"I sighed. "This is my job, Carlotta. I'm not going to let that piece ofcrap chase me away from a place that is mine." There was a rush of angerin my ...one as the feelings bottled inside me tried to break free.She sighed. "Yes. I agree. However, for tonight, maybe tomorrow as well,you need to be away. Come," she held out her hand. "We will take youhome."I let her pull me up to my feet. Using my free hand, I held the two halvesof my shirt closed. I looked from her to the mess around the trailer.. "Now see I even placed two chairs at the vanity so you each have one.Now go set down and let me see what I can do with your hair. Your hairis long enough now I'll get you appointments at the salon and see ifthey can straighten it up for the summer."Both children sat as instructed and thus began the blow-drying, curlingiron and brushing.

I was one stiff fellow by the time that I was able to find the right exit (or rather entrance in this case) and follow it.“Here we are and no wreckage to block us ... yet.

We’re heading for. .. well, there’s only a few that he has that he COULD pass on, PK, Doppelganger and Multi-Me.”Now I scrunched my eyebrows, “Multi-Me?”He chuckled, “Here, let me demonstrate.”Suddenly there were 5 identical Zeuses! “Point me out, if you can!?” He said.I pointed at where he’d been standing. That one disappeared. “Nope, try again.”It looked like a ‘shell game’, so I pointed at the one where I’d heard his voice.That one disappeared, “Nope ... try again.”There were only 3 left, but they were all.
