At KT's home. Kalim was looking after hyperactive boy Horo Horo (2). He was finally put asleep. With baby sleeping pills. Made for hyperactive kids. Kalim was sitting watching TV. Nothing good was on and KT only has a few channels.
"KT should get decent channels. Nothing is good on."
Horo Horo 2 was crying. Kalim went up to see him and calm him down a bit.
"I want mommy," he cried.
"Mommy ain't here. But I am here. Look!" Kalim picks up a blue bunny "Bunny rabbit! Hey Kid! Where is the carrot-cigars."
Horo Horo 2 gave him one weird look.
"Ok... Oh look, here is Fat Tony!" Picks up a teddy bear. "Give me your honey and you get the carrot-cigars."
Horo Horo 2 grabbed the bunny and hugged it.
"Rabbits don't smoke carrots."
"I was trying to be funny," said Kalim.
"Well, you are not. Get mommy!" Horo Horo 2 said cheekly.
Kalim whispers under his breath "Stupid little brat."
Back at the restuarant. Hedgehog was going outta control. Then wouldn't any outlaw be like that. Especialy if he sees his wife with a guy he thinks is his friend then Hedgehog is bound to go coo-coo.
"Kate!"
"Horo Horo!" KT replied.
"NO! NO!" I cried.
Why are all the good girls taken by jerks or freaks? It's just not fair!
Hedgehog pointed his gun at me. I walked over to him and put my hands in the air. Everyone thought I was crazy. Though Hedgehog was easy to talk to. Crazy guys are easier to talk to second time round.
"Hedgehog..."
"What is it, Sliva?"
I stood still "Before you rob anyone just think what you are doing to your wife."
"After I think, can I then rob everyone?"
"Yes. Yes you can. I'll even time you!"
Hedgehog sat on the ground and closed his eyes. Everyone escaped from the restuarant. Hedgehog began thinking about his past and what happened to him and his wife.
Hedgehog's Past
"Here is your son," said the Midwife in Hedgehog's past.
The mid wife passes Hedgehog Horo Horo 2. He got his index finger to tickle his tummy when Horo Horo 2 grabbed Hedgehog's finger with his tiny little hands. Hedgehog smiled at the laughing baby.
"He likes you," said KT.
"Kate, what is his name?"
KT smiled "His name is Horo Horo. After the man I love."
"Hello Horo Horo. I am your daddy,"
Back to reality. KT and I were still in the restaurant waiting for Hedgehog to come to his senses. After his five minutes. He got his gun out again and pointed it at me.
"Thanks Sliva! For opening up my wounds and dating my ex-wife!"
"Hey! She deserves a man in her life. She is too busy with your son to have a social life. And you go around running from the law thinking you are big!" I said showing.
Hedgehog gave me one weird look "What are you saying? I met you in a prison cell in Reno!"
KT slapped us both across the face. "I WANT TO GO HOME! I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO ANY OF YOU!"
Kalim was back at KT's. He was having trouble getting Horo Horo 2 to sleep. It was 10pm and Horo Horo 2 was hyper on pizza. So much for pizza putting him to sleep. It made him more hyper. Kalim needed a mircle. A mircle like Marry Poppins.
Just then, Mrs Smith flew through the window on an umbrella like Mary Poppins did. She landed in Horo Horo 2's room. Kalim was impressed by what he saw.
"YOU CAN FLY ON THAT?" Kalim said shocked.
"Remember when I was on the mechanical bull and Sliva speeded it up so I would lose. Well, when I flew off, I would have landed somewhere and broke all my bones. Well, when I married my second husband Mr Christopher Smith from London, I took umbrella flying lessons. Which are very handy. I passed with flying colours on my first test."
"There is such a thing?" asked Kalim.
Mrs Smith slapped Kalim across the face "Didn't you listen? Now, I see you made this child more hyper by feeding him pizza. There is no way to calm him down unless..."
Mrs Smith goes into her handbag and pulls out some pills. They were child friendly sleeping pills. Children would be easily fooled if they saw them b'coz they looked like candy...
"What is the kid's name?" Mrs Smith whisphered.
"Horo Horo..."
Mrs Smith looked shocked "ANOTHER ONE!"
Mrs Smith turned to look at Horo Horo 2 who was calming staring at her. Wonder who the hell was she. Mrs Smith gave Horo Horo 2, two pills and he swallowed them. Then suddenly, he went to sleep. Mrs Smith's work was done.
Mrs Smith jumped on the window sill and opened her umbrella up and flew off to her car which was a five minute walk from the house. Kalim looked amazed.
"Horo Horo's grandmother is something."
The next day, I was sitting at the table doing a crossword. KT woke up making herself a cup of coffee. She was giving me the silent treatment. She looked at me while drinking her coffee.
"I am sorry about last night. I was just mad that you never told me you knew my ex-husband," said KT.
"Hey! I never knew who your husband was when you described him though I should've guessed when you said he really like Hedgehogs and Squrrils..."
KT smiled "So, you are leaving today..."
"For the Arts Festival in Denver," I replied.
"How about I make you and Kalim some sandwiches for the road? My treat."
My Adventure is not finished just yet. This is just one happy cliff-hanger. Will I continue to date KT? Will Kalim get flying umbrella lessons? Ok, I am tired I can't be bothered to say... Zz...zz...Zz...
