The Body Electric - Special Edition - Plot & Excerpts
But then I shake my head, clearing the confusing thoughts. “I just talked to her, less than an hour ago,” I say. “You really didn’t,” Jack says in a terrible low monotone. I scrutinize his face, but even though he’s wearing an emotionless mask now, there is truth in his eyes, grief. His shoulders are slouched in defeat. He’s got the build of a soldier boy—athletically large, quick reflexes, a certain set of his jaw that indicates he’s seen more than he should. But no matter how much he appears to believe what he’s saying, he’s obviously lying. Or crazy. Or both. I glance down at his arm, and notice the way he tugs the sleeve of his jacket over his wrist. I remember that he’s missing his cuff. “You’re off the grid,” I say. “You’re on the run. You… you deserted the military didn’t you?” This fully supports my theory that he’s tied in with the terrorist rebels Representative Belles is getting mixed up with, and I grope behind me for the doorknob, feeling the cool metal solid beneath my fingers, ready to run if I need to.
