of the waitresses saw him. She raised a finger and went back to talking with the people in front of her. “Don’t people notice us just appearing in this booth?” He looked at Jackie.

“You’d be truly amazed at how little people observe their surroundings. People will ignore everything that isn’t demanding their attention.” A table with a woman and two men caught her attention. She looked again and made eye contact with the girl.

“Hey, didn’t even see you come in,” the waitress walked up, holding a pen and pad. “What can I get you to drink?”

“Just some waters please,” Travis said.

Evelyn nodded and gave a stupid little girl smile that seemed to appease the waitress.

“How about I bring you some chocolate milk to go with that sweet smile?”

Travis spoke first, “That’s fine.
