Chapter 7
When Deserah got home she immediately went up to her room and pounded a pillow, to relieve her anger.
Jill knew how she felt about bringing people with her on a stake out. Deserah would feel responsible if any one of them got hurt. And if one of them died she didn't think she could live with herself.
Deserah stopped pounding her pillow when she heard a knock on her door. "Come on in" she called out to the person behind the door.
"Deserah?" came the small voice of Sam, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing Hun" she said as she opened up the door and swept Sam up into a big hug. He squirmed a bit at first but then returned the hug.
"So what did you do in school today?" she asked him.
"Oh we learned numbers" Sam said with a disgusted face.
"Let me guess you don't like learning numbers?" Deserah said with a laugh
"No I hate doing numbers, they're making us learn all the numbers up to 100" He said with a cry.
Deserah laughed and gave him another hug. "Well if you need any help you come to me ok?" she said to him.
"Why?" he asked, "I know how to count to 100 I just don't like doing it"
Deserah shook her head then asked, "Does Mom know you hate doing numbers?"
"Of course not" Sam said, "If she knew she would make me keep saying them till I liked them and I know I never will"
Deserah laughed then changed the subject, "What did you want to ask me?"
"Huh?" he asked then remembering what he was going to ask her he said, "Oh I just wanted to know why you're so mad, but now that I see that you aren't I don't have to ask you now"
Deserah stifled a laugh then said, "Don't you have homework?"
"Aw shucks why did you have to remind me?" Sam said in a hurt voice.
"Ok out of my room and start your homework." She said as she shoved her little brother out of the room.
No sooner was Sam out of her room when the door bell rang. "I'll get it!" she said so that Sam would have to continue towards the kitchen where his homework lay waiting for him.
When she opened the door she saw Jill and Tina there. "What are you guys doing here so early?" she asked.
"Well I figured you could give Tina some Karate lessons or something before we went out to kill some bugs" Jill said as she walked through the door.
"Karate lessons?" Deserah asked in shock the recovering she grabbed Jill's arm and said, "Excuse us for a second Tina"
Pulling her into the family room Deserah asked, "Karate lessons? Shouldn't she go to a Karate class like I did? You do know there's one only three blocks from the school!"
"I know there is but they would only teach her the basics and we need to learn them fast." Jill explained, "She's a pretty quick learner but her Karate at the moment is very questionable."
Deserah frowned then said, "Ok fine I'll give her a Karate lesson but don't expect her to learn very fast. It took me more than a year to learn all I know"
"Oh thank you Deserah!" Jill squealed as she ran out of the room to tell Tina the good news.
"I just know I'm going to regret this" Deserah said to the now empty room.
