"Daniel put Faith and me in charge, can you believe that? But he doesn't want us to go until the other team gets back from the transmitter site, so it won't be for a couple of days, I guess."
George finished her sea turtle stew. "No, I told them why I had to go, so no distractions necessary. Besides, like I said--enough people know by now that it'll be common knowledge very soon. Even if most of them don't believe it, they'll have heard."
She paused, thinking about her conversation with Clarice a few days ago. George glanced at Carlos and smiled, feeling that welcome but unfamiliar thrill she got when she looked at him. "Speaking of which, I need to find Clarice and talk to her."
George told Carlos about Clarice's discovery of her fake passport and the conversation they had. "She's been a friend and I don't want her to hear it from anyone but me...whether she believes it or not. She trusted me, so I need to talk to her now. I'll catch up with you later, okay?"
She gave Carlos a goodbye kiss--which he held and made much more thorough before letting her go. George was distantly aware of a rising chorus of oohs and aahs around them. "Come back soon," he said.
George stared at him, flushed, her breathing suddenly more difficult, and suddenly overcome with the urge to drag him back to the shelter and molest him. "You fight dirty," she said.

"That's how you win."
She grinned at him. "Back soon."
