Chapter 15
Blizzaris was as its name intended. Cold.
Stork stayed on the Condor, something about the freezing conditions would be his doom, always the optimist Stork (note the sarcasm)
Blinx was wrapped up as snugly as she could be.
Finn and Junko had gone off somewhere, Piper was hanging out with Suzi-Lu the resident Sky Knight and some of the other girls while Aerrow and Blinx were currently on the search for Digger. Suzi had told them that he was hanging with the rest of the squad, meaning he could be anywhere and according to Aerrow there were some places where she couldn't go, just because she was a girl. 'I reckon Digger would have a laugh, he knows I'm no lady!'
She was jumping on the spot while Aerrow was off checking somewhere when the radio buzzed "Come in Aerrow! Aerrow are you there?"it scared her half to death that she dropped it in the snow and almost didn't want to pick it up for fear of frost bite.
"Piper, it's Blinx. Aerrow's off checking one of the boys sites at the moment. Left me standing here like a numpty he did! Can I take a message?"
'I feel like some sort of answering machine'
"So you're still out looking for the boys?" Blinx made a face at the device in her hand 'I thought that much was obvious' but she answered Piper with a simple "Yeah. What's the problem?"
"Oh no problem" Piper replied offhandedly "It's just they turned up fifteen minutes ago saying they hadn't seen you yet"
'That'd be right' Blinx felt her eye twitch in annoyance and she contemplated throwing the communicator back into the snow...as far as she could peg it. "Alright then. Don't let them go anywhere! I'm not gonna half freeze again just because they wanted to go out for a spin! When Aerrow get back we'll make our way to you" there was no reply for a moment then a male accented voice spoke "Where abouts are you eh? We'll come pick you guys up" she made another face "How the hell am I supposed to know where I am! This is my first time being here!" again there was a pause before an answer "Are there any distinctive features or landmarks around you that could help pin point your location?"
'I don't like to say idiotic BUT!'
"Uh snow. Uh snow and uh yeah more snow!" she unintentionally screamed her last few words. Laughter bubbled through the speaker "Someone's touchy!"
"OF COURSE I'M TOUCY I'M FREEZING!"
"Blinx why are you screaming at the communicator?" Aerrows vivid hair was obvious against the glowing expanse that played as his backdrop. She lobbed the communicator to him and zoned out as a new conversation took place.
Two minutes later Aerrow was clicking his fingers in her face, snapping her out of her trance. "They're coming to pick us up. They should be here in about five minutes or so"
'So that means more jumping for me'
"Maybe when were done with the questions you should go back to the Condor. You look like you need to get warm"
'Well I didn't exactly pack properly now did I?!' She gave him a look that went with her sarcastic thought.
Three minutes later the roaring of engines gained their attention as three decked out snow mobiles flew over a snowy mound, flew being the operative word! One slid to a stop at her side, giving her a good look at the driver 'Digger?!' he gave a mock bow from where he sat "Your carriage awaits" she gave him a scrutinizing look "Am I allowed on that thing?" he returned her look "Just this once" she made a noise in her throat and shrugged, then clambered on behind him placing her arms about his waist and gripping tight. He smirked "Holding tight enough eh?"
"Let's just say, if I die, I'm coming back to haunt you!" he laughed and she leaned her head on his back as they took off.
She gave a light squeeze 'It's good to see you Digger. I missed you'
