Spotted - Quantum Fold Chapter 3/ 3
Adrienne froze, her breath catching. “You mean “us” is just us… only you and me? We’re the only jumpers left... and we’re supposed to save the planet?”
“Shhh, keep your voice down,” Kayla murmured, taking a gulp of wine. “For weeks, it was just me. But now you’re here—so things are finally looking up.”
She set her glass down and leaned in. “There are other jumpers, but they exist in the past, where they’re needed. I was part of a team—three of us were chosen to come here. We didn’t realize how much the reptiles had advanced. They’re sharper, deadlier. They’ve developed weapons like the disruptor, something they never had before. They can interfere with our VDDs, though they still can’t use them to jump.”
She hesitated, then lowered her voice further. “I think... somehow, they’ve mixed their DNA with humans.”
Adrienne’s heart pounded.
Kayla’s expression darkened as she continued, “They sensed my team almost immediately. They found Kara first—my sister. They caught her but killed her before they could get her to help them. Aria was next, four days later. And they nearly had you.”
Adrienne reached over, gripping Kayla’s hand. “I’m so sorry,” she whispered, pulling her into a hug.
Across the room, the waiter lingered near the entrance, chatting with a man in a gray suit. Kayla stiffened as they cast several glances their way. Then, without warning, the man in grey pivoted, slipping out of sight. The waiter turned and looked back over his shoulder at the girls before walking away.
Something was wrong.
“We’re done here,” Kayla said, standing abruptly. “It’s dangerous to stay in one place for too long. I have a place where they can’t reach us.”
She placed cash on the table, seized Adrienne’s hand—and they slipped out a side entrance into the alley.
Mere seconds later, the man in the gray suit reappeared with the waiter and another man, clad in a black suit.
They walked up to the empty booth, scanning the space where the two had just been.
They had missed the girls. But barely.
