Brick nervously tapped his fingers on his chair's armrest. He had gotten a reply to his request about the strange on his starship, and it wasn't a moment too soon. The girl seemed to get more withdrawn the longer she stayed in his starship. The crew once went out of their way to accommodate her, now they simply did the best they could to keep her from interfering with the daily activities of the StarShip.
Della blankly stared out the window in front of her in the cockpit of the Star Travel Machine. Millions of stars floated in front of her. If she squinted, she could pretend she was visiting the capital of her country and seeing the bright lights of the buildings once more. How long had it been now? Days? Weeks? It felt like eternity since she saw her own mother and father. Heard her own language. Eaten a meal that she could actually recognize.
She thought about Geoffery. The boy she was going to ask out if she got into the Youth Games. She was normally so shy around guys, but it would have been nice to try. She had imagined getting an entire bouquet of flowers from him if she managed to win just one medal.
Then one man took it all away from her. A man with the powers of electricity and eyes hungry for information. He was far away now, Della hoped. She thought she would be happier. But now, she was even more sad than before.
