I’d need a shower after this. Ten showers. And I’d pay to use a gym or pool or something, so I didn’t have to endure the craptacular shower at the loft while I scrubbed my skin raw.
Hehehe.
Ninety percent of my rationale for designing a costume that covered my entire body was for this exact reason, damn it.
That’s good thinking. Shoulda brought it with you, though!
Why hadn’t I brought my costume? Why?
To be fair, you had no expectation that you might need it. Happens to a lot of heroes from time to time – though really, you should start bringing it everywhere when you’re hanging out with the Undersiders.
I flinched at the deafening roar of a gunshot. Waited with my breath held, until I heard the murmur of conversation at the door again, Bitch’s voice. A warning shot?
Maybe Tom’s aim is as bad as his father’s, perhaps for the same reason. Not sure if that’s a good thing if it’s true.
I grabbed my cell phone from my pocket and sent a text out, selecting Brian, Lisa and Alec as the recipients:
Half a dozen skinheads here. At least one gun. Need backup.
Yes, good move. Get everyone in on this if you can.
My phone vibrated with a reply a few seconds later. Brian:
Omw. was headin home. will take minute.
I guess this implies that Brian’s home is in a similar direction as the doghouse? Since it seems like it took more than “a minute” – even in the imprecise metaphorical sense – to get here from the base. Or it could mean the exact opposite and Brian means it’ll take a minute to get back to the Undersiders’ base before he can start heading to the doghouse.
