suburbs”.
The rest of breakfast time was uneventful.
“Can I please borrow some of your clothes?” asked Lon, “These ones smell like canal water”.
“Um, yeah, I think I have some spare that you can have,” said Chris.
“And is there by any chance anything of Sonja’s that Eve could borrow too?” asked Lon.
“I’ll go and take a look,” said Chris, and he left to go to his bedroom.
“I finished fixing the palm screens,” said Lon to Eve.
“Oh, that’s good,” she replied.
Lon walked to the workstation and picked up both devices. He first handed Eve hers, then carefully fitted his own, trying to make it as close to his skin as possible without trapping any air.
“Thank you,” she said as she fitted hers.
“To use ‘ID masking mode’ you just have to open the menu and select ‘ Masquerade Party ’. After that your ID will always be secret”.
“Oh, great! Let me see …” she said as she followed Lon’s instructions. She gestured on her wrist to bring up the display, opened the main menu and pressed the “ Masquerade Party ” option.
“ Welcome to the party ,” said a single popup window, before disappearing and re-displaying the main screen.
Eve made a gesture to turn off the palm screen. “I hope it helps us”.
“It should,” said Lon, “I’ve already put my number on there, as well as Chris’. To be safe I’ve put my number under the name ‘London’, and Chris’ under the name ‘Cross’”.
Chris re-entered the room with several items of clothing, only one option for Lon, including a sleeved t-shirt, but several choices for Eve, which he handed to them respectively. “Sorry Lon, that’s all I’ve got that’ll fit you. Eve, you’re lucky, my girlfriend leaves clothes everywhere she goes. She has a similar build to you, so they should fit nicely”.
“Thank you so much,” she said in gratitude.
“Cheers Chris,” said Lon
“You’d better hurry,” said Chris, “you should leave soon. If you need a shower, one of you should get in now”.
“Okay,” responded Lon, “then Eve, you should get in first. I’ll check the news while you I wait”.
“Right. I’ll try to be quick,” she said.
“Just use anything in there that you need. Towels are in the cupboard under the sink,” advised Chris.
At this, Eve left the room.
Lon turned on the television to check the news. Unfortunately for them there was nothing new to be heard or seen.
Almost an hour had passed before the two were washed and dressed in clean clothing and ready to leave.
“Okay, we’re ready to go,” stated Lon.
“Good,” said Chris. “The first place I want you to go to is a cafe called ‘Caixa de Café’ where you’ll meet Tan,” he handed Lon a business card taken from the establishment, “then he’ll tell you what’s next”.
Lon opened his palm screen and scanned the card to load the cafe’s co-ordinates onto the device’s map.
“It’s not far away, within walking distance. I doubt surveillance cameras will be searching for you two after just fare dodging, so there shouldn’t be much to worry about. Also, it will be safer if you don’t use satellite mode on your palm screen to navigate there,” explained Chris.
“I gathered that,” said Lon.
“Okay then, you’d better go,” Chris said, “I’ll get Tan to delete your presence on the surveillance system when he comes back to work on Monday”.
“See you later then,” said Lon, and he left the room.
Eve did the same, but not before saying, “Thank you so much for all your help”.
The workshop was void of people, as was the reception area on the other side of the workshop. Lon and Eve continued to the ground floor using the lift and exited the building, the security guard not paying attention to them.
The air outside the building was cool and clear. The sun lit up as much of the main shopping plaza as it could while projecting long shadows across the ground due to the immensely tall
