So we hit Hector up for some more cash an’ got a fuckin’ van cause I’ll be fucked if I’m walkin’ or hikin’ with 3 women an’ a big girl, aka @TrayDawsonBT.

It was still dark, but I wanted to hit the road before it got light so we would be well an’ truly there before night fall. Jessi started bitchin’. My response was “Suck it up princess”. The look I got was …… well….. yeah, but she got movin’. So did all of ‘em. They knew I meant business.

We got on the road an’ as we pulled outta the city limits I started to explain that we get there. make camp. Check out our surroundin’s, the lay of the land. Then Friday night it would start. We would follow the instructions of the legend each night ‘til that entrance to the promised land was revealed to us. Cause I was fucked if I was goin’ back to N’Awlins after this empty handed.

Thinkin’ back to our get together. Man was it good to see @TrayDawsonBT an’ @TineByrne. Hearin’ the news from home. Also gotta say it was a relief the chicks got along, @BriiJarvis an’ Tine. But then again me an’ Tray are cool an’ he’s with Tine, but ya know how women are.

Laughs to myself on that one, otherwise I’d get an up slap to the back of the head from both of ‘em an’ probably Jessi too for good measure. Anyway back to the story.

I hadn’t really told Tray and Tine why I asked them to come. But the proof of their friendship I now can’t doubt. After all the shit I’ve done there were no questions asked. They were here when I needed them. And as I looked from face to face as I told of the legend, of the 3 wolves, a summer solstice an’ a full moon, I could see that even though the chance of walkin’ away richer was a plus, it was more the adventure that had us excited. This Pack of loners and outcasts. Me for misunderstood murder, Brii escapin’ her family, Tine for her magic, Jessi for her independence an’ Tray. Well Tray preferred a solitary life. But with me ‘round that hasn’t always been an’ option.

So we talked into the night after I’d finish all we’d been told by Hector. We wondered if @WereDavidWilson would come. We worked our plan with the extra wolves. Laughed at one howl for yes an’ two for no. Or did we change that? We drank, we ate. Finally after months this was my first genuine smile.

I had just come home from the library and settled in the sunroom with my dinner when my phone rang. I couldn’t help but smile at the caller ID. “Rica! What a lovely surprise.” The young woman on the other end of the call laughed. “Hello, Bran. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.” I muted the news before answering. “Always happy to hear from you, Rica. You know that.” I could hear some papers rustling in the background. “I do. Thank you.” Rica sighed softly, prompting my questioning. “What is it, Rica? Is something wrong?”

It was a few moments before Rica answered me. “Nothing’s wrong…exactly. I just needed some advice.” She hesitated before continuing, “Have you ever kept anything from Rick?” I was a little surprised by the question, but tried not to let it show. “I think most couples have things they just don’t talk about, honey. Little things. Things that aren’t that important. Have I ever lied to Rick or purposely hidden something serious? Not intentionally. Not if I could help it.”

I could hear the squeak of Rica’s chair as she got up. If I had to guess, she was probably pacing a bit in her office at the clinic. “Honey, what is it? What’s going on?” Again the mechanical squeak let me know she was sitting once more. “I’ve been seeing someone. He’s a great guy. Funny, smart, strong. He’s good to me. I think you’d like him.” I could hear the smile in her voice. “That’s wonderful, Rica. You sound happy.” I didn’t want to say much more, to stop her from telling me whatever she needed to. “I am. Thanks.”

“He’s um….he’s part of the Shreveport pack. Works for Alcide Herveaux.” Rica knew that I would have no problem with supes of any kind. Her ex was a dear friend of mine. Even if he was a vampire executioner. “One of his coworkers had some trouble. Needed to get out of Shreveport and Bon Temps for a while.” I gave her a few moments to collect her thoughts. “Nothing wrong with helping someone who needs it, Rica.” “Even if I didn’t tell David that I let Jake stay at the apartment? Even after David came to NOLA?”

I knew there was more to the story, but now didn’t feel like the time to press. “If he asked you directly, would you tell him?” She answered quickly and without hesitation. “Of course.” I tried to smile so she could feel it in my voice. “Would anything change if you told him right now?” She laughed nervously. “Well, since I got a message from Jake asking me to look after his motorcycle until he got back….nothing. He’s no longer at the apartment.” “Then try not to worry too much about it, honey.” On the other end of the phone, I could hear a soft sigh. “You don’t think I did anything wrong?”

I chose my words carefully. “Unless Jake did something illegal and you were deliberately hiding him, you simply did what you did to help a friend. Whether or not David will be happy about it, I can’t say. But if Jake comes up in conversation, be honest.” Again she laughed a little. “Not sure Jake and I are friends, but I helped him because he’s David’s friend. It was just a place to sleep.” Since that sounded exactly like something I would do, I tried to reassure her. “Thanks, Bran. I really appreciate this.” “Of course, Rica. I hope one of these days I get to meet this guy of yours.” Finally, her laugh felt genuine and less nervous. “I hope so, too. Night, Bran.” I smiled as I said good night, ending the call and getting back to my dinner as I turned up the volume on the news again. I hoped this David of hers really was a good man. She deserved to be happy….again.

Ees nice. *laughs* @TrayDawsonBT and I are on our way to the airport right now. Got a special flight lined up. 

I called @WereDavidWilson, left Jake’s number and where we’ll be staying at. 

We told Fred to stay at the shop. Keep an eye on things. Even did a spell on him so he appears human. Don’t want humans going after Gargoyles now. 

All Tray and I have to do now is wait for the plane then sleep until possibly tomorrow night. After all, we have stops along the way. 

This is Tine signing out until we reach our destination. 

Smell ya later! 

Oh, all right. Well, first, I want you to tongue my bung, while you juggle my balls in one hand, and play with my asshole with the other, but don’t stick you’re finger in. Then I want to pinky you while I stick in your fuckin’ friend’s brown, while Silent Bob watches, and fuckin’ spanks it in a Dixie cup. After that, I want to smell your titties for a while, and you can pull my nutsack up over my dick so it looks like a bullfrog. Then I want you to fuckin’ flick my nuts while your friend spanks me off in the same Dixie cup that Silent Bob jizzed in. Then, we throw the Dixie cup out.

*laughs* Movie quotes.
