CHAPTER 10

If I didn't know better I'd say that table was getting farther away instead of closer. I'd managed the restroom and now I was very slowly making my way to the kitchen table in the camper. By the time I got there all I wanted to do was go back to bed but I sat heavily in the seat instead and opened the curtains to peer outside. I wanted coffee in the worst way so I wasn't surprised to see Mason heading my way with two steaming coffee mugs. Mean old me was interested in seeing how he opened the door with his hands full, so when the door opened easily I was almost disappointed to see a little person holding the door for him.

The little person in question was a stranger so I figured out it was my attempted assassin. I was relieved not to see any weapons as he followed Mason inside. Mason stopped briefly trying to hide any surprise at my mutiny then sat the mug in front of me and I lost all desire to whine. I inhaled the heady aroma of coffee then took a sip before sitting back and smiling.

"Your such a pushover," Mason said as he sipped his mug. The elf at the door quietly sat on the edge of the sofa, staring at the floor. I looked at Mason and he just shrugged. Well, hell.

"Hey you," I said to the monster, "come here." He slowly stood up, still staring at the floor and walked towards me about two steps. Two very small steps. I had the urge to yell at him to see if he would jump but he was so pathetic looking I finally gave in.

I patted the seat next to me and softly said, "Come sit by me for a minute then you can go play with the others." I thought for a second he was gonna bolt out the door, but he made his way to me but refused to sit. Okay.

"What's your name?"

"Mike. Michael Flannery but people call me Mikey." in a voice so low it was almost a whisper.

"Are you the one that shot me?"

"I tripped," he said, suddenly looking me straight in the eye. "I ain't never shot no one in my life, that was living. I wouldn't have shot you but I tripped over that top step and the gun went off. I wouldn't shoot you on purpose cause you're so pretty." I felt my eyebrows climb into my bangs and glanced at Mason. Yep, he was hiding a grin behind his coffee mug. You laugh and you'll wear the rest of your coffee.

"Well, I wouldn't want you shooting anyone cause they're ugly either. I'm gonna be fine so stop worrying about it. Do you think you could sneak me something out of the kitchen to eat? I sure am hungry."

"Oh, no ma'am, I sure couldn't do that. Dr. Joe said he'd skin me alive if I let you talk me into feeding you outta a 'sense of obligation.
