Did Ajani draw blood?

Bradley claimed the prescription bottle, and when Ren returned, he handled it over. “That needs to go back to the doctor tonight. She decided to experiment with her own blood, and she changed colors around the same time she realized it has a similar feel to what she found in the blood sample.”

“Changed colors?” Ren took the bottle and put it into his jacket. “If you’re discussing her somewhat pale complexion, you haven’t fed her breakfast yet and she’s likely in a great deal of pain. One is easier to resolve than the other.”

I checked the time, which informed me it was after noon. “Don’t you mean lunch?”

“Technically, yes. While I was on my other errand, I asked the manufacturer to come here with the firearm, and I bribed a registrar to also come so you can file for your conceal carry. I informed them you have an injury that bars you from going to the range until later today. I also requested a stool or something you can use for this evening. Arrangements are being made.”

“You’re more his secretary than his bodyguard, aren’t you?”

I’d been expected to handle some matters, but Bradley had several secretaries who handled most of the work.

Ren grinned. “You’re catching on. While I do serve as a driver and protection, I am more focused on handling his other affairs. I’m trained, but I have nowhere near the training you do. And once you’re back in your prime, you’ll outshine me for just about everything else. That said, I am a god at scheduling, so you have no hope of defeating me there. He wanted to see if your temperament had changed, so he asked me to focus more on being security than anything else.”

“You’re an asshole, Bradley Hampton.” I scowled at my foot, which kept me trapped on my damned couch. “Thank you for feeding my cat this morning.”

“The medications had you out cold, and she ran to the door when we came in and kept leading us to you. It seems your cat has been training to be your bodyguard. You weren’t joking about the two pets only unless you brushed her. I got a light nip to educate me on the error of my ways.”

Damned cat. “Did Ajani draw blood?”

“No, she just gave me a warning that I crossed her lines. I gave her space, and she went back to breakfast. After she had her breakfast, she was brushed, although she insisted on checking on you every few minutes. Once you started to come around, she decided to go hide behind the couch. I did ask the doc, and he said not to worry. You likely needed the sleep, and the lack of pain meant you were sleeping better and deeper than usual.”

Understatement. I wanted to go back to bed, too. Since I couldn’t, I decided to worry more about my fluffy goddess. I checked over the arm for a look at the back of my couch, and sure enough, I spotted the tip of my cat’s tail.
