Chapter 117: Trying to Get Groped

After some time had passed and everyone had calmed down after the ball of light incident, Zak decided he was going to come over near Pearl and I to see if anything would happen.

"If you don't go and talk to these girls, this cowboy over here is going to," Aaron said, as he momentarily filmed Zak heading toward us.

Zak walked his way over, acting the part of an interested cowboy and I had to struggle not to smile or react in such a way that would ruin the interaction.

"If I was you, I'd hurry up!" Aaron said. "Claim your territory," he added.

Zak reached Pearl and I, and stopped closer to me.

I swallowed back a lump that had formed in my throat from his close proximity.

Focus Ali!

"You guys get shy all of a sudden?" Pearl asked, and almost immediately, something strange happened.

The music that had been playing through the victrola had stopped.

I momentarily felt confused, since the music hadn't reached an end, but then wondered if that was the only sound bite the researchers could put together.

After a few seconds of silence, Zak spoke.

"You know what's weird," Zak said, looking toward Aaron. "That music was on repeat..." Zak added.

Woah.

"Yeah," Aaron said, in realization.

"As soon as she started talking it stopped," Zak said.

"That shouldn't happen," Aaron replied.

We stood silent for a few seconds more, and with no other activity, Zak spoke again.

"Do you like what I brought for you?" Zak asked, taking a few steps closer to me. I could feel his eyes briefly on me, even in the near pitch black of the room. "Do you want me to take them away?"

We all stood silent, waiting for a response – nothing happened.

"Do you like me being around them?" Zak asked.

Shortly after Zak's response, I suddenly felt a shiver go down my spine, and I started to feel slightly cold.

"I feel cold all of a sudden," Pearl said, looking down at her arms.

"Yeah, me too. Felt a shiver go down my spine," I said, moving a hand up to hover in the air between us.

It felt cold.

Zak stepped over so he was right beside me now, and held his hand out near mine, and I saw his hand flinch.

"There's a cold spot right here between them," Zak said, looking toward Aaron once again. "Anything on the SLS Billy?" Zak asked, glancing in his direction.

"Nope, just picking up the three of you," Billy responded, who had been running the Structured Light Camera the entire time. "Nothing on thermal either," he added, after stepping over toward the Thermal Imaging Camera to take a peek at the screen.

"I don't feel it anymore," I said, moving my hand around a bit, and the temperature seemed to return to normal.

"Me either," Pearl said. "This is weird, they're usually more active than this," she added.

Zak lowered his hand as well and seemed to think briefly before he spoke.

"Do you guys want to go back there," Zak started, motioning to the "backstage" area. "And we'll leave you by yourselves?" Zak added, his attention more on me than Pearl.
