“You know I looked up your information, I can see who came on the last Placement Day.” He pulled through the empty parking lot and into his designated parking spot.
“I mean, I guess, Yeah.” A sliver of relief overcame her.
“Alright.” He turned the car off and dropped the glove box, pulling out his work tablet. It lit up the entire interior, glowing on their faces and he showed June the exact application he and Margaret use. He filtered through the people, sorting the newest to the top. Five men and two women. “Okay, we have guy number one, Ethan, twenty two years old, mechanic, does that sound like him?”
She shook her head, “No, he’s not good with his hands.” Tears dried up on her cheeks.
“Makes sense.” He joked, “Okay, guy number two, Jacob, thirty, beekeeper.”
“No, are these their island given names?”
“Yes. Do either of those two sound like they could be him?”
She shifted in her seat, waiting for someone who wouldsoundlike him,“No.”
He brushed his hair back, “Okay,” He exhaled annoyed, “Guy number three, Everett, twenty five, metal working?”
“No, he’s twenty eight, or I guess twenty nine now.” She picked at her cuticle in the dark.
“Well this next guy is twenty eight, Elijah, agriculture.”
“No, he’s never been to a farm in his life.”
“Okay, well the last guy is thirty and a teacher.” He exited the app and turned off the tablet. “Do you feel better? People can look similar to others. You have only been here for two months, you’re still getting adjusted. Do you think this could be like,” Wolfgang couldn’t find the words, worrying her that he could offend her, “Trauma or something?” He closed the glove box and set a hand on her bare thigh.
June shrugged.
“Maybe you should consider therapy?”
“Maybe, but what happens if he is here?”
“Well, we can talk to The Council about it. The protocol is if they deem him a threat, they give him the ML825 shot and sends him back.”
She dropped her hand on her lap next to his pinky, “What is the ML825 shot exactly?”
He grabbed her hand, “It’s an injection that makes him forget the island, the people and everything up until the moment Jay approached him. There’s different doses for different people, it depends on how long you were here.” Wolfgang’s seat creaked under him, “You don’t need to be scared, I couldn’t let anything happen to you.” He tightly gripped her hand in her lap and planted a kiss on her palm. “I love you.”
“I love you too, can we go inside?”
“Yes.” He jumped out of the Jeep and flew to the other side, the door flying open. He grabbed June by the waist and threw her over his shoulder.
“Wolfie!” She squealed covering her back end. “What are you doing?”
He charged to the apartment door, “I told you about this dress.”
“Are you serious?” She could hear the smile in his voice. The door opened and her butt grazed the top of the door frame.
He grabbed the door with his foot, slamming it backwards, “I am serious.”
“You are acting like a juvenile right now.” Her hands pressed against his back as he opened his bedroom door.
He turned to lock it, laughing, “That’s not new.” Stopping at his bed, he cast her over his shoulder. She looked up at him, his dark hair tousled, hanging down over his raised brow. “Are you-?” He lifted the rest of the bottom of her dress, “Where’s your underwear?”
Her legs together, June bit her lips looking up at him, nipples growing harder.
“Oh June.” He took note of her chest as he squeezed fingers between her closed legs, “It’s like you’re asking for trouble,” Wolfie teased her, moving his hand upward. “I’m ripping this off of you.” He grabbed two fistfuls of fabric across her stomach.
“Stop.” Her brittle voice shook. Wolfie backed off, alerted by her voice and dropped his hands. “You’re acting like the person I am running from, deciding what I get to wear or not, do you not like this dress? Because I thought you did.”
