“W-Wyatt?” Baldy exclaimed. He got up and ran over to Wyatt. “Are you o-okay? You look like complete sh-sh-sh-.”
“Shit, yes, Baldy, I do, and I feel it.”
Baldy guided Wyatt over to the fire, a huge grin on his face. “B-boy it's real g-good to see you. I've b-been worried.”
Wyatt plopped down next to the fire, getting as close to its warmth as he dared. “Worried? Why? Last time I saw you we were making our rounds.” That seemed like a lifetime ago, instead of a single day.
Baldy looked at Wyatt like he was nuts. He raised his arms and said, “The world has g-gone crazy, Wyatt. E-everyone's freaking out ab-about the power. I thought something might have h-happened to you and Ethan.”
Wyatt frowned. “Oh, that. Nothing to worry about.” He didn't want to talk about Ethan right that very moment. “Hey, you got a knife or some scissors?”
Baldy blinked in confusion then pulled out a huge butcher knife from a side pocket. “L-like this?”
Ethan's worries about Baldy being a mass murderer played through Wyatt's mind. “Uh, yeah. Mind cutting these damned restraints off my arms for me?”
Baldy lit up like a child on christmas morning. “S-sure, lemme get 'em for you.”
As Baldy sawed at the restraints, Wyatt tried not to let himself get too worried. He doubted Baldy was a mass murderer. Or, at least for the next few moments he wasn't.
There was an audible snip from behind Wyatt and suddenly his hands were free. “Oh, thank God!” Wyatt said as he rubbed at his arms. They were cold and numb.
Baldy moved to the fire, smiling like a fool. “Want some c-coffee. Just made it.”
“Hell, yeah!” Wyatt said as he examined the wounds on his wrists. The restraints had really cut into him, but not deep enough to slice his wrists. Still, he'd need to have these looked at.
Baldy handed him a tin cup full of piping hot coffee. Wyatt sipped at it eagerly.
“Baldy, this is the best coffee I've ever had. Thank you.”
“R-really?”
“Yup,” Wyatt said drinking. Soon his gaze sank into the fire.
After a time, Baldy started to get worried. “Are you okay, W-Wyatt? Your f-face looks kinda f-funny.”
That syrupy feeling had arrived again and washed over Wyatt like a slow tsunami. “Yeah, I'm fine. Just fine.”
After a few moments, Baldy asked. “Whatcha th-thinking about?”
“Oh, my new job. I figured it out now. What it is.”
“Yeah? Wh-what's your job?”
When Wyatt looked to Baldy, Baldy couldn't be certain the face he saw was Wyatt's at all.
“My job?” Wyatt said, his voice hollow and distant. “My new job is to save the world.”
