Chap.12
I stretched out and roared/yawned hugely. We found Matt, Elisa, and Tam waiting for us. Tam looked smug as hell and somewhat tired, and it piqued my curiosity, along with everyone else's. We gathered around and it was Hudson who asked "What makes you look like the cat who got the cream?" Tam did a little dance and twirled. She was laughing but it was weird seeing her do something like that. "Well, if you haven't heard the news yet, Auntie Dearest seems to have gotten a lead on me…" she paused smiling fit to burst "in Europe!" she spun around again. I caught her and made show of checking to se if she was alright. "Are you sick or something?" she tried to squirm out of my grasp, but I just scooped her up and said "sorry but you need to prove you're not sick, in order for you to get down." She pouted at me and crossed her arms. Everyone was laughing, giggling or trying to hide it. "Fine. I'm not sick just happy I have at least a weeks reprieve from her, and I also stopped a turf war today, so I think I'm entitled to a bit of fun." She half grumbled half explained. I almost dropped her. "A turf war?!" Elisa looked impressed and Matt looked awed, while we were trying to get more information out of her. "Who? Who wanted to have a go at you?" Lexington asked angrily. "They wanted to have a go at me and my shop. And I think they came out second best…" she started to re-new her attempt to get away from me. I gave up and set her down with a sigh. She giggled slightly. It was a good thing I was already red or she'd have seen me blush. "Oh Elisa?" Tam looked very embarrassed now. "Um…it was Tony…" she was red in the face now, and Elisa looked like an angry bull. "What!? And you didn't tell me? How can I keep you safe if…" we laughed and edged away so Tam could get reamed out by Elisa. But if it had been Dracon she could have been in serious trouble…I shook my head and thought: naw. She'd have gotten the drop on him anyway. Well that was a small relief. We had a few days safe haven for Tam now, and we could figure out a defense system, and ways to keep the suspicion off tam as she got herself up and going. I k new we didn't have all the information about Tam's Aunt but we knew that she was bad news. That's all I needed to know. We had a few nights that were aunt free, and safe. That was all we needed to organize something to keep her and her brothers away from prying eyes. Elisa was ranting now. She had a huge vendetta against Dracon, and she wanted him behind bars, and then she would shut up. She was generally right when she said they needed to be put into jail and whatnot. I trusted her judgment. I thought about what we were going to do. We could make her invisible to all but her shop customers; make her so in her own mirror she would be a stranger to herself. If that was what was needed then so be it. I just hoped I wouldn't fall for her, even though I already was.
