He wiggled his perfectly trimmed brows, signaling that he knew something I didn't.

"Soo..." he said, as he plopped down on my bed."Wacha, ya take home last night?"

My brows furred not fully comprehending what he meant. Then he rolled himself off of the bed, ducked underneath it and retrieved the satchel I brought to the party the night before. He swung it before me like pendulum compelling me to remember the wild night that just happened.

"Now you remember," he said smiling, "I saw you take some kind of book as we raised hell from its depths. You should have seen your face. It was like watching a movie scene, wind blowing, and your potato colored eyes gazing at it with such intensity... Damn, you're awakening the Shakespeare in me."

I laughed. "I do remember. I found it at the shack, it was on this box that was somehow under a pile of ancient

I shouldn't have been surprised when a hand suddenly shot out in front of my face and smacked me upside the head. It was so unexpected that I nearly stumbled out from behind the rubble and right into the bullet whizzing by.…
