"Relax Scout, you are recovering from a cryogenic sleep, parts of your body needs to thaw out a little more, just rest and relax." The voice came from...a shape that looked down on him.As Jones squinted he could make out a grey coloured shape and then darkness overcame him.His dreams were strange, as if his body was being taught things that he hadn't been prepared for before, he was learning a language that he hadn't heard before and fighting skills that went beyond the normal 'boot camp'. Joe must have messaged Kat, because Gyges and Athena were both at the ranch waiting when we returned. Fortunately, we hadn’t made it much more than a kilometre up into the hills, so not that far to walk.They asked for a refund and when Joe pointed out there would be no refund; they threatened to sue him. Kat had the waivers they had signed ready and had even circled the part about respecting the animals and ranch employees. The wife then pointed out that even they called them animals, and Joe. I interrupted. "shut the fuck up. That's my mouth" fixing an angry finger at it, "I say when you work it. I don't have time for the pathetic little speech you memorized last night between jacking off to the image of me owning your mouth and crying yourself to sleep in shame because it turned you on. I don't give a fuck how you feel about it. Shut up and turn around."Boy I must have really hit that nail on the head because he audibly gasped at the 'jacking off' bit and gave me this look like 'oh. The problem is that what it means is that I’m the one bringing home the bacon and watching every God damned penny to make sure our bills are paid on time.But every time I turn around, Bobby is signing me up to pay for every needless expense and whim that anybody in our immediate or extended circle comes up with.In this case, I really, really want to say, not only, “NO!” but an emphatic, “FUCK NO!” This is just a waste of money. Heather is the salt of the earth and she loves her brother, and he.
