Chapter Thirty-two
Intrepid
"Your dad wants to talk to me?" Intrepid repeated as Red turned on her heel and headed to the offices, and he felt required to follow her.
He glanced back at Future Luke, who gave a thumbs up. "See you around the polyverse, buddy." the blond said.
"I hope not." Intrepid said, "I'm retiring when this is done." He spun into the hallway and chased Red. He saw her turn right at the spiral, and used his manipulator to drop in next to her. She was walking fast. "What's he want to talk about?" Intrepid breathed.
"Probably he's looking for someone on the same brain-length to vent to." Red huffed. She gave him a sidelong glance. "Don't tell him I said that, of course." They stopped outside the solitary dark wood door.
What's the deal between us here? Intrepid wondered, although he knew better than to ask Red. Maybe he could ask future him? He stepped up to a retinal scanner, and let it scan his face to unlock the door. He considered Red as he pushed it open. She stepped back, not invited, or not wanting to come in, Intrepid figured. He still had so many questions. He turned away from her and stepped across the threshold.<ac_metadata title="Song of the Swans - Chapter 32 part 1"> </ac_metadata>
