Chapter Thirteen

The next morning Kat groggily wandered into the kitchen, grateful for the smell of fresh coffee brewing. It had been awhile since she’d gotten to play darts, and though it had been worth it, she was exhausted and had a slight headache. Inner scorn surfaced as a self-deprecating laugh. She needed to toughen up if she was going to be a decent rock star.

Of course…things weren’t always what they seemed. Klement’s reputation as a big stoner had always been a subject of humor and admiration in the metal world, but after talking with him last night in the grow room she’d learned that it was more medicine to him than anything. Yet he seemed so painfully embarrassed about it, like she’d look down on him for having ADHD. Why would she, when she had her own disorder? Then she remembered him talking about his parents forcing him to take Ritalin. That would explain his shame, and his scorn for manmade drugs. Her heart ached for the little boy whose parents were barely around, and when they were, they couldn’t tolerate him unless he was doped up. The more Kat learned about Klement, the more she understood why he was so eccentric.

Cliff and Rod were just finishing up some toaster strudels and rising from the table, looking ready to face the day, though Cliff looked a little pale and red-eyed. Kat’s stomach sank a little as she realized Klement was nowhere in sight. Then her lips curved in a rueful smile. At least she’d mastered sleeping in like a rock star.

Roderick approached as she was pouring coffee. “We’re going to go pick up Cliff’s car and check out the shops downtown. Want to come along?”

Kat shook her head. After hanging out at the club last night, she had no desire to go out in public again so soon. Something about her anxiety issues made too much socializing difficult. And: “Thanks, but I gotta help Klement with my car. We still have to wrestle the tank back in and hook up the hoses.”

Cliff laughed. “Don’t count on doing that anytime soon. He’ll be tapping away on his keyboard for at least another two hours—if you’re lucky.”

“That’s fine,” Kat said. “I have my own computer work to do today anyway.”

Taking her coffee back to her room, she paused in the hall and smiled at the rapid clackety-clack of Klement’s keyboard and the soft mutters coming from his office. He talked to himself when he was working? That was so cute. But she couldn’t discern a word because he rattled off whatever he was saying as fast as an auctioneer.

Kat took a sip of coffee and set it on the desk in her room, fired up her laptop and logged on to the admin section of her website. She still needed to call IT Guy and run the update. It was odd that he hadn’t answered the phone when she’d tried to call him last night, even more strange that he hadn’t called
