Hi, Bernie, she greeted as she brazenly opened the door. Come on in. She was more than pleased with the expres- sion in his eyes as he stared at her... deliciously- exposed body. Is Paul h-h-home? he stammered, step- ping into the room. Im sorry, said Alice, brushing her long, blonde hair back from her face. He drove over to Midvale and wont be back until late this afternoon, but how about joining me for a cup of coffee? I s-s-suppose so, he nervously stam- mered, unable to understand Alices. He got up for a second to let out a few shots with his Colt AR-15, but quickly had to duck back down to avoid the incoming hail of bullets. Hoan was trapped! Then, he heard the sound of hoof beats. Rich and the group came riding in on horses, mostly from Hershels farm. Hershel was there as well. He had used a fake head to fool the governor during the attack on the prison. Daryl came in riding a horse named Buttons, who had never been killed at all! They were well armed, thanks to Merles run to. It was weak, but it was there. Then and only then, did I breathe a sigh of relief, and look up to Lela, who was now looking at the nude form of Derek. She was hidden in the shadows, and I could barely make her out. I wondered what Derek must have been thinking as the pink alien confronted him."Can you heal her?" I asked Lela.I saw Lela's hands move before her for a moment, and the light shifted to cover me and Gina. I watched, still slightly amazed at what this light could do, as Gina's bruises. She waited until eleven thirty-five, not wanting anyone to observe both of them going into Rhonda's office and then not coming out again. She felt like a spy, looking around, her heart beating frantically, hoping nobody saw her. She rapped softly on the door with two knuckles.Yvette opened it, and Laura swooped inside. Yvette closed the door and locked it. The office was dark."My heart is beating so fast," Laura confessed."Mine too," Yvette smiled."But mostly because I'm scared." Me too. Isn't.
