I said I'd kill him for her.
|
||||
|
||||
I was stuck with her then. My cruise ship had already left for its
|
||||
next stop, and the next one wouldn't be around for months. Even
|
||||
if I had any second thoughts, there wasn't anywhere for me to run.
|
||||
Outer space is just a series of relay points. Once you're at one,
|
||||
you're trapped there. It's like being on a train. She said that to
|
||||
me once. She said we were in this together now. There was no
|
||||
getting off. Straight down the line. To infinity and beyond.
|
||||
|
||||
After we finished fleshing out our plan, she cut off our meetings.
|
||||
She said it wasn't smart for us to be seen together. She told me it
|
||||
was only temporary. It still hurt like hell.
|
||||
|
||||
All that was left for me was to roam Europa's resort alone, sipping
|
||||
rye and striking up the odd conversation with the locals.
|
||||
|
||||
I kept replaying the plan over and over in my head. It seemed
|
||||
flawless. Sometimes that's how things seem right before disaster.
|
||||
|
||||
I would board the ship they were taking to IO as a passenger. Only
|
||||
in the lower decks, of course. I couldn't afford anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
On the second night of the return journey, right before his
|
||||
spacewalk scheduled for the time the sun would be inching its way
|
||||
around the colossal mass of Jupiter, she would secretly let me into
|
||||
the upper decks. She said she was able to take care of the usual
|
||||
security protocols. I trusted her on that front. That was
|
||||
computer-stuff, she was a computer.
|
||||
|
||||
I would then sneak into his room and kill him while he slept.
|
||||
|
||||
We never really got into the details of how I'd kill him. I went
|
||||
through a million different ways in my own head. I never wanted to
|
||||
say them out loud and she didn't ask. Maybe she thought I'd done
|
||||
this before. I might have let on a few times that I was a tough guy
|
||||
with a shady past.
|
||||
|
||||
Truth was, I'd never done anything like that. I'd lived a boring
|
||||
life. Judy was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, after I'd, you know, killed him, we would stuff his body
|
||||
into his space suit and throw him out an airlock at his usual time.
|
||||
She said she could hack his suit to show an oxygen depletion error
|
||||
5 minutes after that, as well as simulate some vital signs until
|
||||
then.
|
||||
|
||||
It was the clones job to maintain and prepare the suit for him.
|
||||
That's where he came into it. She couldn't get him to kill for her,
|
||||
but she could get him to lie for her.
|
||||
|
||||
He would take the fall and say he messed up the settings. She would
|
||||
get the massive payout and she'd take me somewhere pretty with it.
|
||||
She promised me it would all work out just like she said. All we
|
||||
had to do was stick together.
