Chapter Eleven

Packing Hot

Talaric stood in wide-eyed shock across from me shaking his head over and over, as he continued to look up and down me. I thought I cut a pretty cool picture myself.

My feet were encased in black leather military fatigue boots that my tan camo pants were tucked into. The handle of a long boot knife stuck prominently out of the top of my right boot. One of the machine pistols was strapped to my left hip, even as the right side of the belt was packed with extra clips of ammo.

My camo over shirt hung open revealing the heavy leather cartridge belt that was slung from my right shoulder across the front of my black T-shirt to where it rested against my left side. The belt was studded full of three and a half inch magnum shotgun shells for the pump shotgun that I held in my left hand with the barrel of the shotgun resting back against my shoulder.

My right hand rested on top of the other machine pistol that was held level to my right side by a sling overtop my shoulder. A purple and orange silk scarf was around my neck giving a hint of femininity to the outfit.

My long hair was swept back in a ponytail that was fed through the back of a camo baseball cap that Katie had given me. On both cheeks under my eyes was a black streak of paint to help deflect the brightness of the sun from my eyes.

I was packing heavy and I felt pretty good about it myself, but Talaric was trying to be a spoilsport and not let me go along with him and the others. I was giving him my most bewitching smile, even as the others campaigned on my behalf in order for me to accompany them on the mission.

“You did say that I was one of your crew now didn’t you Talaric?” I said soothingly.

Talaric swallowed and I knew I had won.

Katie, who was fairly encased in weapons herself, had a huge grin on her face as she elbowed Talaric in the stomach, “Come on big boy admit it, your babe’s hot, packing all that heat ain’t she!”

Talaric raised his arm, as if to cuff Katie for her impudence, but she had danced back out of the way giggling.

Talaric shook his head again and turned towards the door and said disgustedly, “Let’s get on with it, but so help me I’m holding you all responsible if anything happens to her!”

I turned to follow and saw Rafael give me a big thumbs up. I pulled him to me and squeezed him hard for a long moment.

I knelt down before him and gave him a serious mom look, “Promise me you’ll do everything that Eleanor says!” “Promise!”

I looked at him a little longer, suddenly unsure if I should go on the mission after all.

“Oh he’ll be fine! You go ahead and go have some fun, while me and Raffi man the fort.” Eleanor said.
