Chapter 21 Nursery rhymes

Three days later Raven was allowed to return to work, the alcohol in her system had drained earlier but Vince wanted to be safe and for once Raven didn't fight him on it. Randy waited at the front entrance for her, that heart racing smile made her heart skip a beat.

"Morning trouble" Randy grinned at her looping a giant arm around her neck. He shot her a look questioned the pie in her hands.

Its for Lay-cool, hoping we could bury the hatchett

"Yeah I don't think thats gonna work"

You'll see, I can be very convincing

Randy raised an eyebrow at her "And what did you do to this pie?"

Randy I am offended! Can't I be nice for once?

"Sure but not to sluts like Lay-cool and you know it"

Its just a normal meat pie

"Meat pie?"

Yes meat

Randy didn't believe her for a second but he wondered if she could convince Lay-cool of that.

Come with me and we'll see if I've still got it

Raven made her way down the corrider to the locker room, Michelle and Layla sitting down playing cards talking about girly crap.

"What do you want mute?" Layla scowled still hurt that Randy was helping Raven.

Raven put the pie down in front of them, and scrawled a message on her hand. I wanted to say I'm sorry and if you really want me to stay away from Randy then I will, I bought you this pie as a peace offering

Neither of them believed her for the moment, "What did you do to it?"

Nothing, just sick of the fightin. If you want him so badly Layla. He's yours. I'm stepping down

"And you'll stay away from him?"

Raven nodded yes, I know we won't be friends but at least this petty war will be over Raven cut a slice of pie and set it down on a napkin.

"Alright, but whats in the pie"

Raven shrugged Just meat and veges

Layla and Michelle apprenhensively took a slice each and ate a little. They took bigger bites as the flavour washed over them. "Are you not having a peice?"

Nah, I'm allergic to whats in there. You know how I said that I would stay away from Randy?"

"Yeah?"

I lied Raven gave them a devious grin. Both women turned angry standing up abrubtly their half eaten pie lay discarded. Raven scrawled something down on a bit of paper and showed it to both them. In a heartbeat their faces turned green and they bolted for the nearest bathroom. Raven let out her silent laughter thoroughly proud of her tiny yet highly disgusting and mean prank. She pulled the top of the pie open while Randy read the bit of paper.

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of rye

Four in twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

Raven held the pie out for him to see, and right there was evidence that she had cooked and baked blackbirds in a pie.

"Your a very scary woman you know that"

I know
