Hothar's Folly
Page 17
“And how did Uncle Saul react?”
“Let’s just say our calm and in-control uncle totally wigged out.”
Kaylee’s eyes widened. “Full on predator?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“I feel sorry for her.”
“Don’t. Annie can take care of herself.”
“I’ll say.” Kaylee pointed.
I looked out the windshield and my jaw literally dropped. Uncle Saul stood in the middle of the road. It looked like he had gone ten rounds with Godzilla and lost. His battle suit was covered in mud, red welts decorated his face and hands. His usually perfectly groomed hair stood up in wild spikes.
Talree stopped the Humvee. “The General’s prey has teeth.”
“I’ll say.” I rolled the window down and called, “You tangle with a grizzly?”
Uncle Saul opened the door and slid in. “No, Annie.”
“Come to get reinforcements?” Kaylee’s Debbie Sunshine smile was absolute perfection. “Talree would be happy to help you capture her.”
“Not funny and I don’t need help.”
“Kinda looks like you do. Don’t you agree Casey?”
“Yep.”
Uncle Saul growled deep in his chest.
Talree snarled, “Do not growl at my mate.”
“Where sword?” Thor patted Uncle Saul’s leg.
Haki peered at him. “Why arm funny?”
The kids had some good questions. “Is your arm broken and didn’t you have a shuttle?”
“It is, and I did.”
Holy hell. I clamped a hand over my mouth to keep from laughing.
Hothar eyed Uncle Saul in disbelief. “You allowed the female to disarm you?”
“I didn’t allow anything,” Uncle Saul roared. “I walked into a fucking trap. Happy now?”
“You will not curse around the children,” Talree interjected.
“I apologize,” Uncle Saul slumped against the seat.
I examined his face. “Are those bee stings? And where’s your healing wand?”
“They are and I’m not answering any more questions.” Uncle Saul closed his eyes.
“Can’t wait to meet this Annie,” Kaylee murmured.
I grinned. Uncle Saul’s life was about to get challenging.
The end has come! But wait! Sassing Saul is coming soon!
