Chapter 10:
-Let her alone!-
Meanwhile Michael was walked home in the hardest rain and was completely soaked... good that he only wore this scrap, otherwise he would have dripped like a waterfall
"Hey, Mike, where were you? You look like a drowned rat." Caleb joked however, Michael didn't answer on this stupid remark. Instead Michael went into the bathroom and took off at first the rest of his trousers and got into the shower. My gosh, half of the street dirt rinsed of his body. It was in time to take a shower before he was counted among the pigs. After few minutes, he had the shower thoroughly and the hair was washed too. He dried off and put the bathrobe around his hip. Oh shit, he couldn't go into his room and especially not in Kathleen's. He urgently needed clothes or for the start... underpants. He had no other choice as to ask the boys.
"Ehm... could lend me somebody of you a few shorts? I can't go in my room." the two only grinned. "Please."
"All right. In my room, in the low drawer of my dresser." answered Zed.
"Thank you."
He was again back again soon, hung up the bathrobe only shortly and then joined the two scavengers. He looked totally exhausted, but merely like in shock.
"What's the matter?" Caleb asked curiously.
"You don't look good. Are you sure that you want to pull this through today."
"If not today then never... I told Melissa the truth."
"You have what?" hissed Caleb.
"Don't believe, I feel any better."
"We want to hope this." growled zed. "Why didn't you kill her? You should drink something and should gain strength before you want to execute the revival."
"I won't kill her, savvy and if one of you only looks crooked at her, then you're only bones." hissed Michael, coming back his strengths again. It was difficult to one-estimate him when he's weak and when not. His weakens showed only his strengths and it needed much to weaken him. "Take care of Selene. It's getting dark soon. Bring her to me." he ordered.
