She's quiet, silent while she considers. What about Johnny? There's enough money even if she gets arrested but she's his only family. On the other hand, an entire shuttle disappeared and who knows what it could be. She knows the ramifications either way.
"No, all right, I'll go." She nods slowly even though he can't see her. "I'll be ready."
Reed smiles in relief. "Thanks Susan. It means a lot. How's Johnny?"
She can hear his smile, she knows what Reed is like when he smiles and she smiles in turn, letting go of her secretive gestures, but turning her back towards the kitchen to keep her privacy.
"You know how he is. He wants to come too. I'm getting him a babysitter."
"Hmm, a fourth crew member would come in handy..." Reed imagines what bringing Johnny into space might be like, but quickly shakes the thought from his mind.
"No, I don't think I'm that desperate."
"No we're not." Desperate, that is.
"It would be dangerous and he's just a kid. I'm leaving him here with the babysitter."
"I'd hate for him to get into such a big fiasco at such a young age. Try not to let him know that we're launching without authorization. I believe it will only encourage him."
"You're right. I won't mention it. I'm just... worried." She pauses. "He's stubborn. I'll make sure he's sleeping while I leave. Don't worry about Johnny."
She says it softly, secretively, to make sure Johnny can't hear her.
But she's worried. There won't be anyone to take care of him if the government decides their crimes are worthy of jail time. It's evident in her voice.
From the his room Johnny frowns at the phone he picked up. He shouldn't. He knows, but - dude, it's space and his sister and the old guy. He already knows Sue's worked her ass off for him and she likely has a plan for if something happened to her like what happened to Dad.
But like hell you are going without me now!
Before all this it was wanting to go into space. Now it's about not wanting to be left behind again.
"Alright then. I'll tell Ben and soon we can get this underway. Remember, we're launching at 5 a.m., so be sure to leave early. I'll see you there Susan."
