A Geek Reunion

Kevin knelt in the snow and looked up at the woman. Her close-cropped coif did nothing to lessen her beauty. The glints of silver sparkled like tiny filaments of precious metal against the fine black hairs. Her eyes were a dark brown, so dark they almost appeared black. Right now, those eyes were staring down at him with a curious mix of contempt and curiosity.

“All the stories…and this is the infamous Kevin Dreon?” she mumbled. “I half-expected Arnold, Bruce, or Sly to appear…and instead, I get a reject from Revenge of the Nerds.”

“And you must be the infamous Major Wanda Beers.” Kevin saw a flash of surprise in her eyes. “Oh yes…I know all about you. How you have gone against your sworn oath to protect and defend. How you are now nothing more than an armed mob, looting and enslaving. I also—”

The boot to the gut caused Kevin to exhale in a great ‘woof’ of air. He doubled over, his face resting on the cold, hard snow.

“Kevin!” a familiar voice cried.

He turned his head to the right to see Shari looking at him with tears in her eyes. A trickle of blood was a bright red and smeared across her chin.

“Hey there,” Kevin managed. “Sorry I took so long.”

“We can save all these happy reunion moments for another time,” Wanda barked. “Get this one to my tent, and as for the girl, I’ve had about enough of her and the retard. If she wants to care for that useless burden, cuff ‘em together. We roll out of here in two days. We’ll see how much she sticks to her guns when we get out on the road.”

Hands grabbed him under the arms and yanked Kevin to his feet. The first shove in the middle of his back sent him face down into the snow once again. He was escorted across the camp to the largest tent and shoved inside.

“Leave us,” the major said with a wave. “Spread the word to the camp that we will be rolling out at sunrise the day after tomorrow.”

The two escorts nodded and ducked out of the tent, leaving him standing just inside the entrance. Kevin looked around and noticed, to his surprise, that there was little in the way of luxury here. He half expected to find a collection of trinkets and such. At the least, he figured that the major would have more than a government-issue cot to sleep on.

“So, you have heard about me.” The major leaned back in her chair and swung her feet up onto the desk. “That is interesting. That must mean Willa is still out there.”

“I don’t—” Kevin started, but the major was out of her chair like a cat and standing over him with clenched fists. He didn’t quite understand how he had ended up on his back, but the dull ache on the side of his face told him all he needed to know.

“Do not play me for a fool,” Major Beers spat.
