Chapter 23

Seth

WHAT A GIANT WASTE of time. With every minute in my shrink’s office, with every idiotic question I had to answer, more fairies popped babies. This took what? A day in the other world? And I still needed to do a little shopping on the way back. I just had to convince Doctor Chambers that I was perfectly fine, so he could clear me for work already.

“We both know this is different. When you were in the navy, you killed our enemies. This time, you shot a civilian.” Doctor Chambers obviously didn't know shit about the military.

“That's why I shot him in the leg. Besides, when someone goes for my gun, he is the enemy. It's me or him. Honestly, I barely even thought about it all day yesterday.” Was that the wrong thing to say? He might think I was too desensitized. Those blasted shrinks.

“What helped you keep your mind off it?”

Hunting fairies. Yeah, I couldn’t say that. “I met a nice girl.” My lips stretched into a smile.

“Tell me more about her. What is she like?” Doctor Chambers drummed his fingers on the desk, next to the voice recorder, then pushed the tiny device to the side and stilled his hands.

“She’s magical.” Literally. “A science nerd.” It took some dedication to read textbooks for a few hours every morning.

“You sound happy talking about her, though that’s not a very thorough description. How did you two meet?”

I caught her teleporting into our world. “Through a friend. Listen, Doc, I hate sitting on my ass all day. We both know that shooting a guy in the leg isn’t that big of a deal for me. I’ve done worse, and if those things didn’t mess my head up, then why should this be any different?”

“Because he wasn’t an enemy combatant. I understand your frustration, but you know you have to do this before you can get back to work.”

Oh, hell, maybe it wasn’t that bad to stay on leave until we exterminated the fairies. “Fine, don’t put me back on the streets.” I did kill someone since the last time I spoke to the good doctor, after all. Keeping that to myself too.

Nasi's words kept replaying in my mind as I finally got out of the therapist's office. What if I did bring that guy and his daughter to the other world? Sure, no school, roads, or even sewers sucked, but physical safety was more important than education.

I sat in the car and pulled two wooden chips out. Technically, I should leave one in my house, just in case. That’s why I took an extra for landing bay three.

I tapped it on the steering wheel. Hierarchy of needs. Air. Water. Food. Shelter. Love. That girl deserved better than getting beaten, and as much as her daddy pissed me off with his attempted suicide, he was the better parent.

Screw it. I started the car and drove to the hospital. The smell of antiseptics greeted me. There, on the second floor, lay the man I didn't want to see ever again.
