PRESENT DAY
Kila: Well, that’s taken care of. In a day or so there will be no mark.
RK-12: So she’ll be okay?
Kila: Yes. The wound was only slight, I think she has only fainted from stress. Now I need to get out of here, because I am the last thing she would like to see when she wakes up.
RK-12: Gosh, thank you for doing this…
Kila: Mmhm. I really must go now.
RK-12: Wait, hold on- can I… can I go with you? I mean- just for a little while? Do you- do you mind telling Ms. Jesmaine that you, um, dropped me off back at home?
Rio: Not at all, sug?
RK-12: Thank- thank you for everything, Rio!
Rio: Anytime, hon. And you an’ me should get together sometime, Terry! Catch up!
Kila: Yes. Of course.
