"It's time" was what Jeff said when he woke me up. I looked around me, the lights in the room were on and everyone was getting ready and grabbing their belongings. I noticed Vanessa writing with a pencil on a piece of paper on the floor. I walked over to read what she was writing. “Dear Mr. Cranston, We are sorry to leave like this, but we really need to get home. Anyway, thank you very much for your hospitality and that of all your people. We wish you all the best, especially in these dark and uncertain times. Sincerely, your guests.” The girl looked at me. "It's not much, but... at least he won't feel abandoned and start bringing out paranoid speculations about our departure, speculations that if well, might end up being true and not so paranoid" she explained. I laughed.
