All the air in my body whooshes out. White spots dot my vision, then clear to give me the truest vision of Lindsay I’ve ever experienced. We’re ragged and sweaty, soaked in each other’s musk and half dressed, on Jane’s bathroom floor, as a group of enemies seek to destroy us.
And I’ve never been happier.
She is radiant.
I press the tiny pistol into her palm as I kiss her deeply.
“You need this. Just in case. And you need something even more important.”
This is when I pull out my syringe. I came prepared.
Her eyes bug out.
“What the hell, Drew? My mom speculated you might be on drugs, but -- ”
I show her the microchip.
Now she pulls away from me.
“What the hell is that?” The mood is gone.
“A microchip.”
“You’re the Terminator, aren’t you? A cyborg from the future. This explains so much.” She’s rambling and starts to stand, searching for her panties. I point to the light switch.
“Why are you so focused on time travel, Lindsay?” I stand, too. I’m faster at getting dressed, and by the time she makes eye contact, I have the syringe with the chip in my hands, ready to explain.
“Because right now, I want to be anywhere, any time, but here. Now. What the hell, Drew?” She looks at the gun in her hand, then pings to the syringe in mine. “What is this? You want to...”
“Microchip you.”
“I’m not a pet!”
There are so many replies to that one. I smartly hold them all back and just look at her. I lick my upper lip and taste her.
“This is simple. Your dad is making all the wrong decisions.”
Bang bang bang.
We both jump and I almost drop the chip, but catch it at the last second.
“Ms. Bosworth?” It’s Silas, from the outside door. “We need to get you home.”
What he’s really saying is, Get the fuck out of there, Drew.
“We don’t have much time,” I say tersely. “I need to insert this in you.” I pull out the alcohol swab and grab her wrist.
“In me?” She snatches her hand back.
“Yes.”
“I have an ‘insert one item per day’ limit with you, Drew.” She shoots me a smug smile, but she’s creeped out.
“Not today.”
She just blinks, the truth of what I’m saying slowly sinking in, her cheeks going red.
“You’re not kidding.”
