Chapitre 288: Chapter 288: Investigation

Jill nabbed my elbow as I turned away, head down while she led me further from the others now gathered in the foyer. "Here." She shoved a badge in my hands and I gaped at it, then at her, my mind for the moment unable to fathom what she was offering me and why. "Crew's deputized you for the duration of our time trapped here." He what? Jill didn't sound totally happy with the situation, either. Huh, that was weird. She was usually on my side. Then again, she was the one running the show, wasn't she? I nodded, tucking the badge into my pocket.

"I'll follow your lead, Jill, whatever you need." She seemed reassured, exhaling a breath it looked like she'd been holding and her smile, the familiar one I liked so much, returned.
