[b][color=92278f]“Uh, huh.”[/color][/b] She thought for a sec, that was more Rick’s area of expertise, but curiosity still nibbled at her, causing her to ask, [b][color=92278f]“Can I see?”[/color][/b] Although she ended up being rather rude, shuffling behind him to peek at the screen. The green writing caught her attention, making both sense while meaning nothing. Reading it a second time she finally took in the words on his screen;

She didn’t even notice as one of the leftover tools in her hands slipped, but the clatter as it hit the concrete ground dragged her wandering mind back to reality with a jerk.

Realty seemed to disagree with the dream theory however, as her username had appeared on a strangers phone. Yeah, reality was messing with her, [i]a lot.[/i] 

[b][color=92278f]"So, …uh ……what do you know about that ………uh …… the …… uh ………… The Hack?"[/color][/b] she muttered saying the last two words in a bit of a rush.
