your ass off.”
    She shook her head. “I just didn’t
want to be missing in action on my
first day of the job.”
    I shook my head as wel
l. “I like
your drive, but there’s no need to be
out today.”
    We walked into the cafeteria and
grabbed some soup, crackers and
some coffee.
    Milissa came sat at the table with
us. “My lord, how can you drink
coffee at this hour?”
I looked over. “It’s the only hot
drink that we have.”
    She put her hand on her hip. “I
could have made some hot
chocolate.”
I looked at Daltin. “I’m sure he’d
love some.”
     
Shianne joined in. “Me too,
please.”
    We talked amongst each other until
the dinner crowd started pouring in
and made our way to the school.
Tiffany and Robin knocked on my
door.
     
I walked over and opened it.
“What’s up?”
     
They both had a shit eating grin on
their face. “Want some company?”
I started laughing. “What, Bo isn’t
company enough?”
    They looked at each other. “Well,
he’s keeping Lisa company right
now.”
I started laughing. “Oh, well I
guess so, come on in.”
    They walked in and sat on one of
the cots. I had some more coffee
going. I took it off and poured a cup.
“Y’all want some?”
Robin raised his hand. “I’ll take a
cup.”
     
Tiffany shook her head no.
    I poured a second cup. “You know,
we’re not in school, you don’t have to
raise your hand.”
He started looking around and
smiled.
    I caught onto the joke. “Okay
, so
we are in school, but we don’t have a
teacher that’s going to walk by and
smack your hand with a ruler or
anything.”
    Kris smiled. “I might.”
I looked at Tiffany. “You were
asking about a job the other day.
Well, I’d like to put you as a floater
between our teams as a medic.”
She nodded. “Sounds good.”
Robin took a sip of his coffee.
“What about me?”
    I looked over at him. “I’m going to
try you out on our team, but the first
time you freeze up, I’ll have to pull
you for your own safety.”
He took another sip. “I
     
understand.”
    We talked for about an hour before
I walked them out so I could get some
sleep. “Surely Bo and Lisa are done
keeping each other company by now.”

CHAPTER ELEVEN
    AS SOON as I woke up the next
morning I walked out of the room to
see Bo walking out of his room too.
I closed the door behind me. “Long
night, brother?”
    He started walking down the hall
towards me. “Not really…why do you
ask?”
I started laughing. “I hear you were
keeping Lisa company last night.”
He gave me a scoured look. “We
just talked.”
    I started walking with him to go
outside. “Is that what the kids are
calling it these days?”
    He pushed the door open. “I found
out that she came from about an hour
from my old stomping grounds.
Found out she’s a metal head too.”
    I walked out behind him. “That’s
good. She’s a pretty cool chick for
sure. She’s definitely one of those,
don’t take shit from anyone, type of
girls.”
He laughed. “So is Kris.”
    I agreed. “That’s
why I married
her. I don’t think any normal chick
that carries their feelings around on
their sleeve could have handled me."
He shook his head. “I can’t think of
anyone that would argue that.”
     
Howard and Gizmo walked up after
being out at the tower.
     
Gizmo seemed anxious. “What’s
the plan for today?”
    I stared him down trying to figure
out his excitement. “Crunching
around in the snow, I guess.”
He sped up and walked in front of
me. “How about we start that pond?”
    I looked over at Howard that had
apparently been encouraging him.
“Bro, look around…we’re standing in
about six inches of snow. I’m sure we
can do it when it starts heating back
up a bit.”
    Howard joined in. “At least when
the snow melts, it can help fill the
pond up.”
    I started laughing. “So you’re
just
going to dig a hole and expect it to
hold water?”
    “I was actually thinking we could
make
