The Birds
installment 6

Sparrow stripped out of her pajamas and took a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt out of her dresser. She wiggled into the jeans first, then went to her closet to find a belt. When she was clipping her bra closed, her cell phone buzzed on the night stand. She answered it before putting her shirt on.

"Sparrow, one of them's in my house!" Rat hissed on the other line.

"One of whats?" Sparrow balanced the phone between her ear and shoulder so she could pick up her shirt.

"The hunters! He must have followed me here last night! He broke in!" Rat whined.

"What d'you mean, 'followed you last night'?" She paused unfolding her t-shirt.

"I went to Randy's motel," Rat gulped, "He said there were a bunch staying there. I was just trying to screw with them, make it harder to investigate…" His voice was trailing into hysterics, and in the background Sparrow could hear crashing and banging.

"You idiot!" she snarled, taking the phone away from her mouth just long enough to finish dressing. "Change, hide somewhere. I'll deal with it."

"Sparrow?" Rat asked weakly.

"What?" She yanked her shoes on without untying them.

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I know you are. Just get your ass hidden and don't come out 'till I get there." She shut her cell and stuffed it in her back pocket, grabbed her leather jacket off the hanger by the bedroom door, and checked the inside pocket to make sure her gun was still there. On her way out of the house, she grabbed the knife that was secured under the hall table and strapped it to her thigh.

"Haaron," she shouted. "I'm going to Rat's. Be back later!"

Haaron wasn't so deep into the house that yelling was necessary. He was in the kitchen, just off the entry hall, and watched his sister arm herself. From the window, he saw her speed down the driveway on her motorcycle, which she only drove when she was in a frantic hurry. He picked up the keys to the jeep before heading out the garage door.
