There was a knock at my door. I hid Bermy's computer in my closet and grabbed a peeb. I took a huge swig and answered. It was Blue Jay.
"Hi."
"Hey, you snuck away last night," she said as I ushered her in and locked the door.
"I'm sorry --had to work early."
She took off her back pack and tossed it on the floor and the walked over to the bed and plopped down. This was here first time in my place. I wasn't opposed I was just a little confused. Yes, the night previous with her had been fun, with all the obligatory getting to know you conversation. We found we had a good amount in common but there was no inexplicable connection of souls. I had just figured she wanted to get laid.
"Milo, did I mention to you last night that I work with the Raven?"
"I don't think so...are you a narc?"
"Busted."
She smiled and put her hands behind her head.
"Can I have a beer?" She asked.
"Uh, what?"
"One of those?"
"What's going on?"
"Well in about thirty seconds you'll be unconscious and in the back of van."
