“They… they know where you live. They could f-find you again. We can’t stay here. We have to move.” Jack said quietly. “I. I’m no…. I’m no match for them… I, I wish I was. I wish I was stronger and a hero and smarter but I can’t fight them, I… I’m useless but all I can do is help you and, and move. We can leave. We can go somewhere else, s-somewhere they won’t find you. Where they won’t find us.”
“J-Jack..” she whimpered, her hand grabbing some of his shirt to cling to him in desperation, her eyes scrunched up. “I-It might not matter where I go..Psycho Delic can easily find me..he has eyes all over the city. A-And it doesn’t help that I work for KMCP and expose myself on the news. I wanted to be a reporter and it got me in trouble. I’m so stupid! Trouble always finds me..”
“So-so what can I do?” he asked, voice cracking. “Wh-what’s the point of me, K-Katelynn? I can’t protect you I, I can’t do anything for you!” there was obvious frustration and pain in his voice as he spoke, speaking the honest to God truth. “I can’t fight, I, I can’t be an inventor, I can’t… I can’t do anything at all a-and you’re out there getting in trouble and not even telling me or, or why would you what can I do? What can I do…”
