Once in the studio…
"Well?" Karen asked, as soon as Dylan closed the door behind them.
"You see, as I explained to you a while ago, Robin's parents are living in a place called Lunar Lakes, which is naturally not in our planet, we don't have the exact location yet, so we'll need the help of a certain someone to locate it"
"You mean Emit?"
"Well, Emit probably knows how to get there, but we don't know where he is right now. Fortunately, Bjorn has someone who can help us not only to find the place but to actually get there."
"Oh yeah? And how does Bjorn plan to send this 'someone' to another planet, is he a Rocket scientist now?"
"He probably is, but he doesn't have a rocket of his own, which is why we need someone who can travel to outer space."
"You don't say", Karen reacted. "Someone like his alien friend, that green, sexy girl from Mars who abducted him that one time?" She mocked.
"Actually, she's the only one who could take us to Lunar Lakes".
"Oh, no, Dyl, tell me you are kidding."
"I am not, and she's not green, I mean..."
“She is green but she's not from Mars. Aaand she's not sexy, she's not, at all", Dylan assured. "She didn't abduct Bjorn either, that's an urban legend, but she's a seasoned space traveler and owns a supersonic ship."
"Supersonic ship, huh? I see Bjorn has filled your head with his silly fantasies again."
"You don't get it, Sopeha is not a fantasy, she's a real alien, and she's the only one who can help us in this case." Dylan insisted.
"Wait a second, Sopeha?"
"Yes, that's her name."
"Well, that's quite a name, sounds like a stripper's name."
"Karen, please…"
"No, seriously, Dyl, she sounds dangerous, but don't think I'll just sit back and let her take my husband from me".
"Karen, come on, she's not going to take anything from you."
"Sure she is, she already tried to steal Bjorn from Gundrun, didn't she?"
"She didn't steal anything from her, she's just a collaborator of Bjorn's."
"Right, and now she wants to 'collaborate' with you."
"No, she doesn't, she's just going to show us how to get to Lunar Lakes."
"Really? Well, I don't want that woman 'showing' you anything, in fact I don't want her anywhere near you, okay?"
"Karen, you're being unreasonable, Sopeha just…"
"Stop right there. Don't you mention that name again, I don't want to hear anything about her in this house, okay?"
"Darling, you have nothing to worry about, chances are I won't even get to meet her, it's Robin who might have to travel with her."
"Robin? Oh great, Juliette sure would love to hear that!"
"Juliette will support Robin in any way that will help him find his family".
"Jul is very jealous, I don't think she wants that woman near him."
"She has no reason to be jealous, and neither do you, dear." Dylan said, moving closer.
"I'm not… jealous" Karen staggered.
"Yes, you are, but like I said, you have nothing to worry about, I'm not interested in anyone but you, and you know it."
"Yeah, well..." Karen replied flushed, then a bit less angry: "Forgive me, I must sound crazy to you, but I swear I'm not jealous… Okay, I am, a little, but that's not why I don't want you around this 'Sopeha'. It is something else, like a feeling; don't ask me why but I don't trust her."
"So you don't trust Sopeha, you don't trust Robin, I don't think you trust Emit either... Do you at least trust me?" Dylan asked; Karen was speechless.
"Mom? Can I have breakfast?" Logan's voice came from the study door.
Karen and Dylan turned to him at the same time.
"Sure honey, I'll be with you in a second," she replied.
As soon as Logan left the studio, Karen turned to Dylan again:
"I trust you, Dyl, but this discussion is far from over."
"Well, I'm afraid it'll have to wait, because Bjorn just texted me, he's already talked to Sopeha, he's coming over to tell me how it went."
"Good grief, Dylan Shen", Karen gasped.
And then she stormed out of the studio; Dylan sighed.
"Well, Bjorn, I hope this is all worth it".
