Outrage (2015)
“Odin also worried about voice recognition and suggested that only Cruz and Cade make the calls because he didn’t believe Singular would have identified either of them.
“Gonna be a long haul, man,” said Cade, who was sitting up front with Twist driving. “Fourteen hours, if we don’t stop.”
“My leg won’t last that long,” Twist replied. “I’ll need to get out and walk a couple times.”
From the back, Odin asked, “What happened to your leg?” as he unfolded a road map they were using instead of the pho...ne GPS.
“Broke it,” Twist said in a tone that suggested end of story. At least it did to Cade, who looked over his shoulder at Odin and gave him a quick headshake, but Odin was lousy at subtext. He instead persisted: “An accident, one presumes? Car? Ski jump? Banana peel? The limp appears to me to be a minor hitch in the ball and socket….You really need the cane?”
Twist checked Odin’s reflection in the rearview mirror, and Odin sort of smiled at him. That got him: a bruised and sincere kid.MoreLess
