Chapter 83: Involuntary Volunteer

"And you're sure it's safe to stay here?" Parker asks.

Judy blinks confused. "Uh, no? Of course I'm not sure! If someone finds us, we'll probably go to jail. So you guys have to stay on the low."

"They better not find us soon. Do you know how much work it took to teleport an entire machine?"

Walter pushes a few buttons of his Materializer, probably to check if it's still working. 

I sink down onto the cold ground and pull the knees up to my chest.

Who would have thought that our journey would lead us back to where it all started? 

Now we are inside an unused basement of the tropical beach hotel where I had met all of my friends present.

Parker in his room. Judy at the snack machine. And Walter during the conference.

We are back at point 0. Or at least it feels like it.

"How long has it been? 10 months?" I wonder out loud as I play with my hair to calm my nerves.
