The middle aged woman paws through the finished work again. Written on
a highly expensive material (paper), the antique, Olivetti typewriter
gives her words a tactile quality.
Pr. A. Walker's words look funny on paper. She puts down the one and
only manuscript that could never be published. Too much at stake, including
her own life. Plus the fact Ball would definitely find her. It's a pity
he was lost in a horrific crash on Mars, 4281. The supposed dead man should
be contacting her today. For matters in searching for his old colleagues.
Dexter looks at herself in the mirror. Her figure is fantastic, the thirty-five
bracket was ideal to be stopped at. She can transform herself into any
disguise she wants of course, but the original Dexter is fun to be in
sometimes. She eyes herself more closely, the Univarians have done her
proud, plus the advanced knowledge comes in handy.
Her intercom goes, "a call for you, long distance Ms. Hayworth,
a Mr. Reinheart."
Quickly she changes back into the tall blonde that people on the island
have grown to know over the years: a twenty-something blonde whom has
endless fun and a successful publishing company.
"Very well, put him through."
Dexter doesn't know why or how she has developed the ability to see into
the future or why her (and the late Seera) can change their appearances,
another Univarian mystery. A face appears on the vid-screen. He has grown
himself a moustache that Dexter thinks looks ridiculous. His face betrays
that he is disappointed.
"Sorry.." he begins.
"What is it Mr. Reinheart? How may I help you?"
"Sorry..I expected someone else," the vid-screen goes blank.
Dexter smiles to herself.
