She walked around to his front side, angling her head at his face. “If dummy me can believe it, I don’t get why you can’t?”
“Because I understand how this works and for it to work is impossible,” he said to the floor.
Maybe Ethan can help him.
“Great idea!”
He looked at her and that beautiful face of his made her forget her dang name. “What is?”
“Zero said Ethan can help.”
She watched Omnis walk in careful patterns, arms crossed.
“You calculating?” Cat asked.
“Yes, I’m calculating. Calculating how stupid Zero is.”
Ask him why it’s stupid.
“Why? Why’s that stupid?”
“Are you asking or is Zero?” Omnis demanded, velvety words whipping as he faced her.
“Prove it,” Cat said, tossing her hand at him. “Prove it’s not possible then.”
Great suggestion, Kitten.
“I will not entertain Zero through your mouth.”
“That wasn’t him, that was me,” she begged to differ. “Prove to me why it’s impossible. Dumb it down. Way down. Zero managed to do it to save both of you, I’m sure you’re smart enough to know how to be stupid enough for me.”
I love your feisty side.
“Thank you.”
“I haven’t agreed to anything,” Omnis informed.
“I was thanking Zero.”
Omnis suddenly stalked across the room.
“Where’s he going?” Cat wondered.
Better go find out.
Something in his tone sent her racing across the room and through the door he entered.
Down that hall.
Cat hurried, running into that wall in her muscles.
Door on your right, Kitten.
She opened it, finding Omnis standing before an empty glass enclosure, staring.
Is he okay? What’s he doing?
Wondering where I went. My Doppelganger was here.
