I want it in good condition. I wanted to see it is all, ok?" I asked, a bit pissed at her.She looked at me levelly."Paul, don't take that tone with me... What if I had your power? Would you be pissy with me if I had brought us out at my house? I was raised in that house from the time I was a little girl you know," she finished with that no nonsense tone she had gotten down so well."Sorry, Viv. I'm not trying to take anything out on you. I am just feeling unsettled right now. Every time I move. At present Amaranti has the strongest fleet among the Allies and I know for a fact they have absorbed and integrated the lessons from Home Space and Harbouria. There would be a bitter price to pay for Amaranti but the Chencon fleet could pay it. Whether they will or not depends upon the Junction." Can you defend Gorgipest?" Harwood persisted."Never in the face of a combined Chencon fleet; I doubt if I could even delay it, but I would have time as my reccy elements will tell me immediately in. ‘Christ, I’m tired.. a day of flying, then 14 hours on a bus. When’s breakfast? I’m starved.’ ‘Well, it’s a weekend.. So we have brunch at 11:30.’ ‘Oh, god, that’s three hours from now.’ He sighed, mumbling incoherently, and then laid so that his feet were propped up on my pillows and his head rested on the foot of my bed. ‘I think I’m going to take a nap… Come join me. There’s plenty of room if you sleep normally.’ I reluctantly joined him. ‘All right..’ I handed him a pillow, and laid down,. You have nothing to fear." I know I'm being irrational, but I hate storms. They terrify me."Holding his trembling aunt close, Benny turned and carried her to the bed. He gently laid her down, and then scooted in next to her. Karen immediately turned and wrapped her arms around Benny's neck.A crash of thunder brought out a whimper from the terrified woman.Benny slid his powerful arms around his aunt and drew her close. He held onto her trembling form as the thunder crashed outside.As the storm.
