Oh. The new best friend is clinically insane. That's good to know.
Rita doesn't follow for a few moments. Instead, she considers whether the odds of finding Greta alive would be any higher if she was or wasn't imaginary. If Asadi's actually telling the truth about where (or when) Greta comes from, Rita can't imagine she would have lasted that long. Even in the park, where there's less good cover to counterbalance the smaller population density.
Then again, if Greta's origins were a bit more believable, would that really make this less of a wild goose chase?
Probably not.
She shifts to look back over her shoulder. The Queensboro Bridge is close.
The park isn't that much farther.
God. Fine. She'll get Asadi to the park; she owes her more than a sidearm for the battery.
There's a quiet sigh, and then rhythmic whirring as she sets off after Asadi. "So," she says once she's caught up, "what makes you so certain she's still alive?" It's not a nice question, but this isn't a nice situation. One of them has to be practical.
