Friday, February 12, 2010 - One by one, they walked
into the room and stood... |
| One by one, they walked
into the room and stood beside me?And this is Kyle and? uh, Sunny
Doc's eyes bugged wide as Kyle, Sunny attached to his side, entered the room
?Are there any more?? the woman whispered
Doc cleared his throat, trying to compose himselfThere are a lot of people who live
hereAll? well, mostly humans,? he added, staring at Sunny
?Trudy is on her way,? I told Doc?Maybe Trudy could?? I glanced at Sunny and Kyle
find a room for? her to rest in??
Doc nodded, still wide-eyed?That might be a good idea
?Who's Trudy?? the woman whisperedShe'll take care gold chanel jewelry of you
?Is she human, or is she like that one?? She nodded toward me
This seemed to ease the woman's mind
?Oh,? Sunny gasped behind me
I turned to see her staring at the cryotanks that held the HealersThey were standing in the
middle of Doc's desk, the lights on top glowing muted redOn the floor in front of the desk, the
seven remaining empty tanks were piled in an untidy heap
Tears sprang to Sunny's eyes again, and she buried her face against Kyle's chest
?I don't want to go! I want to stay with you,? she moaned to the big man she seemed to trust chanel inspired handbags so
completely
Sunny broke down into sobs
I blinked fast, trying to keep the tears from my own eyesI crossed the small space to where
Sunny stood, and stroked her springy black hair
?I need to talk to her for a minute, Kyle,? I murmured
He nodded, his face troubled, and pulled the clinging girl from his side
?No, no,? she begged
?It's okay,? I promised?He's not going anywhereI just want to ask you a few questions
Kyle turned her to face me, and her arms locked around meI pulled her to the far corner of the
room, as far from the nameless woman as I could getI didn't want our conversation hermes birkin bag replica to confuse
or frighten the Healer's host any more than she already wasKyle followed, never more than a
few inches awayWe sat on the floor, facing the wall
?Jeez,? Kyle murmured?I didn't think it would be like this
?How did you find her? And catch her?? I askedThe sobbing girl didn't react as I questioned
him; she just kept crying on my shoulder?What happened? Why is she like this??
?Well, I thought she might be in Las VegasI went there first, before I went on to Portland
See, Jodi was really close to her mother, and that's where Doris livedI thought, seeing how fake gucci bags you
were about Jared and the kid, that maybe she would go there, even when she wasn't JodiThey were all there at the same old house, Doris's house: Doris, and her husband,
Warren?they had other names, but I didn't hear them clearly?and SunnyI watched them all day,
until it was nighttimeSunny was in Jodi's old room, aloneI snuck in after they'd all been asleep
for hoursI yanked Sunny up, threw her over my shoulder, and jumped out the windowI
thought she was going to start screaming, so I was really booking it back to the jeepThen I was
afraid because shedidn't start gucci shoulder bags screa |
