Sprawled out on the table of their apartment is a map of the world. It shows the coffee producing regions in a soft brown, and all the rest of the land in gray. "We carefully select our beans from responsible, FairTrade growers in all over the world." Amanita is searching in for South Korea.
"Sorry the countries aren't labeled, babe. I forgot I even had this map."
Nomi peeked over her shoulder, "Is that from Whole Foods?"
"Yeah, remember that year I needed some extra money for my mom's birthday present?"
"And you brought home tubs and tubs of organic chocolate ice cream?" Nomi smiled. "I remember. We couldn't put anything else in the freezer for weeks."
"Hey, you appreciated that ice cream as much as I did!" Amanita insists.
Nomi fishes a pen out of the coffee mug. "Cop guy is in Chicago," she marks a dot near one of the Great Lakes. They both frown for a moment.
"Is that Chicago?"
"I don't know babe, it's in the middle of the country somewhere. Normally, I'd just google it."
"Okay, and you said Mexico, right? Where in Mexico?" Amanita asks, looking up at her.
"Um, Mexico City," Nomi adds Lito's name somewhere in Southern Mexico. "And Riley in Iceland. Sun in South Korea, is that this little one?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
"Germany..." Nomi murmurs out loud while she reflects on Europe. "India. Oh, um, Nairobi..."
Amanita eyes widen. "I feel like public education is failing us. How can we be a badass crime-fighting duo if we can't even find your soul-siblings on a map?"
"I don't know. It helps though, to see at least some of them marked out here. You and I have passports, but we can't use them without Matheson finding us. Do you think we could make fake ones?"
Amanita smiles, "I think you can do anything," and she leans in for a kiss.
Neets and Nomi are super adorable, I don't think I captured their dynamic very well. I feel like they'd want to try and keep track of all the people in Nomi's head some way though. And you guys can totally picture Amanita working part-time at a Whole Foods, using the employee discount to hoard snacks, right?
That seems like something she would do.
