With their lunch already in hand, Dustin and Judith went to find a table outside the mall.
The breeze was a bit chilly but the sun was shining in all its splendor, they hadn't seen it shine like that in many months and Judith loved to be near the sea, so it was worth sitting out there, despite the cold, which, to be frank, at least Dustin was already used to, and Judith didn't even seem to notice.
"So? What did the Captain tell you, will he be able to crack the document?
"Everything seems to indicate yes, maybe he'll have an answer for me tomorrow. Although, he said something about a code unknown to him".
Judith stopped eating.
"Unknown? You mean not from the Earth?"
This time it was Dustin who stopped munching.
"What do you mean 'not from the Earth'?
As indiscreet as she usually was, Judith knew her limits and was aware that saying certain things would get her into trouble.
"Uh, forget it, I was rambling", she replied after a few hesitant seconds. "Your father is sure to find out what it is and will inform us. Better tell me, did you talk to Robin about the wedding?"
Dustin blinked, Judith's words had certainly piqued his curiosity, but the mention of Robin's name, as always, managed to divert his attention.
"Yep", he replied "I asked him to be my best man, and he agreed",
"Cool."
"I also told him about Gillon."
"Aw, and how did he take it?"
"Not great, but at least he's been warned".
"How about you? Did you get a chance to tell Juliette?"
"Not yet, she couldn't come today, work stuff, the kid, and so on. But maybe we'll see each other sometime this week and then I'll tell her."
"Good."
