"20 questions, part 2..." she says, smiling and trying to forget the trouble they're in. "Tyrone, stay off the interstate. Take Route 24 to the I-60, head east for an hour until you hit Burlington. Turn north there, and I think you turn east into Nebraska after about 40 minutes, not sure what road it is, but it'll take us to the Trenton, the ranch is a few miles southwest of it...speaking of which, I'd better give them a call soon, tell them to be expecting us.
"The chips are only sub-dermal, at the base of the neck, not really in the head. They are connected to the nervous system, but disconnecting them is much easy than putting them in. It's a delicate process, but a fairly quick one. I brought some needles, stiching thread and local anesthetic from the centre. And, yes, I have one too, though it doesn't hold as much information as yours do. I don't know if this scares you as much as it does me, Sarah, but I think I'll need your help taking mine out..." she says, bandaging her shoulder. She waits for Aaron to finish eating before treating the burn on his chest.
"As for what we do after...one step at a time. The feds assuredly will try to re-capture us, though I don't know how well known the project was in Washington. It doesn't exactly scream 'legal', so I'm certain it was pretty hush-hush. And I don't think they'll send the FBI after us, we can handle ourselves against a few armed officers, as we showed them back at the center. I'm sure they're going to want to get you back in one piece...unless we get the implants out, then I'm not sure any of us wil be of any use to them anymore..." she adds, wondering if that's a good thing or bad.
