Morris Micklewhite
Hi. My name is Morris Micklewhite. You've met me before. The first time I said my life sucks. A lot, a fucking lot, happened since.
My life still kinda sucks, but it's gotten so far into the rabbit hole, I can't tell what suck is anymore.
Here's a summary of how I got into this mess:
First, my stepbitch of a sister (by marriage) forced me to naked cater her party 'cause I lost a bet.
Then, my asshole of a dad exiles me to my Uncle Harry, 'cause some of the party goers plastered my naked ass all over the internet.
Next, I find my Uncle Harry's living with a shit hot blonde, and they're both all kinds of strange, and keeping all sorts of secrets.
Then, me and Liz (the blonde) get our asses kidnapped (after she injects a bunch of weird shit in mine), by a mad pervert scientist who looks like Paul Shaffer.
Next, we're hooked up to a weird fuck machine, and I find Liz is some big shot super scientist, and Uncle Harry is a top secret hit man for the secret squirrels.
Then, while the machine is literally fucking us to death, a hot assassin-looking lady with green hair, bursts in, kills the guards, and dehooks us.
Next, I find the stuff Liz put in me is supposed to change me somehow, and we have to leave her behind, 'cause the locks keeping us to the benches are top of the line, and the green-haired lady can only free one of us before Hazard and his goons get back.
Finally, the green-haired lady drags me to her badass (and I mean badass, damn!) car, and seconds later I'm hunched down in the front seat speeding out of, what I later found out was, Fleming Key.
Did I tell you I was also naked, covered in cum, and the green-haired lady was looking at me like I'd just shit in her seat?
We sped across the bridge into Key West. She didn't say a word, except "fuck" and "shit" a few times. I don't know but the vibe she gave was a lioness cheated out of a buffalo in favor of a gazelle.
She slowed as we drove through Key West and turned down Flagler Avenue. We stopped at a Salvation Army thrift store.
"Unbuckle your seatbelt, crouch down, and keep out of sight."
I did as she said. It was kind of like Uncle Harry's rules. Do as you're told. Besides, I had a very strong feeling she was the only one keeping me safe at the moment, so I wasn't going to piss her off with bratty teen behavior.
She took a pack in with her. Ten minutes later she came back with a couple of bags. She'd also changed into a Tee and daisy dukes. She tossed a black T-shirt and khaki green cargo shorts to me.
"Put those on."
I hesitated. I was a little . . . sticky.
"Look kid, I'm not driving to Marathon with a naked teen in the car. It attracts attention. You can clean up when we get there."
Made sense.
The drive from Key West to Marathon took forty-five minutes. She drove fast. Her radar detector kept an eye out for speed traps.
I figured the drive was a good time to get to know this Jade Dragon lady.
"Just a . . . specialist," she answered.
"Uh . . . like Uncle Harry?"
"Yep."
"So you kill people."
"Yes I do, but only the bad ones, and sometimes I do rescues."
"Does . . . uh . . . Uncle Harry kill people?"
"So far as I know. We don't talk business."
"How do you know him?"
"He trained me. Well, he was my first real trainer. Introduced me to the business. We had some . . . interesting times."
"Oh." I decided not to ask for details.
"So you're Harry's nephew."
"Yes."
"You don't look like someone related to Harry."
"I take after my Dad and Grandpa. Uncle Harry took after Grandma. She was from Cyprus."
"Makes sense."
She fell quiet for a few minutes, then spoke.
"So how did you end up mixed with Harry and Liz? You don't look like a Lifer."
"I'm not. Whatever this 'Life' you're talking about. It's . . . complicated."
"We have plenty of time to uncomplicate it."
It didn't seem much point not talking about it, so I told her.
She had a laugh at stepbitch beating me at Call of Duty.
"Never, ever underestimate your opponent, kid. I made that mistake with Doc Hazard once . . . once."
Then I got to the party and the nude catering.
"I think you should be over your embarrassment by now kid. It looks like you've been nude a lot."
"Yeah, I guess."
I told her about Dad exiling me to Key West. What Liz did when we first met. The quiet period, and then the kidnapping and fuck machine.
"Geez kid, what's this with you and nudity?"
"I don't know. Swimming nude was Liz's suggestion I admit, but ever since the party it always feels I wind up naked all the time."
"Well, from what Liz told me, your life's about to get weirder."
"Yeah . . . what's going to happen?"
"We'll find out when we get to the safe house."
"Are we going there now?"
"No, we're holing up in a motel for a few days, until I get a handle on our current situation, and arrange transport."
"You think they're coming after us?"
"Maybe. I think I covered my tracks well enough, and Liz was the prize, not you. I don't think she'll talk. Plus, motels are kind of low key. Not too many people pry into those places."
I thought that was a good thing but it still felt bad leaving her. I didn't like to think what Doc Hazard would do.
We pulled into Marathon just after sunset. The motel was the Kingsail Resort. Out of the way and cheap, but not seedy.
"Stay here."
She went into the lobby and checked us into a two bed for two nights.
It was good as motels went: the two beds, a kitchenette and, most important, a bathroom with a shower.
Jade smiled, approving. She nodded towards the bathroom. "Well, get to it. I'm getting my gear."
I had few things to be happy about, that day. A nice hot shower was one of them. It was also the craziest, and kind of a game changer, but I'll get to that in a few.
At the moment, I was just happy to be out of my clothes, and under hot water, with soap and shampoo on my body.
I thought of everything that'd happened since that morning; all the things I'd found out since I came to Key West. It was all so nuts. Dad would never believe it, nor Mom, certainly not the stepparents, or Stepbitch.
What was going to happen? What did Liz put in me?
I was kind of pissed back at the warehouse, but in the shower, I noticed the anger was gone. I didn't even feel numb, just . . . curious.
What happens next?
I wanted to see. Thinking it over, I realized another thing: I didn't want to go back, and I don't mean the warehouse. I didn't want to go home. I wanted to go forward, into whatever mysterious future came towards me.
