"Linh, I'm going to take them to see Johnny." Tam whispered, before pulling the shadows around him.
"Alright." I replied.
---Flashback---
"Dallas Winston!" Sophie shouted, "We'll come with you, whether you like it or not! If you don't bring us, you'll be sorry! You'll wish you brought us!" Dallas is really getting on my nerves. We're only trying to save the people that mean the most to him. They'll die if he doesn't let us come.
"No way! That would ruin the secrecy." Dallas shot back. "Plus, I don't know if I can trust you."
"They're at the church in Windrixville." Sophie said. Maybe he'll listen now. "I've known for a week."
"Fine. You two only." Dallas pointed at Sophie and me. Fitz and Tam looked furious and overly protective.
"If they come back with a scratch..." Tam threatened. The shadows grew thicker. The threat was that much scarier because he left it unfinished.
"Deal." Sophie said, "You won't regret it. Linh, come on." Sophie and I followed Dallas to a car. I gasped, seeing that we'd have to ride in it.
"Yeah, she's a beauty, ain't she. But this ain't mine, it's Buck's." Dallas said, mistaking my gasp for one of awe, instead of fear. Sophie squeezed my hand reassuringly.
"Not too fast." Sophie said.
"Well, fast is the only speed I got." Dallas said, "Take it. Or leave it."
"Fine." she said.
It'll be okay. she transmitted.
Mr. Forkle was complaining about cars in the twenty-first century. How will they be in 1965? I thought.
"Hurry up." Dallas ordered. We get in the car. With every mile, I got paler.
Don't worry. Sophie transmitted. Dallas may be reckless, but he won't crash. I couldn't think. I barely managed to nod.
"Alright, here we are." Dallas said, "Wait here."
"So, here we are." I whispered.
"You should probably start collecting water." Sophie replied, "Can you hold it for a while? Dallas will take us to breakfast."
"I think so." I said. I was unsure how long my control would last, before faltering, and the water slipping beyond my grasp.
"You can always take my hand." she said.
"I know."
"Hey! Sleeping beauty, wake up!" Dallas shouted, shaking a boy with reddish brown hair. We're standing near the door, so we watch as a girl with the same reddish brown hair whips out a switch and holds it to his throat.
"Hey! Tess, it's just me! I ain't gonna kill you. No need for that!" Dallas said, laughing at the embarrassment on her face.
"Sorry Dal, I guess I was a little jumpy. I didn't mean to." Tess said.
"No worries. Hey, Blondie! I gotta letter for you!" Dallas waved a folded piece of paper in the boy's face.
"A letter? Who from?" asked the boy.
The President, of course, stupid. It's from Soda." Dallas said, "He wrote a bit to you too, Tess."
"Soda?" Tess said. "But how did he know?"
