Chapter Eleven

I can’t decide what to do about Pink.

So, I’ve chosen to avoid him.

‘When in doubt get the hell out.’

That’s my motto. It even works sometimes.

-from the mad ramblings of Mercy Mayhem

Pinkerton Floyd

A week after returning to Happyville

Since we returned to town Mercy has been avoiding me. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the kiss I gave her before the battle with the Dragon Lady. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a little frustrating. I thought we were on the same page. Okay, that’s not altogether true. It’s kind of hard to be on the same page with someone who’s all over the place all of the time. She’s never just on one page. She dances between like ten different pages. So, yeah, I’m frustrated.

I need to figure out how to play this. I can’t be too direct. That doesn’t work with her. She’ll run for the hills for sure. I can’t be too sneaky about it either. It just makes her contrary. She’ll always do the opposite of what I want.

I thought about asking Titus for advice then I came to my senses. Let’s be serious. He got Julia on luck alone. Lucky for him Julia’s taste leans toward the twisted.

I considered going to the Witches for advice. I chucked that idea almost immediately. One of them would probably try to come up with some kind of love potion. I don’t want a Stepford Mercy. She’s just the right amount of weird as she is.

I also rejected the idea of turning to Carmony. She used to have a crush on me. Talking to her about this would just be strange. Also, she and Mercy are friends. The last thing I need is her ratting me out. I like Carmony but trust is another issue altogether.

So, that brings me to Caine Woodley. I’m not so certain this is a great idea. I’m pretty sure he got Mary Mary out of the goodness of her heart. She probably chose him over his brother Abel because he was more pathetic. That’s just how she is.

“So you want advice on how to win Mercy’s heart,” asks Caine with a grin. I had to force down the gag. Does he have to make it sound so mushy? I think he’s been hanging with Mary Mary too much.

“I want advice on how to keep her from getting away,” I tell him. Is that so hard to understand?

Caine laughs. “Here I thought you wanted romantic advice but you actually want hunting advice.” Now he’s getting it.

I nod. “Yes. That’s it exactly!” I didn’t even realize that until he said it. “It needs to be something smooth. She’ll smell a trap a mile away.”

The minute I said ‘smooth’ I realized I was in the wrong place. Caine can tell me how to locate my target. How to take her down with a single shot. He’s got a lot of great hunting skills but ‘smooth’ is not his thing.

“You need to use bait,” he says matter-of-factly.

Okay, maybe he knows a little bit.
