Chapter 16
Sue's stomach was tied in knots, and she felt sick. She wasn't sure if it was the fact that she had that moment been told of Jack's suicide, or the 'Doomsday Project,' or the fact of Jack's dad's involvement in the project, or she could be feeling bad because Reed had known for a long time, and hadn't told her.
She could only imagine how Maria was feeling at that moment, she was in her room with Ben, he said it would be better if the news of Jacks death came from him, and not the others. The same way it was best for Reed and Johnny to break the news about the occurrences to her.
The three of them had knocked on the door to Sue's room and entered. What struck her as odd was that they didn't break into laughter like she'd thought they would, after all they both had their hair up, and mud masks on their faces. Sue had explained to them they'd just done make up, and had to cleanse after washing it out. The three hadn't said anything, or laughed when the girls showed off their colourful nails. That was when the girls stopped laughing, and had asked what was wrong, which was when the two were split up. Ben leading his somewhat confused daughter to her room, and Sue following the other two to the kitchen.
"I need a drink," she confessed, and Johnny rose from the table, poured her a coffee, and passed it to her. "No, I want a something stronger," she said, getting up and pouring herself a glass of orange juice, then pouring gin into the glass. She proceeded in downing it in one. "Ok, I'm fine now," she said, secretly cursing the gin bottle for being empty. "So…what?" she asked, "We just sit and wait?"
Reed and Johnny just looked at each other, and nodded slowly.
"I don't believe it, we're like sitting ducks!" she exclaimed, and sank into the chair by Reed, who took her hand. She smiled at him, feeling utterly useless and defeated. The three sat in silence, each wandering how Maria was taking the news.
