"Not until after we take care of Erica. So you two will have to work it." Steve explained.
Debbie felt some of the tension leave her shoulders knowing she hadn't permanently doomed her husband to the life of a Smurf or Borrower.
Beth also felt the same level of relief but was even more wary with the knowledge that she and his wife were going to have to work the prototype without him.
"We're going to have to find another car and move the device." She spoke.
"Looks like it." Steve sighed. "Unless the two of you can flip a van."
Both Debbie and Beth shook their heads. Together they could probably lift the prototype but the van itself, no chance. Together they were a nurse and lab assistant, not bodybuilders.
"What are we going to do now? Does anybody here know how to hotwire a car?" Debbie asked.
There were a few empty ones on the road, but she was fairly certain there weren't any keys in them.
"No." Beth answered.
Steve reluctantly shook his head. "I'm no mechanic."
Debbie raised an eyebrow. "Even though you build technology?"
"Have you ever seen me work on the car at home?" Steve asked his wife.
The older woman sighed. "Point taken."
"My car is still at the school. We could go back for it and load the prototype in the back." The ditzy blonde suggested.
"That's a good idea Beth." Steve praised her which earned him a small smile.
Debbie felt her heart sink.
"Someone will have to stay here with the prototype though to make sure nothing happens to it." Steve spoke up. "No offense, but I don't see either of you both lugging it very far especially after our recent car crash."
Debbie agreed. "None taken."
"Alright, who's going with Beth and who's staying behind?"
Time was of the essence, and they would have to make a decision quickly.
