Oracle Files: Billie Lee

Characters[]

Tierza Calvin: You two look lost.
Jenny Lee: Why do you say that?
Tierza Calvin: Because you're not from around here.
Billie Lee: That doesn't mean we're lost.
Tierza Calvin: [scoff] You're sure as hell not visiting relatives.
Billie Lee: What makes you say that?
Tierza Calvin: Just a hunch, really...
Jenny Lee: Liar... Just a hunch- my ass. Just a bit ago, the way you looked at us. You could tell. How did you do that?
Billie Lee: Look at her eyes, sis...
Jenny Lee: Yeah, I see it, Billie... Okay, I'll bite. How did you do that?
Tierza Calvin: I think it's time you two leave...
Jenny Lee: We will. We will... In due time, but now we're interested.
Tierza Calvin: Now I wouldn't go advertising that. The locals get skittish when they see strangers taking an interest in here.
Jenny Lee: Yeah, looking at your newspaper archives here, we see there's been quite a lot of... strangeness in these parts.
Billie Lee: Ever since the late seventies... after that meteor shower.
Tierza Calvin: I think it's time you left. Library is closing...
Billie Lee: [spurred footsteps] I think it's time you had a seat. [knuckles crackling] And listen to our offer...
Tierza Calvin: I'll hear you out, but if you touch me... you'll regret. That's not a threat. That's a promise... Understood?
