“How is this going to keep my store safe?” she asked, managing to keep her voice calm.

“Don’t you worry Tumble Darlin’, we are moving all the breakables. What could go wrong?” Crowbar told her with a grin through his blond beard. Terry sighed. Charlene came over from talking to Mockingbird and sat next to her.

“They mean well, right?” she asked jokingly.

“Uh huh,” Terry replied.

They had moved all the stock into the back rooms and kitchen area. Now they were using the shelves as barricades to secure the front section of the store. Once Terry had hesitantly agreed to Ajax’s plan they had put it into motion immediately, as if they knew she might change her mind. Too late now, she told herself. She made a sudden decision.

“I’m going out for a smoke, coming?” she asked Charlene. The woman shrugged and got up. Terry just didn’t want to watch the reordering of her store. She knew she was doing the right thing; she just didn’t like it.

She walked outside and the night was cool and quiet. It was what she needed as she lit a cigarette.

“You know those things will kill you right?” Charlene said. It was exactly what Ajax had at the beginning of the previous day.

“So I have heard,” she responded to her friend.

“So you and the big guy had a good time tonight?” Charlene asked bluntly. There was no one else around and Terry decided she might as well talk about it.

“Something like that. How did you hear about it?” was Terry’s return question.

“That Mockingbird talks almost as much as I do. He said the three of you were making all kinds of noise. Even if they hadn’t though, you dressed in a hurry,” she pointed out. Terry looked down and blushed, a little embarrassed. She had not realized she was not wearing her t-shirt. Just her bra and short vest.

“Shit, well this night is as weird as the day was. Who are you to talk about dressing in a hurry,” she asked humorously. Charlene was still in her light robe and shorts with a tank top. She had put her hair into a pony tail.

“Well I was trying to sleep when I was interrupted. Speaking of which, sorry about interrupting boss. I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t panicked,” Charlene apologized.

“No worries Char. We were done and having a beer when you showed up. It was fun, but you didn’t really interrupt. Quit feeling bad about it. I feel bad that you are still here. Maybe we should both stop feeling sorry and just deal with it,” Terry told her. Charlene laughed and they shook hands on it.

“Great, it is a deal. I have got to wonder though about all this. I mean, he said you were going to invite the bad guys in when they come, how is that going to work?” Charlene asked reasonably. Terry didn’t have an answer for her. She hadn’t been told that either.

“Beats the hell out of me. From what your sister said they will be here in what, two hours?” Terry asked taking a drag from her smoke.
