CHAPTER SIXTEEN

MANDY

Kareem pulled Serenity into Mandy's driveway and put it in park. He gave them each a grin. "At least it's a weekend you'll never forget." Mandy laughed and agreed, while Wyatt shook his head and muttered something along the lines of he'd prefer to remember it for the convention.

"Anyway, you guys did great. Especially you, Miss Incognito." He gave Wyatt a fist bump. "I'll see you in the morning, big guy." He then leaned over and gave Mandy as big a hug as he could in the front seat, one she gladly returned. "And see you in fifth period, if not before."

She and Wyatt got out and waved to Kareem as he drove off. They'd stopped by Wyatt's house real quick to grab his school things so he could finish up his homework. His mom wouldn't be home until after eleven, so Mandy insisted he stay with her and her parents until then. He'd been a lot more shaken up than she had by the near mugging. Her using Taekwondo on the guy had calmed her, much more than she ever would have thought possible.

Before they walked in, she engulfed him in a hug, this time with no intentions except to make sure he was okay. He took a few deep breaths, and they disengaged. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek, which got him to smile back.

Mom and Dad met them at the door. Dad gave her a big hug, while Mom did the same to Wyatt, and then they switched. Both were glad to see Wyatt, and they expressed how happy they were that he and Mandy had rediscovered their friendship. It actually choked her up a tiny bit.

When they disengaged from the hugs this time, Dad said, "Well, was the rest of the day fun?"

"Yeah," she said. "I'm glad we went back."

Mom cleared her throat. "You assured us you had everything under control earlier, so we didn't press for details. But now it's time you spilled it."

Mandy told them all about the incident. The gun was loaded, but the safety had been on, so that made it all a tiny bit safer in hindsight. The guy had never even bothered to try to run before the cops got there not long after Wyatt called. He stayed on the line with the 9-1-1 operator while they waited, and when the police showed up, they knew the mugger right away as a constant nuisance in the area. The guy tried to tell the officers that she and Wyatt had jumped him, but when the police officer in charge calmly told another officer to go get the camera feed for the alley, that the mugger would take an even bigger fall for lying, the guy said that maybe he remembered wrong, but it was because of all the kicks he'd received.

The officer shook his head at the guy. "So you're saying this girl, this much smaller than you girl, kicked your ass? They're going to love hearing that when you get sent back to prison.
