Chapter 26
Just as the trooper drew the sergeant’s attention to me, Wendy materialized from the shadows ... well ... sort of ... she materialized all right ... from the ether.
I was pretty surprised.
She looked like she had stepped out from the gathering darkness ... but I knew better. Right then Annabelle followed her out and then the Feminine Powers slithered out too. Six and Four ... the male Powers were next. You have to understand ... the Powers are all very tall ... very tall. From Seven’s seven foot three inches all the way down to One; the midget at six foot eight. The girls could have stepped off the Pro Bball courts except ... they were FIT ... not skinny beanpoles ... Amazons. Not anyone a mugger would like to meet in an alley. Big, dangerous looking ... in a feminine way. Girls you’d like to take home to meet the parents one minute and the Chicago Bears the next.
“Well, Troop ... it looks like he was talking to them,” said the Sergeant.
There are times to speak out and there are times to acquiesce. The trooper KNEW that the fella hadn’t been talking to the obvious. There hadn’t been anyone in that little alcove ... he’d been there and examined it thoroughly; no doors, no widows and certainly not enough room to house that gaggle of heavyweights. The sergeant accepted the presence as evidence and there was enough trouble with half the MSU Spartans defense drunk and disorderly and the underage free safety suffering a broken arm.
