Dani leaned against her apartment door for several moments after she slammed it shut. She gulped down breath after breath as she tried to calm her stampeding heart.
She was on high alert the entire trip from the bar to her apartment. She watched for clouds of displaced alien souls to zoom over the heads of the people on the bus. She searched the streets for any sign of Ezra.
Fortunately for her, the journey back to her place was far less eventful that the time she spent downtown.
There was the increasingly familiar pressure in her skull. Something told her that her constant companion was going to be less than thrilled with the events that took place.
Her suspicions were confirmed by hiss that followed the thud of Bobo hitting the floor of the living room. He spun at her with glowing green eyes, choosing to take the shape of a feline instead of changing to his true form or the balloon figure he usually transformed into. He must have looked up a Sphinx cat like she told him to because he didn’t have a scrap of fur on him.
“That…boy…is bad news,” he chided Dani. “We must stay away from him.”
“I don’t know how I can do that,” Dani countered. She reached behind her back to fumble with the lock. Once it was secure, she lunged across the living room for her laptop. “I still have to go to work and he is always there. I’m going to bet he will stay far away from me, though. Tonight will make things awkward between us to say the least.”
“He did try to kill you.”
“Hence the awkwardness.” Dani flipped open the top and powered it on. She logged on past the home screen and clicked on a browser.
“What are you searching for?” Bobo queried.
