Treasured

Well, shit.

The rage dissipated, leaving me exhausted and drained, but I had this idiot to take care of now. I touched his face, looking at the swelling along his jaw that was sure to become a lovely bruise soon. Ow. He’d deserved it, but ouch. That was going to hurt. I put a pillow under his head and dragged myself over to my freezer to find a pack of frozen peas. No peas, but frozen corn was close enough. I grabbed a mostly clean dish towel, wrapped the corn in it and sat back down next to him, laying the improvised ice pack against his jaw. He flinched, barely, and I was actually kind of relieved to see him waking up. “You asshole.” That way I could curse him out more satisfactorily.

“D’ny?” Reese said blearily. His eyes fluttered open. He took in where he was and what was on his face. He looked accusingly at me. “You h’t muh!”

“You came out of nowhere, and you robbed my museum, and you almost fucking wrecked me!” I yelled at him. I leaned away from him on my arms, forcing distance between us so I didn’t hit him again. “You seduced me and fucked me and used me and probably enjoyed every fucking second of it, you bastard, so don’t even try pulling off self-righteous with me right now. I should call the cops. I really should. I know how you did it, I know you’re a fucking doppelganger, Reese.” I paused for a second. “Is that even your name?”

“’S one of them.” He held up a hand to forestall my next furious outburst and moved his jaw experimentally. “Not broke, but that was a good shot, pet. I figured you’d guess my nature when the pieces came together. Why haven’t you told the police what I can do, Danny?”

“I don’t know,” I said honestly, too pissed off to prevaricate. “I had plenty of opportunity to, sitting in the fucking police station all fucking day while they were looking for you.”

“Shouldn’t swear so much, pet, it’s bad for your vocabulary.”

“Fuck you!” I shouted. “What did you take?”

“Just a few lovely things,” he replied. “And before you ask, I don’t have them anymore. They’re already on their way out of the country, so don’t bother threatening me for them.”

“I can’t believe you did that!” I exclaimed. Now that I’d gotten started I couldn’t seem to control my volume. “You stole something that people all over the world would love to see, Reese, something beautiful and precious. You stole an experience from them. You also used me to do it, and that—” The words stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t force them out, so I went around them instead. “That made me spend the day in jail, and even there I wasn’t safe from my mother. I had to explain to her why I was in prison. I’ll have to explain this to my boss. What if I can’t finish my doctorate because of this, you fucker?”

“What’s stopping you? You’ve been proven innocent, pet.
