Never Listens
Alright Sibyl, message Sally.
Joe: I thought I said to stay safe.
Sally: I am safe.
Joe: No you're not! You're going after a cop killer. That is the exact opposite of safe!
Sally: I'm not some damsel in distress, Joe. I can look after myself. I have a brown belt in Smack-Fu and a blue belt in Trash-Talk.
Sally: I also shop on Black Friday.
Joe: I know you can look after yourself.
...
Joe: I just worry. About you. You know.
Sally: You don't need to worry about me. You have enough to worry about, like stopping a mad bomber from destroying a power plant.
Sally: Let me take care of
...
Joe: Sally?
...
Joe: Sally!
...
Sally: Sorry, the cop killer just arrived.
Joe: Where are you?
Sally: Relax. I'm at a VirtNet cafe.
Sally: I'm in a virtual pod. On the Net.
Sally: He won't bother me. Doubt he even knows I'm here.
Sally: Even if he did, I'm just another customer.
...
Sally: Now what's he doing?
Joe: What's the site? I'm logging in.
Sally: No. You've got a bomber to deal with. The bomber already attacked the European Union embassy and the Transbeing Rights office. I can't let more people suffer because of me.
Joe: Eh...I guess...Just keep me
Sally: Wait. That's. He's with a Dark Web Eraser. He's going to have the Eraser wipe out his digital existence and give him a new one! No one will be able to find him!
Sally: Sorry, Joe, gotta go.
Joe: Sally! Wait! Don't!
Sally: It's all right. I'm...
...
Sally: He's got a byte blaster! Look out!!
Joe: Sally!
