Chapter Thirteen

Laney stretched her back as well as she could, which wasn’t very far at all considering Oren was fast asleep with his head against her legs. She didn’t want to jostle him, but the sky around them was lightening slightly and the sun would be up soon. She knew he would be embarrassed at being caught sleeping on the job.

“Hey,” she whispered, tousling his hair slightly as she spoke his name over his ear. “Hey, Oren. Wake up. The sun’s almost up.”

He stirred slightly but didn’t open his eyes. Laney felt around for the pocket of her button-up shirt to make sure she still had his glasses, patting them lightly where she’d stashed them after taking them off him. His whole trip would have been over if anything had happened to them. She shook him a little harder this time, moving her legs beneath his head to make him wake up. The blood rushed to her legs as she did and it took real effort not to yell at the pins and needles feeling flooding the tops of her thighs.

Oren finally sat up and looked around, blinking his eyes and trying to focus his eyes. Laney held out his glasses and he put them on automatically, then sat straight up when he realized he’d fallen asleep while they were supposed to be keeping watch.

“Crap! I can’t believe I fell asleep! I promised that guy Drew we could do this!” He was so disappointed in himself that Laney had to smile, just to cheer him up.

“Hey now, you did just fine. You only slept for a couple of hours, it’s more than most people could do. Besides, the cows weren’t going anywhere, I was watching them.”

“Oh great. So you can stay up all night long, but I’m a little baby who has to have his nap!” His look of disappointment had turned into a self-deprecating glower. He muttered a curse word under his breath, but not quietly enough that his sister didn’t notice.

“Whoa there! What kind of talk is that? Mom and Dad would have your butt dragged behind a horse if they heard that! Where did you even hear talk like that anyway?” she asked, reeling from hearing profanity come out of her baby brother’s mouth.

“Duh, I go to public school, remember? Half the teachers probably even talk that way.” Oren looked grumpy for a moment longer before realizing what he’d said. Public school had been a sore point between them for years, and a source of more than a few raging, screaming fights. Even though no one could say it was Oren’s fault that he needed help in school, help that their private school couldn’t provide, that hadn’t stopped Laney from flinging it in his face whenever the opportunity came up. After all, he’d been the reason their parents made them switch schools, forcing her to leave her friends behind and mingle with a whole new crowd right as she was starting high school. It was her turn to cringe.
