Prepping

[I...I think that's the first time you've ever said anything nice to me like that!] Leo says with happiness. My smile grows as I keep my eyes close. [I'm sorry... how are you feeling?] I ask as Chip watches me with a tilted head.

[I'm at 100%! The nap was all I really needed. How did everything end?] Leo asks with concern. [Well... we all survived but I think Remi did too and now I'm a sitting duck with this damn collar on.] I say with a sigh. I reach over to the computer and start shutting down all the cameras in and around the private areas. Remi has a habit of sneaking in and watching...

"Are you okay?" Chip asks with a look of concern. I reach out and pet him again while saying "I'm trying to think of a plan." Chip nods his head and starts thinking as well. [I can remove the collar.] Leo suddenly says. My hand petting Chip freezes.
