The morning after the concert and double homicide I woke up
to someone trying to toss me on the floor. I’d fallen asleep in a rather large
beanbag chair that felt more like a cushion than anything. After the other gals
had drunk their fill of rum (Lizzy prevented me from getting any, at least
remembering through her alcohol-induced haze that I didn’t drink), I had
crashed from mental exhaustion. The bean bag was perfect – I melted into it and
bundled down.
“Where’s Ann?”
I’d covered my face with another blanket, not wanting to
deal with people in general. The choice to hide was gone the moment I was
lifted into the air.
“Don’t toss me!”
The bean bag came down and I was left facing a bewildered
Erik and Inspector.
“What were you doing there?”
I was half way awake, a bit wider now that I’d almost been
launched into a couch and in no mood for stupid.
“I was sleeping.
In case you hadn’t noticed.”
“Wait…are those your pajamas?”
I paused, glancing briefly down at my long pajama pants and
baggy tee shirt. Looking back up I raised half an eye brow, “Yeah. You got a
problem with my comfort?”
“No! No, no, it’s just…”
“Ann we need you to come with us to the Basement. It’s not
safe for you.”
I stared down again…. “Yeah. You do realize you just barged
into a room full of women who were having a slumber party (sleep over?)?”
They had the decency to blush.
I ushered them out.
“Right, well I’ll be out when all of us are decent and
dressed. Bye!”
Shutting the door in their face I glanced around the previously
full room.
“Traitors,” I murmured. Scrounging my clothes from the piles
on the floor I slipped into the bathroom and got ready.
What are you working on this week? Need any help - I'd be glad to!
