I quickly sent out a bubble of silence that would keep anybody nearby from getting curious. As he pushed off of my car, I began to move to circle arou...nd him, adjusting my hold on the Mountain Dew bottles in my hand. I had a weapon I could use, one of the surprises I kept in my duster, a wakizashi short sword held in an extra-dimensional pocket of my duster, but I wanted to see what the fanger had in store for me. I kept circling to my left, the vampire turning to watch me with a smile on his. I’d give each captain an even hundred conchs for their ship. Once we were done with our invasion, I’d sell the ships back to them, but the price would be higher by the value of all the work we had done to make them better ships. High-handed, I know, but we needed the ships and we needed them able to keep up with the fleet.Without any more argument I had some of our soldiers come and empty out each ship. While they were doing that, I had some of our sailors lower their yards and start working on. It did not take much time after Divya and I moved in together into the apartment our uncles found for us, to realize that she is a bigger slut than I was. She used to disappear for one or two nights every week and when I asked her where she went, she used to tell me that she was helping out our uncles. I thought they were taking her to parties and clubs to have fun. But it also used to make me sad that they did not take me out for nights as frequently as Divya. And also the fact that Divya did. She went to shower, while I got Ken out of bed, and installed on the sofa.Barbara said, “what ... what’s happening?”I told her, “Christie has joined us, her name is Martha, I think she was in a car accident, I offered her a place on your bed. I’ll sleep on the other sofa.”Martha came up behind me, and said, “no ways, you’ve been more than enough help to me tonight, if you two were together, I’m not going to ... well, we’ll see where we go from here.”Barbara moved over and told me to get between.
