Returning to Jasper City as I promised, but this time I’m focusing on a different character. This is Dexter, who also plays an important role in the story as Edward’s greatest threat. In this passage, Dexter has a conversation with Mayor Calvin, as the latter decides whether he’s ready to take on such a great promotion.
“”I saw you work in the alley,” The Mayor said, interrupting the thoughts and wandering mind of Citizen C-121. “That was very impressive of you.”
“I was just doing my job, Mr. Mayor,” C-121 said simply.
“You spoke so strongly, as if you believe in all of the ideals as you spoke.”
“But I do!” Was the Mayor questioning his loyalty?”
Is Dexter in trouble now?
More from Jasper City next week! I’ll focus on a different major character then.
I hope not, he sounds like an honest man! Enjoyed your snippet.
Sounds like he may need to do some fast talking.
We'll see whether he can talk his way out of this one!
I'm sorry. I'm giggling at Gemma's avatar, lol. That caught me off guard for a moment. Ok, where was I? Ah yes, Jasper City. I guess Dexter's in a bit of trouble here. Or perhaps the Mayor is a little green. Interesting. Hey, can I say, this reminds me of Asimov. 😀
Thanks! And don't worry, he's safe for the moment.
More like smooth talking. Panic is his enemy here.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, this is far from the most dangerous situation he'll be in. 🙂
Thanks for commenting!
No worries, I had a similar reaction to it. =)
That so? I'm going to take it as a HUGE compliment. Thanks!
