#FreedomFalls – August 16, 2015

Leah continues on to the spaceport as instructed. She keeps her head low and her hands in her pocket, but makes no attempt at speaking back to whoever her long-distance captor is.

Leah glances up at the doors of the spaceport, but doesn't go in quite yet. She moves off to the side and takes a position against the wall. "Well? It would be nice if I knew what the fuck I was doing here." she whispers.

Leah groans and pulls up the collar of her coat as she walks along the wall to the west. "West. Right. And then what? You can't expect me to just flip a switch and get things done right if you're not gonna give me a heads up. Where am I going?" she asks, "What am I doing here? Work with me a little bit, for fuck's sake."

Leah fishes the flash drive out of her pocket and holds it between her thumb and index finger. She raises it up in front of her as if showing it to her creepy peeping Tom. She uses her other hand to pull the top off of the rightmost crate and takes a quick look inside.

Leah leans down and sets the flash drive down in the crate before replacing the top. "Are we done here, now?" she asks impatiently. She gives a quick look around as she stands back up to make sure nobody is watching her.

Leah scoffs loudly. "Beneficial!? How the fuck is this a beneficial partnership? I just fucked over my friends and what do I have to show for it!?" she asks, turning in a small circle as she has nothing to actually focus her direction on, "Who the fuck are you!? Bozeman Cybernetics is obviously just a front. Who are you really!?"

Leah winces, slamming her eyes shut tightly as the pain courses through her. She lets out a pained growl and reaches up to hold her head. With her other hand, she presses it against the wall to keep her balance. "Yeah. Rewarded. Because you're instilling so much loyalty in me right now, you sadistic fu-..." she trails off and shakes her head, "I don't want any of your 'rewards'. I just

Leah want you to leave me alone. Take the spine back. Just let me go. How long do I need to keep this up for?" she asks, almost sounding as if she's pleading.

Leah begins following the wall back around towards the front of the spaceport. "Earned? How do I know you'll ever even let me go? Give me something to go on here. Why should I trust you'll keep your word?"

Leah blinks a few times as she attempts to adjust to what she's seeing. She reaches up and rubs at her eyes. "What-... what is this...?"

Leah 's expression grows dark and tears begin to well up in her eyes. "Don't you fucking touch him!" she shouts loudly, "Don't you dare touch him! Stay away from him!" she demands. She falls back against the side of the building and brings her hands up to her forehead as she slowly slides down and slumps to the ground, "I swear if you-..." she chokes up a bit, "...if you hurt him..."

Leah leans her head back against the wall and slowly nods. "Whatever you want." she says, all the fight drained from her, "Just don't hurt him... Please..."

Leah remains near the spaceport for a while, just letting it all out before she goes home to her father.
