Chapter 11
Bill woke up while they were gone, wandered around the house, checked the time on his Timex and started a pot of coffee.
The world was out of whack ... or maybe He was out of whack. Something wasn't right ... and it showed ... felt ... something. The woods felt quiet, like there was something slipping in...
He noticed he was talking out loud. "Jesus ... spooked myself. I wonder if I can get my job back? I liked working for the Marshals. The pay was decent, and the hours were good. Maybe I can get back on."
When the ladies popped back into the room, Bill was sitting in front of the TV sipping coffee ... he'd hooked up the computer to the flat screen and was watching the procedures DVD's. E'veen sat down next to him and, pretty soon, she was taking notes and just as into the protocol as he was.
Violet sighed, the one thing she hated about shamanism was the lack of friends. She was seldom in one place long enough to trust someone.
"I'm sorry Violet," confessed E'veen. "I can see Bill is going to try to get his old job back and my headaches have gone away."
"No, E'veen," said Violet, "it's my fault. I'll be back. I'm off to see Mina. She'll be interested in developments here.
"As far as time goes, you two have been only gone a couple of months. According to the rules and regulations you should be able to get back on."
She looked at her wrist, spoke where she wanted to go, "Auburn, Alabama, Mina's house. Thank you. It always pays to be polite to the watch ... it's an extension of the Powers that Be." She grinned, and said,"POOF!" She did ... poof. A little puff of smoke and a wicked little laugh and Violet was gone.
In the vacuum of her passing they heard, "hi Mina."
"Care for a walk in the moonlight before a wild ride in the hay?" E'veen asked.
"Sure," said Bill. "Let's check out the lake and make a run up to the cabin."
Not only did the land come with a 3 bedroom, three bath, huge kitchen, two car garage,16 acre lake and hardwoods, it also came with a two bedroom dovetail log cabin. The cabin was on the highest hill on the property.
Bill made Marx eyes at E'veen, "there's a bear skin rug up there with your name on it."
"Ooo," shivered E'veen, "fur on my ass ... I'm all for it."
She was halfway to the dock before she shouted, "race you!"
Bill was running behind her. He ran faster ... she was shedding clothes as fast as she could. Shiny butt cheeks in the moonlight. Straight off the dock and into 80 degree water.
