"Thank you, sir!" he said again, an even more earnest expression on his face now. It looked like all those 5 AM vocal training sessions had paid off! Which meant he couldn't afford to slack off on that now that he was being held captive in a crazy mental institute. Maybe he ought to get started on his training again once he finished with his research. He'd need to sound good when he finally got a chance to give Martin Landel a piece of his mind, right?
"That's right," he replied. "A defense attorney, to be more precise. I have to stay in shape so I can deliver the perfect objection for my clients." If evidence was a lawyer's ammo, then their voice was definitely a lawyer's gun. And who ever heard of a solider who didn't take good care of their gun? It was their life line!
...Wow, maybe he ought to come up with a less violent metaphor for all that. By now he was half wishing the guy had confused him with an overzealous football coach or something.
Apollo kind of hoped the moon wouldn't fall and kill everyone if someone actually managed to escape. He liked the moon where it was, thanks, and he liked the idea of getting out of here alive even more. Of course no one was going to find a way to escape with that kind of attitude!
"What other options are there besides escaping?" Apollo asked. "Don't you want to go back home?" Wouldn't something like that be worth all the effort, even if it wasn't necessarily the easier way?
