She was breathing heavily as I looked down at her. She tried to get up but I placed a foot on her shoulder and held her down. Her eyes flicked between Terry and me. "What are you going to do?" She asked.
I nodded towards Terry, "How long is he going to be unconscious?"
She looked confused, but answered. "Twenty minutes or so." I let her go and offered her my hand. She pushed it way and scrambled to her feet. "You're Daniel, right?"
"Yeah, I'm Daniel," I replied confidently. "I know what you can do, but I want to know why you were inside Terry."
She blinked and looked scared for a moment before approaching me. She gently touched my face and told me to relax. I asked her again why she was inside Terry. She didn't reply but pushed hard on my chest. She looked at me confused and pushed again. "What's the matter? Locked out?" I smiled, "Can't get inside me?"
"N-no," she stuttered.
I told her how I'd been following Daniel, watched her get inside him yesterday and then chased him to an alley only to find him unconscious earlier in the evening. I explained how I discovered that I could also get inside the teenager and had decided to continue Daniel's life. I asked her again, "Why were you inside Terry?"
"After I left you," she nodded in my direction. "I needed someone else. From your memories--" I chuckled. She was already referring to me as Daniel. "I knew all the guys in your group had wealthy parents. But it was Terry who came to look for you. He always looked out for you even if you never realised it." She smiled for a moment, "I really made his day when I took him to the rest rooms in your body. He was good, but not as good as me when I was inside him." My memories of the rest room rang true. He could hardly take half of my monster. "So when I came across Terry, I acted like I was drunk. When he helped me, I pushed inside him. I quickly found out that he hadn't put his money in the night safe like you, so it was easy to get.
