Jaya asks for the vidcell. She dials a number, turning the video back on. An older woman with brown hair turning grey apapears on the small screen. A look of shock comes over the woman. "Jaya," she says, "what's happened? I saw your picture on the news! They say you're an elite terrorist! My goodness, that's not true, is it?"
"No, aunt Judy, don't believe any of that stuff they say about me on the TV, it's all lies. My friends and I are being set up," Jaya responds.
"So you're not an elite then? Why would they say these things? What did you do?" Judy says, perplexed.
Jaya rubs her forehead, grimacing a little. "Well, no, it turns out I am an elite...it's a long story," she says. "Aunt Judy, I need to ask a really big favor. We need a place to stop for a couple of hours, do you mind if we stop there? We won't be any longer than we have to be, I promise."
"Of course, dear," Judy tells her, "if you didn't do anything wrong, then I believe you. Have you called your parents? I called them when I saw you on the TV. They're worried about you, Jaya."
"I know, but I can't, not yet," Jaya says. "They would ask too many questions and I don't want them involved in this. I don't want to involve you either, but I have no where else to turn right now."
Judy's expression turns to pity. "You poor girl. Gerald and I will help you any way we can."
"Thanks," Jaya says, smiling. "We should be there in about 90 minutes. I need you to sterilize some water for me, and maybe set up a table with an old tablecloth in a well lit room. I'm going to need to perform some emergency surgery when we get there."
"Oh, my, is someone hurt?" Judy asks.
"No, it's more like elective surgery, but it is rather important," Jaya responds.
Judy sighs, but smiles. "I understand, you don't want to talk about it. You've always been a stuborn girl, I know better than to pry. I'll have supper ready when you get here, too. See you soon," she says as she smiles and waves.
"Bye," Jaya says with a smile, before turning the cell off. "Okay, looks like things are a go," she says with relief.
