patting the last of the moisture out of her hair.
"You aren't even dressed yet. If we can’t run this operation efficiently, then we’re wasting our time," he said.
Lola grumbled under her breath and pulled thermal underwear over her damp t-shirt.
Justin walked toward her as if he was going to grab her. Out of nowhere came the sound of digital pinging. Both of them stood stock still in their steps. Justin glared at her. She gasped, pressing her hands to her heart.
"What is that?" Justin demanded. "Do you have a cell phone in here?"
"Of course not!"
Her heart was beating a million miles a minute. He stormed past her, toward her cot, and lifted the thin mattress off the base. She'd hidden it in a dugout spot in the frame, but he felt around and found it easily. He pulled it out and shoved it into her face.
" This is a cell phone!" he yelled.
Justin flicked his hand across the screen and looked at what had made the pinging.
"What is this? ‘Lola, please wait for me’, from Mate.com?" he roared.
"It's a game," she said.
She couldn't believe he’d found her phone. How had it suddenly pinged in her tent? She could never get cell reception in camp.
"I knew that carrying this Wi-Fi hotspot would come in handy," Justin said, taking a black device out of his pocket. "I'm using it to find spies, but I never expected one to be you."
"I was just bored."
"Don't think I don't know what Mate.com is. That website is exactly what we're fighting against. Those monsters can't be allowed to mate with human women. It's unnatural and disgusting. It must be stopped," Justin screamed. "I can't believe that you would subject yourself to this. Who is this shifter?"
"I don't know," she said, wondering what the text meant. He'd said “wait for me”.
"How could you do this, Lola?" Justin demanded. “I thought you supported the movement. Why are you here, little sister?" Justin said moving dangerously close to her.
He was standing over her with his hands on his hips, her cell phone crushed in his fist. He reached out and grasped her neck with his empty hand, squeezing slowly until she couldn't breathe.
He stared into her eyes. "You are on thin ice, little sister," he said. "I would watch myself if I were you."
He looked down at her, staring at the outline of her breasts under her thermal underwear. He reached up and squeezed her breast. She tried to back away but he wrapped his other arm around her and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
"You know," he said. "Today is the anniversary of our father's death. He always told me to protect you. That you are my sister. But a real sister would never betray her brother, so I guess you aren't really my sister. Are you?"
"I am your sister.”
"The way I see it, if you betray me, Lola. You aren’t my sister. And if you aren't my sister, then you're just the camp whore," Justin sneered, slowly stepping away from her and letting go of her breast.
She let out a breath she was holding and backed away.
"It was just a game," she said. "I was curious and bored, please forgive me, brother."
"I forgive you, for now," Justin said.
He turned and stormed out of her tent, her cell phone in his hand.
Lola continued getting ready for a day in the lab. She put on her thin jacket and grabbed her facemask, irritated that she had lost her cell phone. The shifter had said “wait for me”. What did that mean? Where was he going? How long would it take for him to come back?
She couldn't ask him any of those questions because Justin had taken her cell phone. He had a gun case full of electronics he’d taken from people over the last year.
He'd actually shot a man for bringing in an iPad mini into camp. Lola didn't know if the man had survived or not. All she knew was that the next day, he was gone.
Justin had suspected him of being an undercover agent, spying for the police or the FBI. Justin was paranoid, but he should be, what he was doing to the people of Fate Mountain was horribly wrong.
