The blade was a shimmery silver, with runes that seemed to waver and change even as I looked at them!I was taken with one rune in particular and went ...loser to get a better look. Something in the back of my mind was warning me. I could hear Pao telling me to stop, but I still walked slowly to the sword.I leaned down to look at this fascinating rune, but it went out of focus. I knew if I picked up the sword, I could get a good look at this rune. I could hear Pao now yammering warnings but I was. I chuckled, we were both panting. Wed better get this chlorine off, I said. Scout could only nod. She looked a little dazed. I held her hand as we walked inside to the showers. I had to keep her from falling as she stumbled side to side. By the time we got to the shower though, she had recovered. We got in the shower, and rinsed all the chlorine off our bodies. We dried off, and went to my bedroom to change. Scout began to take off her bikini, but I said Stop. I picked her up and laid her on. "Who are you?" Debra Oakman," I said as two uniformed police officer's walked up to us."Arrest that woman," the man said, pointing at me. "She assaulted me. Isn't that right, Marlene?"Marlene snorted. "Yeah, right," she said sarcastically.The ambulance arrived, its siren dying with a forlorn sound as it entered the parking lot."I called 911," I said as I pulled one of the police officers a few steps away so I could speak privately with him. I told him my name, and what I saw, as well as what I. "We left with Mitch and Dora in front and the two of us together in back.Behind us in the distance, I noticed a medium blue car following us. I thought I recognized it from church following us to Louis' but I wasn't sure. My arm was around Britt and we listened to Dora talk excitedly about Friday night. She said, "I've never talked the sun up. We wound up sleeping all day. The Chinese restaurant was more breakfast than supper."We were going on the road to our private place. I looked at Britt's.
