@@@@@I only had to be myselfI wouldn't have to act that part I let my eyelids droop, let my body sag against the seat My mouth turned down into a sheepish grimace The Seekers' car did not park behind us, the way I could feel Mel expectedIt stopped across the road, on the shoulder, facing the wrong way for that lane's traffic flowA dazzling light exploded through the window of the other carI blinked into it, raising my hand to shade my face with deliberate slownessFaintly, past the glare of the spotlight, I saw the gleam of my eyes bounce against the road as I looked downOne set of footsteps made a pattern of low thuds as someone crossed the pavementThere was no sound of dirt or rocks, so the Seeker had emerged from the passenger sideTwo of them, at least, but only one coming to interrogate meThis was a good sign, a sign of comfort and confidence My glowing eyes were a talismanA compass that could not fail?like the North Star, undoubtable Lying with my body wasnot the keyTelling the truth with it was enoughI had something in common with the human baby in the park: nothing like me had ever existed before The Seeker's body blocked the light, and I could see againrobably middle-aged?his features conflicted with one another, making it hard to tell; his hair was all white, but his face was smooth and unwrinkledHe wore a T-shirt and shorts, a blocky gun clearly visible on his hipOne hand rested on the butt of the weaponIn his other hand was a dark flashlightHe didn't turn it on ?Having a problem, miss?? he said when he was a few feet
