*****
Eyes wide with fear I turned my head slowly towards the door then back to Lara. She had a placid smile on her face, still blissed out on the fact that I'd let her back into my life.
Shit, they've figured out I'm the guy that stopped the bank robbery. They're probably gonna haul me in for some questioning. No way I'm capable of holding up under interrogation. What's the sentence for vigilantism? Community service? Prison?
I grew more nervous as the worries swirled around and over my mind, overloading my-
Snap!
A quick flick of a damp pseudopod cut through my daze, bringing my attention back to the matter at hand. Lara frowned at the necessity of helping me through my panic attack, my body, though healed, wasn't quite chemically balanced yet.
"Mr. Reeder. Please open the door."
Scrambling, I opened the door, trying to look as nonchalant as possible. Two officers in the standard navy blue uniforms, one male, one female, stood in the hallway. I noticed the female officer was actually a couple inches taller, which was a little strange and threw me for a micro loop. The brown haired male officer, hat clutched to his chest, spoke solumely, "Mr. Reeder, may we come in? It's about your father."
My blood, running hot from panic, flash froze in an instant, doused in a bathtub of liquid nitrogen.
"Yeah, come in," I said woodenly. I stepped back and took two steps deeper into my room when I stiffened, the panic returning in a rush.
Shit! Lara!
Lara, being the smart, cognizant slime creature she was, had anticipated the problem before I had. As the officers crossed the threshold to my room the final part of her finished oozing under the couch.
Nice Job!
"Thank you."
Like a cat wandering blindly into a room of sticky pads, I twitched at Lara's voice inside my head.
That's gonna take some time to get used to.
"I don't know. I think it's pretty intuitive, we just think things at each other and that's that. I mean, it's easier than talking that's for sure. Do you know how much of a pain it was to learn how to cycle air and then vibrate the passageway with-"
Aarrgghh! I was being rhetorical. Doesn't she realize I need to focus?
"Umm. I'd offer you a seat but the space in here is pretty limited," I said to the officers.
"That's okay," the man spoke again. "This won't take long. Yesterday, at approximately four o'clock in the morning, power went out at the Westside Correctional Facility. We're still not sure how he did it, but during the ten minute outage, your father, Mr. Tristan Reeder managed to bore a three foot hole through five feet of rebar reinforced concrete. His cellmate, Mr. Vlednar Corstus, was found dead of natural causes in his bunk after the fact. Time of death was approximated at two o'clock, two hours prior to your father's escape. We were hoping you might be able to give us a clue as to his whereabouts."
"Hey! Patrick! What are you doing? I don't think that's supposed to be public knowledge," the woman said, pulling on her partner's arm. The woman's voice surprised me, unusually bright and peppy for her imposing stature. A weird sort of vibe floated from Lara, prompting me to sneak a glance down towards her. Sneaking from underneath the couch, a rather conspicuous blackish purple chord ran along the floor til it met with the chatty officers leg.
Shit! No!
All the terrible ways this could end ran through my mind like a destruction derby through five o'clock traffic.
I gave a sharp foot stomp near the tendril and a quick shake of my head, hoping Lara got the message. Shamefully turning a dull orange color, she began to retreat, somehow managing to indicate remorse as she pulled back. Instead of returning to the couch, she used the opportunity of my repositioned foot to latch onto me and slide underneath my sweatpants. I tried to keep my reaction off my face as she trailed apologetic kisses up my calf. About the time I leaned down to give her a smack the female officer finished scolding her partner and turned back towards me.
"Look, I haven't seen my father since he went to prison and I'm more than happy for that fact. If there's anything I can do to help throw that asshole back in prison, just let me know."
Noticing my fidgeting she gave me a questioning look and I scrambled to explain.
"Uhhh. I felt a bug crawling on my leg."
A very nosy and rude bug who's gonna get a talking to.
The officer shrugged, making me feel like it really didn't matter to her one way or another.
"As my rather verbose partner said, let us know if you see or hear from your father," she said, handing me her business card. "Morning, noon, or night, give me a call anytime if you have something." She tipped her baseball cap at me. "Have a nice night."
After they'd left I hung my head in my hands and sighed, flopping heavily onto the couch. The tendrils kept creeping up my legs, heading inexorably toward my crotch. Kicking my legs dislodged Lara's feelers. Falling to the floor with a wet plop, she started to reform her humanoid body as she crawled up between my legs. She attempted to embrace me, eager to continue where we left off after we were so rudely interrupted. A hand against her chest shut her down like a running back stiff arming a defender. My hand went about six inches into her sternum, her flesh stretching out around it like rubber, before snapping back into place.
"Whaaa-?" She whined.
"Nope." I said, my mind racing down other pathways. The implications of my father somehow knowing magic as well as having escaped prison made my head spin. "Sex will have to take a backseat for now." Her pout deepened. "First things first. We need to be more circumspect with revealing your presence to people. I have no idea how people would react and we'll avoid many potential problems if we can keep you a secret." Running those words through my head, I realized that how it could be construed that I was ashamed of her and I quickly worked to reassure her. "It's only til you get your coloration so that you can pass yourself as human." Her face scrunched up into distast but she had a more thoughtful look to her navy eyes. "Secondly, you didn't like it when I was in danger at the bank, right?" She nodded, her pout melting into a look of concern. "Good. This will be good penance for you then." She turned an interesting shade of yellow purple, the colors swirling inside her like an angry lava lamp.
