Willow

Present

River

Hey, where are you?

Heard you got arrested.

Willow

I can’t say, but I’m fine.

What do you mean you can’t say?

Are you in trouble?

No, not in trouble.

Just… complicated.

Well, I’ve got big plans against the pipeline when they start construction.

What kind of plans?

We’re going to rig all the equipment to explode.

Make it impossible for them to start.

River, people could get hurt!

I’m okay with that.

No, we can’t go that far.

We need to talk about this more.

We better talk soon.

I’m moving forward with the plan.

I promise we’ll talk soon.

Just hold off for now.

Fine, but don’t take too long.

I won’t. We’ll figure this out.

Are you safe though?

Yes, just trust me.

I’m doing what I need to for our cause.

Your silence is worrying me.

You’re not in over your head, right?

I’m handling it.

We’ll discuss everything when we meet.

When can we meet?

Soon. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.

This better not be some kind of trap, Willow.

It’s not. I need you to trust me on this.

Trust is running thin.

You disappearing like this isn’t like you.

I know.

Just hang in there a bit longer.

The team is getting restless.

They want action.

I understand.

We’ll find a way that doesn’t endanger lives.

Lives? What about the land, Willow?

Both are important.

We can’t sacrifice one for the other.

Alright. I’ll hold off for now.

But this can’t wait forever.

I know. We’ll talk soon, I promise.

You better.

Clock’s ticking.

I will.

Stay safe, River.

You too.
