I took the elevator to the second floor, still carrying my pack and wearing my jacket. The store was still open for a couple of hours, but I didn't think I'd stand out too much making the walk from the elevator to the front door of the apartment. I'd been tempted to run, but I knew that fast movements tended to attract the eye. Instead, I walked slowly and opened the door. Which wasn't locked.

Puzzled, I dropped the pack inside the front door and took off the heavy leather jacket. “Jessamin?” I called.

“In here, Boss,” she called from her bedroom. “I've got company; sorry for not asking first.”

“Be right there,” I said curiously.

I knocked, then walked in. I found Alana and Delores sitting on the bed, looking into the closet.

“She said you played MTV cribs. She was so excited she wanted us to come up and see while the store was dead,” Delores told me apologetically.

“I don't mind,” I told them. “Like I said the other day, she's part of the family too. If she wants to show off, I don't mind.”

I didn't, but it would have been nice if she'd hung a sock on the door, or left me a note? Eh, I guess I really wasn't that bothered. I was just weirded out by the fact the front door was unlocked more than anything else, and that was all. It was the least weird thing that happened to me all week long.

“Did today go well? You smell like you've been at the bar again,” Alana asked, walking over and giving me a hug.

“Yeah. Apparently, I introduced Inneshys to Americana fare food and there was a bit of a rush, so I played short order cook to help out for an hour or so.”

“You did what?” Delores asked as I hugged Alana to my side.

Her smile was beautiful, so I kissed her temple, making her giggle.

“Today I cooked hamburgers. And I took some recipes for condiments to Hilda.”

Alana grinned at the thought, then pulled on my belt. I'd forgotten to take it off.

“And got some gear?” Delores asked.

“Holy crap, Boss,” Jessamin said, flying up from her trunk. “You already got potions and stuff!”

“Yeah, I'm going in day after tomorrow,” I told her. “I put this on to try it out and load it, and forgot to take it off. I'm going to go try on the other stuff later on, and—”

“I want to see,” Alana said, pushing me backward. “Go try it on now!”

“Oh yeah, let's see the shizzna!” Jessamin called as I was herded out of the doorway.

“Oh, that coat...” Delores murmured as I picked up my coat and pack.

I turned and handed it to her. She let out an oof sound, then despite the weight, slung it over her shoulders and put her arms in. She looked like a little kid trying on their dad's clothes, but she was looking at it like she was in love with my jacket.

“This is amazing. I'm sure the weight won't affect your movement.
