Chapter 563
The next movie played through. More intelligent than the last, it lacked the terrible effects but managed to have some of the same clunky acting. Katelina hoped the third selection was better.
Marna got up to eject the disc, and Brandle made a show of stretching. "This is a party, isn't it? We should play a game."
"What game?" Hannah asked.
He scratched his chin and looked thoughtful. "Hmmmm. How about-Hide Fox?" They blinked and he grinned. "I'm sorry, Hide and Seek they call it now."
The selection seemed childish, but if the others thought so they didn't say. It was agreed that Kai would remain in the TV room, with the door locked to be safe, and the base would be the door itself.
"I'll be 'it' first, shall I?" Brandle volunteered. "You'd better hide quickly, I count fast."
He hid his eyes and the others took off. Katelina stood helplessly in the hall behind him, trying to come to terms with a group of adults playing a kindergarten game.
