The Accident
Copyright© 2016 by Old Man with a Pen
Chapter 7
The first thing Val said, “Who the hel are you?”
“Holly Homemaker ... ex damsel in distress. Who are you?” said Holly.
Val Hero Caretaker,” Val said. “Where is Hero David ... and get that stinking pile of trash outta here!”
“That’s him.” Holly indicated the pile.
“Good Lord! David? Is that you?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“You stink.”
“He does, doesn’t he.” Not a question ... a simple statement of fact.
“I don’t smell any worse than I did when I left.” I looked Val in the eye. Then I thought of the accident in the bank. “Maybe a little.”
Holly was standing next to Val ... and ... for the life of me ... I couldn’t choose. I had a feeling that rescue work was going to be hard.
Val said, “Normally, Holly would get the Healing Tank first ... but...” She indicated ... with a wave of her hand.
I can take a hint as well as the next man, I walked through the door...
And the healing tank said, “Strip ... you’re not getting in me with those clothes. The door on the right ... and take a shower!”
I left the leathers in a pile and stepped in the shower.
AAH! ... Hot! Hot! Hot! ... Lovely! I settled in for a good soak.
