(IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]

[ericthered]

Peter is in the area for two more days, keeping to the same routine. They never do back to him about letting him back through the portal. General Thurmond sends him an email the morning of the 6th (local time, 13th back home):



We are still discussing your use in negotiations and espionage. Don't expect anything over the weekend- Gen. Thurmond

The Soldiers seem to have been told to leave his mornings alone for schoolwork, at least for now. Or something. He goes out after lunch each day hunting portals. On the 13th, they don't close them, and don't even approach them: they just want him to count how many he can sense as they drive down the freeway: it seems there's one every four miles or less.

On Friday Evening, he goes to sleep, and dreams.

Peter dreams of the cloning facility with the cat-girl. He dreams of men patrolling, cleaning, and shouting at each other. He dreams of the cat-girl climbing into a box and whispering "almost there", and of men loading the box into an iron shipping container.
