"You're probably talking about a lot of money," Natalie says, "Probably will require a truck of some kind. Suffice it to say we won't be going home on the bus, but the bus is a good start. No traceable vehicle."

Nailah rolls her eyes. "Here, how about this..." she says and goes up to one of the computers and pulls up Facebook. Closing her eyes she just starts typing, not only somehow producing Sam's email-address but also her password, logging in successfully.

"Relax. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see myself type it out. I don't actually know your password. Just what buttons to push to make it happen." she says as she logs back out of Sam's account. Not that that is all that reassuring, but still.
