<span class="mu-r">“Careful there, buddy! Almost took my arm off there. What do you bench? 500?”</span>
Peter chuckled and casually bumped fists with Flint as he approached him. But almost all of his attention was on the girl that had just come in behind you.
Cindy flew past you, swooped down on your nephew, snatched him up like a bird of prey and threw him over her shoulder. She then proceeded to twirl him around as she spun in circles, making helicopter noises all the while. Peter’s uncontrollable laughter was enough to draw the attention of everyone else in the house, so your siblings were the next ones to enter the living room.
<span class="mu-b">“Is there a party that I wasn’t invited to?”</span> Rich asked.
<span class="mu-r">“I thought you’d be used to that by now.”</span> you said, crossing the room and giving your brother a quick hug.
Rich gave you a good natured smile. He was no stranger to being a victim of the occasional barb. <span class="mu-b">“Oh, but it hurts differently each time.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Would it kill you guys to call beforehand? Or at least knock?”</span> Vic said, struggling to keep a smile off of her face upon seeing the kids goofing around.
You shrugged. <span class="mu-r">“You’re the one that gave me a key. Who else would it be?”</span>
Your sister gave you an incredulous look. <span class="mu-g">“I was <span class="mu-i">literally</span> a victim of home invasion!”</span>
You and your brother hissed in sympathy. <span class="mu-r">“Oh,</span> <span class="mu-b">right.”</span>
Vic nodded, feeling justified in her frustration. <span class="mu-g">“Yeah. I should put up a sign.”</span>
Rich shot her a sly grin. <span class="mu-b">“Would it say ‘Please knock before you break into my home?’”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“You’d better put one out back too. Just to be safe.”</span> Flint added.
Vic snorted. “Guess I should go ahead and cancel my insurance plan, then. With coverage that solid, my defenses are airtight.”
Good. You and the boys have successfully broken the ice. How do you plan to proceed from here?
>Let Flint take the lead. You’re also curious as to how he plans to squeeze the information out of her.>Pull Richard aside and ask him in private.>Sit on the couch with Cindy and Pete. The little guy notices more than he lets on. Maybe he knows what’s going on.>Just ask her directly when you have a moment alone. She knows that she can count on you in a pinch.>Warn her and Rch about the Chameleon. They should know that he might try something in the near future.>Write-in.Pastebins:
