Wade looked off to the left. "Are you sure we took the right Professor with us, Quinn?"

"I think so. I'm not sure. Why?" Quinn asked.

"He's acting a bit strangely," Wade replied. "Look over there and tell me if that's really our Arturo."

"That's his double, Wade," Quinn said patiently.

"No it isn't," Wade responded. "I just left him. That's the one we slid with."
