Chapter Five

"You'll have to search me."

His sideways grin had her rolling her eyes. He looked down to open his jacket and started to tip over.

Cameo caught him. She had to fight to get him upright. His greater height and weight didn't make it easy to hold him and search at the same time. She pushed his hands aside and ran her hands over his pockets.

She felt the lump that was the Stone on his right side. Using her left shoulder to hold him against the tree, she stuffed her hand in his pocket and found it empty.

"What the hell?” She moved her fingers around to find a slit in the back of the pocket that the Stone had slipped through. She unbuttoned his jacket to reach inside to find the Stone through the thin silk of the lining and push it back to where she could get to it.

"I've got it, just hold on one more minute.” Cameo worked the stone back into the pocket. Kezred slid sideways then fell, taking her with him. Her hand was trapped in his pocket, pulling her down across him so that she landed with her elbow in his gut with her knees in the wet grass.

"Dammit, Kez! Don't you dare pass out on me!” The stone rolled into her palm. She pushed off his chest to drop it into the pouch. “Kezred.” Cameo watched the frown form on his face but his eyes stayed shut.

“Kez!” She shook his shoulder.

He frowned some more, finally cracking his eyes open. She held up the pouch so he could see it before stuffing it into her own pocket.

"Beautiful,” he whispered as his hand came up to feel the back of his head.

Cameo pulled him into a sitting position and then stood up, offering him a hand.

He lifted an eyebrow in the faint light, “Nice undies."

She took a step back and glared at him. “Can you try not to be an asshole for five minutes?"

"Sure, which five?” Even half dead, he had to have the last word.

She stayed where she was as he got to his feet, only moving forward to steady him when it looked like he was going to fall over again. Cameo growled under her breath as she draped his arm over her shoulders.

"Where are we going now?” That wasn't what she'd meant to say. Their little adventure was over; they'd made it out alive. Those damn shoes were killing her arches. Why didn't she just leave?

He pointed across the dark expanse of the park to the apartments on the other side. “In there, number one-fourteen."

Cameo helped him across the park while his strength was returning at the same rate it had left now that the Stone was safely cocooned in the pouch in her pocket. By the time they reached the apartment he was back to normal. Kezred opened the door and walked in under his own power, leaving Cameo to make up her own mind. She knew if she stepped in it was her own decision.
