"Sorry." Then he thought about the mild nausea he was feeling. "I mean that."

He looked over her face and she looked over his. Then he said, "I will try to help you up here. If we are in one of those one-way capsules then we've got a lot of time to get to know each other."

"Yea. But is Jack safe?"

"Yes. I am pretty certain of that." Then he heard the latches on the case. Somebody started prying it open. They heard, "Erisa, Jack, you OK?"

It was Frank. Randy said, "Fuck you."

Erisa said, "Yea Frank, fuck you."

"Good to hear it. Glad to hear you guys are awake."

He broke off pieces of foam and continued, "Listen, up here there is no way out." Jack was cracking his way out now, "Jack, you can't arrest me, because we are all going to live in one big room, at least for awhile. We want to talk with you. There are six of us out here." He started breaking the plastic away from Erisa. Quickly both Erisa and Randy were loose.
