Adedayo Igwe wakes up and stares at the ceiling.

Because it's a day like any other, he spends no more than five minutes doing that before sitting up and stretching. He scratches his back then swings his legs to the side and stares at the floor for another minute or so. Then he gets up and finds clothes, absolutely ordinarily. They're nice, and very similar to one another. He goes to his bathroom, and he brushes his teeth. He returns to his bedroom and sits on his bed again. He waits there until his alarm tells him it's time for breakfast. He makes it stop chiming, and gets up again. He walks towards his door. He stops before opening it.

He pings Anthony.

[Who?]

Permalink

[… Why?]

Permalink

[Because you're taking us to a strange place and it just now occurred to me I have no idea why we're even going along with it or why we should trust you.]

Permalink

[… This didn't occur to you before?]

Permalink

[Well no, clearly!]

Permalink

[You don't plan on attacking them or anything like that, do you?]

Permalink

[Do I sound suicidal to you.]

Permalink

[No, so hopefully you won't?]

Permalink

[I won't!]

Permalink

[It's the driver.]

Permalink

[Why would you trust the fucking driver.]

Permalink

[… If they were providing a location anyway, it's not like it matters?]

Permalink

[You're sure you can trust them?]

Permalink

[I am sure enough I chose to do this – the Leader is hardly better.]

Permalink

[Fine.]

Permalink

[… Sorry if that's not particularly reassuring.]

Permalink

[It's fine.]

Anyone else who needs comforting?

Permalink

No, not particularly.

Then Anthony will reassure himself there is probably not much more he can do.

Permalink

And here's how it goes wrong:

[Er, why is your truck going somewhere else?]

Permalink

[… I have no idea but I should probably ask –?]

Permalink

[You should have already asked!]

Permalink

To the driver: [What's up with the truck?]

Permalink

[Ours, nothing, but the other two are going somewhere else and won't answer the radio!]
