Chapter 167: Tuesday?"What happened?" Wednesday asked, noticing Luke's odd expression. "Natasha told me to go to her room..." Luke replied, not being very specific.
"Oh... The reason?" Wednesday asked, unable to suppress a slight smile.
There could only be one reason. It was only a few days before they were set to head to Ohio, and the housekeeper still hadn't shown them the gender-switching potions.
"The gender-switching potion..." Luke muttered, his expression anything but happy.
'It's time,' Wednesday thought, getting up from Luke and heading toward the door. "And where are you going?" Luke asked, also walking toward the exit.
"To witness your gender change. What else?" Wednesday said with a slight mocking smile, which annoyed Luke.
Luke tried to think of solutions to stay in Sunnyvale and Shadyside without involving the gender-switching potion, but he couldn't come up with anything. They needed to
Natasha then took a few photos of Wednesday for her fake ID. "And you? What name do you
want?" she asked.
"Jenna," Luke answered in her place.
"Why Jenna?" Wednesday asked, looking at him.
"I don't know. It was the first thing that came to mind," Luke replied, shrugging.
"Fine, I'll use that name," Wednesday said. She didn't care much about her fake identity.
"Alright. I'll be your mother, Lucy Foster. Widow. Your father died in a recent car accident, which prompted us to move to escape our tragic past," Natasha explained.
"You'll attend Shadyside High School as twin sisters. We need to investigate the historical sites of the two towns-perhaps in old archives, a local library, city records, or even the school itself. Evidence might even be hidden in the woods between the towns; we just don't
know," she added.
"Great, a scavenger hunt in a normie school with this flashy skin," Luke said, rolling his eyes. "You never like being the center of attention, and now you will be-thanks to your perfection," Wednesday said with a faintly mocking smile.
Luke spoke with Natasha about Ajax's birthday, and she allowed him to attend. In fact, it was
a good idea to go there before heading to Ohio.
In Natasha's view, the plan offered a strategic advantage. They were currently in New York, about 900 kilometers from Ohio, and if they departed directly from there, their pursuers would likely find them quickly due to the proximity.
However, by going first to Ajax's house in Nevada, about 3,500 kilometers from New York, their pursuers would lose time and have to cover a much greater distance. Their trackers wouldn't be searching within the immediate radius of New York and Ohio.
Instead, they would start their search from Nevada and have to traverse a significantly larger
area.
Luke left Natasha's room and noticed he still had over thirty minutes to spare. He didn't like being in this form, no matter how perfect it was. He preferred being a man. Wednesday returned to her room-it seemed she didn't enjoy being around a princess straight out of a fairy tale either.
'Damn it. I'm going to train,' Luke thought, starting to walk through the dark, narrow
hallways of the mansion.
