Alice stalked into New Atlantis at noon that day. Few people paid her much attention, which she took to mean that John hadn't told anybody save that McKay. Good. That reduced the number of unfriendly stares. On Alice's part, anyway.
McKay was nowhere to be seen, so she walked right up to John's hut and knocked on the door as if she had a right to be there. Well, she did, didn't she? It was possible she was only here for a chat with her superior.
Ha. Superior. It was a pretty fucking misleading word, she thought. She was pretty sure she could kick John's ass even though she had never actually managed to do so sober.
Speaking of sober, for some reason she really felt like a cigarette and a drink right then. Maybe she'd swing by Eden's afterwards and bum a pack, see if she had any moonshine. Of course, then she'd have to deal with the question why, and she didn't really want to at the moment.
Alice didn't do nervous very well, and it took a good minute of her standing there waiting to realize that she was.
