Chapter Fourteen

Let it suffice to say that despite a willing spirit, the flesh finally had enough at about 3:14 in the AM. Sunlight like the Celestial Flashlight of Doom finally gets the angle to shine right in my eyes and jolt me back from dreamy-bye land.

I moan as I roll to my side, acknowledging that familiar pain.

Frances stirs, pulls the damp and discolored hotel blanket closer to her. My blurry eyes focus on a series of ground-in chocolate smears on the carpet, the sheets, and the Big F.E.’s hair. Yeah, we got creative, and we’re probably going to have to leave a tip grande for the housekeeping staff. Still, it was worth it.

I blink the old peepers shut for a moment only to see a message from Doc.

Doc: I told you to join me at 0600 for breakfast.

Me: Shit, Doc, I didn’t go to bed until after three.

Doc: What’s your point? You want your waffles or not? The free breakfast ends at 0830.

I catch the time in the corner of my iNet screen. Three past eight – better get a move on.

Me: Have Arnie get me a fat stack if you will. I’ll be down shortly.

Doc: Alone?

Doc: Don’t know about you, but I’m good, and you need to get down here pronto because I’ve been waiting for you for two hours. Plus, there are waffles to be had and I don’t want to eat alone.

Me: Did you eat already?

Doc: What are you, my new FDA Monitor? Just hurry!

I’m in my pants and yesterday’s shirt a minute or so later. Frances told me last night that she was going to deliver some more clothes to us, but the drone hasn’t come yet and I’m good – one sniff at the old pits tells me I still have a day or so left in these duds.

“Can’t forget you, buddy,” I say, going for my cane. I start to pull the blade out to admire it, but stop – Doc is waiting and my stomach is rumbling. I almost check the time again, wondering why Morning Assassin hasn’t come through the window yet. “Different world, bub,” I whisper to myself as I make my way into the hall. The keycard in my pocket, I bangtail it to the elevator. Sure, this place is only four floors, but I ain’t in the mood for stairs.
