TIME TRAVELER: E209. SOPEHA'S BOSS - Part 2

"Okay, see you all soon. Bjorn, I'll call you when I've spoken to my supervisor," she said.

"Thank you, Sophie, I'll escort you to the door", Bjorn hurried answer.

"No need, thank you, I know the way," Sopeha told him as she walked out of the studio.

“I know the way", Karen scoffed. "Of course she knows it, she must know the whole house very well indeed."

"Really, Bjorn, you and Sopeha…?" Dylan inquired.

"Like I said, she's my collaborator, we've worked together in this studio many times."

"Yeah, I can imagine," Karen teased again.

"It's not what you think," Bjorn replied. "Yes, Sopeha is stunning, but I love Gundrun, you know I do. Besides, Sopeha would never look at me. In case you didn't notice, she's smitten with her 'boss'."

"Smitten?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah, he's like her hero, she talks a lot about him; the captain did this, the captain did that, she practically has him on an altar. Of course, he can't reciprocate because he's married as well, and he allegedly adores his wife."

"Sounds like quite the drama," Dylan said.

"It is to Sopeha, but she's a smart girl and copes with it well."

"Yeah? Well, I don't think she's coping, rather she's waiting for the opportunity to take that woman's husband away from her. She's not a 'guardian', but an interplanetary homewrecker, since apparently, she's only attracted to married men".

"Bjorn never said Sopeha wanted to steal anyone's husband," Dylan clarified.

"I still don't trust her, she's too mysterious."

"Yeah, that's what's fascinating about her," Bjorn opined.

"Fascinating? I would say suspicious. She acted strange when we talked about Robin, she asked questions beside the point. Plus, she didn't mention the name of her boss."

"That's true. In the time I've known her, she's never said who he is," Bjorn corroborated.

"Maybe he thought it was irrelevant cause we don't know him," Dylan replied. "And her personal stuff is none of our business anyway. All we should care about is she may help Robin get to Lunar Lakes."

"But what if she's not who she says she is? If she's a hijacker, or if she and her boss are one of those bounty hunters she mentioned?"

"As far as I know, the Alliance is a peaceful force, dedicated to do good." Bjorn clarified.

"Okay, but still, if she has a crush on her boss, that means she has a thing for married men, and it's obvious she likes you, so who's to say Dylan won't be next on her list?" Karen claimed.

"For God's sake, K," Dylan objected; Bjorn just shook his head.

"Why don't we stop speculating and let Sopeha talk to her boss? If he's the amazing guy she says he is, and these Guardians are the good guys, maybe they truly can help us. Let's be patient and wait for her answer, okay?" He suggested.

"That's right, let's give her a chance," Dylan agreed.

"I don't know," Karen answered. "We better watch her closely, she might be 'phoning home' right now to ask her boss for permission to destroy us".

“Well, if you're afraid she may 'destroy us', all the more reason to be nicer to her, don't you think?"

"Bjorn has a point." Dylan said, Karen heaved a sigh.

"You two are hopeless".
