DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Issue #2

"Yeah. You better hang up. I'm used to using secure lines. We should be out of the immediate area they would be scanning. We're really two sectors away from where they should be conducting their search." Coach pulled off and headed towards the gas station. He turned down the music the kids had been playing. "Who needs to head in for anything?"

Gabe was met with immediate silence on the phone. Then, "Dude, what do ya mean, you're a mutant? How did that happen. We were just hanging at your house the other day. What's your powers? Can you do cool stuff. Whooaaa, the cops are after you right. Where are ya? What are ya gonna do?"

Kyle tired several different ideas with chip. None of them produced any different results. It just continued to shimmy in his hand. No faster and no slower.

"I'll go buy some juice and food, so we won't have to stop if someone get hungry. Lorenzo and cie should do the same. We could even skip the dinner if we take what it is needed. And only stop late at night." suggests Andrwe to the Coach.

Corey Vinyard

"No problem, ma'am we'll get that right out to you in about . . . ummm . . . what's that? . . . the cook's still in Smalltown . . . Ummm . . . ma'am, guess you'll have to settle for cold-cuts and a smile," Lorenzo replied. "As for gas, not a problem, Corey's looking like he needs to stretch his legs anyway."

"Hu-what?" Corey starts slightly upon hearing his name, from what must have been an engrossing day dream. "Lorenzo, who's that? Are we supposed to be, like, talking to people?"

Lorenzo Reynolds HPs:2/2

"Hu-what? . . . Lorenzo, who's that? Are we supposed to be, like, talking to people?"

"It's okay, man," Lorenzo replied. "That was Eleyna on the phone telling us to pull over at the next gas station with them. If it wasn't cool, I'm betting the coach woulda said something. So everyone, we're stopping fer gas and whatever else coming right up!"

Lorenzo continued to tap on the steering wheel in time to the music playing on the stereo, pleased that the last few hours had passed without incident.

Kyle Graham, hp 2/2

Kyle clears his throat. "Okay, guys.. I want you to do me a favor. SHUT off all the phones okay?" he asks neverously as he considers what the chip might be. Some sort of trace detector. "Coach, I got one of my dad's old chip sets here and the thing is throbbing from the moment the phone rang.."

Gabriel 'Gabe' Adams, HP 2/2

Gabe was met with immediate silence on the phone. Then, "Dude, what do ya mean, you're a mutant? How did that happen. We were just hanging at your house the other day. What's your powers? Can you do cool stuff. Whooaaa, the cops are after you right. Where are ya? What are ya gonna do?"

Kyle clears his throat. "Okay, guys.. I want you to do me a favor. SHUT off all the phones okay?" he asks neverously as he considers what the chip might be. Some sort of trace detector. "Coach, I got one of my dad's old chip sets here and the thing is throbbing from the moment the phone rang.."

Gabe's head snapped round at Kyle's comment. Then he began speaking very fast. "Chris, I....I can't talk about this now. They're looking for me. OK? Look, if...if I can, I'll try to contact you later. I'm..I'm sorry." Gabe ended the call abruptly and took a deep breath, putting his phone on the seat and watching it as if it were some kind of poisonous snake. Then he looked at Eleyna, seeking some comfort from her presence.

Eleyna Robertson

Seeing his discomfort, Eleyna tried to reassure Gabe. "Don't worry. You weren't on for very long, so I doubt anyone could trace a call that quickly. Just turn your phone off for now, and it'll be fine. 'Sides, you can just "zap" 'em if anyone shows up, right?"

Gabe offers a weak smile at Eleyna's attempt to cheer him up and turns off his phone. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks." Gabe looks at his hand for a moment, and then smiles sheepishly at Eleyna. "As soon as I, uh, figure out how this 'zapping' thing works. Preferably without breaking anything important." 'Or anyone.'
