[Group][Efthalia]: the one in the shopping centre?

[Group][Aconite]: Yes

[Group][Efthalia]: day after tomorrow?

[Group][Efthalia]: before the raid

[Group][Efthalia]: 4ish

[Group][Aconite]: Yes

[Group][Aconite]: God, I’m terrified.

[Group][Efthalia]: me too

[Group][Aconite]: But I’m looking forward to it??

[Group][Efthalia]: me too??

[Group][Efthalia]: shit how will I know who you are

[Group][Aconite]: I’ll be dressed as a penguin and reading The Financial Times

[Group][Efthalia]: then I’ll be wearing a red carnation and looking through a newspaper with two holes cut in it

[Group][Aconite]: Hee

[Group][Aconite]: Actually, I’m kind of ordinary looking, sort of blondish and I’ll be wearing a blue shirt

[Group][Aconite]: Sorry that probably doesn’t help

[Group][Aconite]: I’ll be reading a secondhand copy of A Canticle for Leibowitz

[Group][Efthalia]: So if I see someone with a brand new copy I’ve got the wrong dude

[Group][Aconite]: Yeah, he works for the KGB

[Group][Efthalia]: lol

[Group][Aconite]: Are you coming to the raid tonight

[Group][Efthalia]: didn’t sign up

[Group][Efthalia]: got a course deadline

[Group][Efthalia]: wasn’t sure I’d be free

[Group][Aconite]: See you on Wednesday then??

And just like that, Drew had a date.

Chapter Seven

When Wednesday finally came, he told Tinuviel and Sanee just in case Solace turned out to be some kind of serial killer who called himself Kit because he liked to chop people up and assemble new boyfriends out of the pieces.

“You do realise,” Sanee said ominously, “that this guy’s a geek, which means he’s probably going to look like me or, well, you.”

“What’s wrong with that?”
