We met Morris Jensen, who handled the paperwork by running it through his computer while trying to interest us in financing our purchases. I finally s...id, “Mister Jensen, I appreciate the possibilities of financing but we will pay cash. The question is do you want a check, credit card, or have Community wire the funds?”He started. “We would need the funds wired to complete the transaction today.”“Fine,” I said. “I will call Jim Casper.” I pulled my phone out and called him from my list. “Good. I'll show you, you... you... you... laughing person."Suzy looked all flustered at that. I couldn't help it, I cracked up. Lucky for me the bell went off just then. I think she was ready to take a swing at me for laughing at her. I headed for the door as quick as I could.I came out of biology and turned the corner towards the gym. There, five feet in front of me was Butch. He looked glad to see me, but not in a happy-making way. Shit!There was no way I could stop. "Hi, Butch. How ya doing?" I. Just as I emptyout the last drops of water intomy flower garden, that's when I heard a dozen or so footsteps pelt the ground like rain. I turned aroundand saw a horde of smurfs coming after me, theywere holding flowers, boxof chocolates, and other gifts. Knowing I'm going to get trampled over, I drop the water can andran straight tomyhouse.Once inside, I slammed the door shut and barricaded it. I ran upstairs andtryto look for a place to hide, there wasn't anywhere for me to hide. "Smurfette!". Alone she would have no such difficulties.Pushing her awareness out into dark streets, she made certain that there was no immediate threat to the two people slumbering in the other room and then silently eased out the window and dropped to the ground far below. Striding to one of the neighboring houses, she broke several posts off from the white picket fence, adding to the damage she had done the night that she had asked Tom to kill he, but he had instead taken her in.She loped through the city.
