"Now, come on," Kara said, walking away.
"Where are we going?" I asked, as I followed her.
"I've got a hideout nearby. The spheres can't touch us there."
"Wait a minute. Are you saying there's more than one of those things?"
She stopped and turned towards me. "You mean you thought there was only one? The planet is too big for just one sphere."
I stared at her. "You mean those things are everywhere?"
"There are hundreds of them, maybe more. But you don't have to worry. Where we're going they won't follow."
She continued on her way and I followed.
