Lilith instructed
Edward to use the oars and not the motor on the row boat. “We don’t want to attract any attention
to us,” she warned.
Edward’s arms were
aching by the time they had crossed over to the other side of the river.
“Pull the boat
over to the side and cover it with the camouflage net,” Lilith ordered. While
he did this, he noticed her speaking into a small hand held object.
“Who were you
talking to and what is that in your hand?” Edward asked Lilith when she had
finished her conversation.
When she realized why he was puzzled, she laughed. “I’m sorry. I forget that you’re
from the past. This is a cell phone and I’ve just contacted our team.”
“So, it's like
a walkie talkie?” he asked and took the phone into his hand.
“Better,” she
replied and watched as he examined the phone.
He pressed a symbol on the screen
and when mapping coordinates opened up, he asked, “Is this showing
where we are?”
“There are
satellites up there that can pinpoint our exact location. They’re here, come
on,” she said and walked towards the barbed wire fence.
Edward gave one
last glance over his shoulder to where the statue of Liberty once stood. He
couldn’t shake the feeling that his own beloved England was in the same
disintegration as the States. Holding the phone in his hand, he hurried after Lilith and
towards the two people standing in the shadows.
“Who the hell is
he?” the male warrior asked Lilith.
