CHAPTER 2

“Hattie, you’re back! Oh, my Goddess, are you okay?”

I put Fraidy down on the floor and watched him scurry to his brothers and sister, as my ever faithful assistant, Millie Midge, rushed toward me. She scrutinized me with her almost lilac colored eyes. Millie’s hands were trembling as she passed them over my body quickly, checking for injuries.

“Millie, I'm all right,” I said, warding her off with my upturned palms. Her head darted toward the cats. “Guys? You all good? All okay?”

The Infiniti looked up at my empathetic friend and nodded in collective agreement. Fraidy was still shaking. My assistant scooped him up and held him so that his head was directly under her chin. His body relaxed a little, and I felt relieved when I saw his head fall onto Millie’s chest.

I turned to the other person in the room.

“Hattie, dear.” A breathy Carpathia breezed toward me. Even under the thick layers of aloe-soaked bandages, the bewitching vampire was all curves and womanly contours. “Please, tell me you’re okay?” My vampire friend inquired.

Millie held her hand up and reached for my shoulders. She brought her lovely face to within an inch of mine, and stared at me. “How close were you to the blast?”

Carpathia crowded in from the other side of my assistant. Once again, I put my hands up to fend off my inquisitive friends.

“I’m okay, guys, I’m okay.” I huffed. “We all are,”

Jet bounded into the room and settled into a bounce-athon in the middle of the floor. He easily cleared a foot in height. I wondered if he’d been at the ‘nip again. “Yep, yep, you guys rock for all, like, coming back alive like that. I mean, Boom! Yep, yep, even the glass in here rattled, yep, awesome, scary though, yep!”

“Calm down, honey,” I advised my zippy cat.

I turned to the yummy mummy. “Carpathia, what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be risking daylight like this,” I said, eyeing her body-wrap suspiciously.

“Darling! What nonsense!” She enthused through her cotton covered mouth. “I came to share with dear Millie here, the abhorrent truth of the verdict.” Carpathia put a bandaged hand to her bandaged throat. “But, then the explosion! We were told to stay in here until the ‘threat’ has been investigated. GIPPD guys are swarming the area already. But, did you see anything? You were so close to where the bomb went off, no?” Her cloth-fingers drummed her eve’s apple in a jittery dance.

“Bomb?” I asked. “What makes you think it was a bomb?”

“Oh, I’m just guessing, darling. It sounded like a bomb though. What happened, I wonder?” Her eyes sparkled with unbridled excitement.

“We don’t know anything yet,” I advised. “Probably a gas leak, or … well, I don’t know what it was, but we’ll find out soon enough, I guess. David will call after he’s made sure the area’s secure.”

“I hope nobody was hurt,” Millie said.

Shade head bonked Millie’s forearm from his place on the counter. “Respect,” he said solemnly.

“So, what about the Kramp verdict?” Millie asked, her eyes darkening.
