That was it. Kaleigh left Robin's house and headed for hers. She decided to walk in order to calm herself down, but-- What were those tears that appeared in her eyes as she walked? Where were the friggin' suppressants when you needed them? Maybe they weren't working anymore? On top of it, Collin cried all the way too.
It turned out Collin was hungry.
"That's why you were crying. "Why didn't I think of that? First time mum mistake, I guess". She quickly took out the bottle and gave it to Collin. "I'm sorry, here you are little one, enjoy".
That calmed him immediately.
"Phew, thank the gods for baby formula".
Meanwhile, still at home, Robin had finished checking the two files that Kaleigh had given to him. Sure enough he couldn't open the second one, but that wouldn't be a problem, he knew someone that could certainly do it, his best friend and genius: Dustin Shen."
He changed to more comfortable and less flashy clothes to try to go unnoticed for the surveillance cameras. Thankfully it was still dark, that would help, but you couldn't be sure in the over-monitored Oasis Landing streets.
He had hope that Emit had been able to stop all the process. But he couldn't stay and find out. He had to leave Oasis Landing without delay.
"Damn it", he mumbled as he descended. All this was so absurd and unfair, having to leave his place, the home where he had lived happily and without worries for so many years.
"Forgive me, Collin. I'll do my utmost to come back someday".
Anyway, there was no time for regrets or second thoughts. He should get out of there before the police and their tracker plumbots would arrive. And before the drones would start hovering the place, looking for him.
"Well, goodbye home sweet home. Goodbye to the Future-- for now".
