outside looking in. vet’s definitely a weirdo. prior to being served dinner at MacJoy, she sent an SMS to a highschool friend. that done, she picked up the P23-peso fred saberhagen book called ‘after the fact’. continued reading the book from where she left off the other night. she immediately was INTO the book. she was even oblivious to a team philippines member calling her attention. for a second, she zoomed back to earth. with dinner served, she devoured not only the porkbelly dish but also the pages of the book. several minutes flew before she realized that the resto’s staff had reversed the door sign to "closed" and that she was the only customer left inside the establishment. decided against finishing the book right there and there, and exited the place. she left the place, conscious of the audible beating of her heart. several beats per second.
the culprit. 
she’s about to learn if abraham lincoln will be saved from the bullet that john wilkes booth will fire at him. RIGHT. vet was reading a SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY book!!! the plot was about a certain jeremiah flint going back in time [April 1865] to foil the assassination of lincoln.
Ha. vet knew that what she was reading was a piece of fiction — that as soon as she’d turn the book’s last page, she’d still find that history has remained intact. lincoln would still be D-E-A-D. 
despite her twenty-first century education, she held on to the idea that flint would successfully save the president. <never had i seen such attention given to a dead guy.> suffice it to say that the idea of lincoln finishing off his second term could actually make her forget that her april vacation plans might be jeopardized should she not find a way to control her bodily reactions to work-related stress.
oh, yah… vet did manage to remember that she contacted jen "supposedly" to discuss their plan… well, jen needs no further initiation to vet’s world.
