.Shetugged lightly at the t-shirt to make it sit straight and then gave herself a once overin the mirror.Big blue jeans hung from her hips; kept in place by the belt she hadretrieved from her other pants.Plastered on her T-shirt was a full body picture ofPippi Longstocking, the redheads giant grin firmly in place.The last thing she didwas to gather up her hair into the short tail she had worn earlier, leaving the bangsin place once again.Smiling to herself she stepped out of the bathroom, bringing only her shoes withher.She left her spit clothes where they were, figuring that she would return afterthey were done to get her stuff.She moved to the living room and then sat down onthe couch to wait, something she didn t have to do for long.Two minutes later Amycould be heard bounding down the stairs and she appeared in the living roommoments later, dressed appropriately in warm clothes.Her hair was now clean andcombed, trailing halfway down her back. Okay! The blond woman said as she sat herself down on the couch as well. We re clean and ready to kick some ass! The only question I have is& Whichass? I don t know if any ass kicking will be needed, but I have someone we should talkto.A fence named Kennedy.I m not certain, but I think he s moved stuff forTarquin before now that the little elf is out of the fencing business. Sam stood upand gestured for Amy to do the same. If he doesn t know where Tarquin is, I ll bewilling to bet good money that he knows someone who does. Okay then, let s go! Amy s cheerful voice couldn t quite mask the underlyinganger that currently drove her.Her home had been violated, and on top of thatsomeone had stolen her Mothers cookbook.Yea, she wanted payback. Exactly! Let s go! the small voice came from the kitchen and moments laterCharlie simply popped into existence on Amy s head, clean from spit. But first,the turtle said has she stretched out her neck and head butted Amy. That s forleaving me covered in a towel! Amy winced and gently rubbed the impacted spot.Charlie s strength was in no way proportionate to her size. Sorry, I guess I got caught up in the moment.But hey, I tried to clean you up.Thathas to count for something, right? Oh yes, if not for the fact that the spit on me was a mental projection due to thefact that you were covered in spit. Then Charlie relented. But I suppose it is thethought that counts. Amy gave Charlie a pat on the shell and the trio walked outinto the hallway to move outside. Um, Sam hummed as she put a hand on Amy s shoulder. I don t suppose youhave a spare jacket I could borrow? Mine is a little& spit covered at the moment.And this weather isn t suited for just a T-shirt. Shifters, no matter the type, tendedto run slightly hotter than regular people so the weather outside shouldn t reallybother her.In theory.And in theory a person could go without food for severalweeks.That didn t mean either of them enjoyed it. Nothing of mine will fit you, that s for sure. Amy hummed as she looked up atthe ceiling and thought. But& I think Henry left behind a jacket when he and hisfamily visited a while ago.Let me check.She moved to the hallway closet and opened it up.After some rummaging she criedout in approval and pulled out a gigantic jacket, much bigger than Amy.Sam hadn tyet met Amy s brother, but she had seen pictures and the big black man wouldtower even over her, and he had the muscles to match.She took the jacket fromAmy s outstretched hand and tried it on and was glad that she only had to fold thesleeves up twice. Yea, it s a little big. Amy confirmed as she looked Sam over. But it ll helpagainst the wind.And it ll cover up Pippi. Hey! Was the indignant response from Sam. There is nothing wrong withPippi! No, no.There isn t.One of my favorites in fact.Especially lately. She addedunder her breath. But I don t think Pippi would work that well if we have tosqueeze this Kennedy guy for information.Lay the hammer on him.Press him forthe word on the street.Force  Alright! I get your point. Sam zipped up all the way to her chin and opened thedoor to step outside. Now hurry up or we won t make it in time to  squeeze himfor information. Amy quickly grabbed her own jacket and put it on while shefollowed Sam out of the house [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
