Chapter 73: Back, Part 1

"Morning!" Jack said.

Lexi rolled over out of the light with a groan.

"Come on Baby Girl, let's get a move on." He handed her a bowl.

"Mmm- What is that?" She sat up and grabbed the bowl.

"Oatmeal. A safe house wouldn't be complete if it didn't have food."

"It's not bad," she said around a mouthful.

"Finish up quick. We'll get you dressed and ready to go, then head out."

"Do I have to wear those clothes again? They're too big."

"Unfortunately, yes. I wasn't able to find travel clothes in your size. But, don't worry, once we find our transportation it will only be a few hours home."

Lexi sighed. "Okay."

"That's pretty," Lexi commented as she adjusted her sunglasses.

"Imagine this, but without the solar towers and covered in green."
