I start to scroll through the messages, and I quickly give up. There is no way that I’m going to be able to go through all of those. It will take me forever. There wouldn’t be much point anyway because most of the conversation ended days ago.

Chapter Sixteen

Neith

Instead, I type out a message.

Me:Hey Guys, hope you’re all okay? There were nearly a thousand messages in here! You guys will have to catch me up when we meet.

Joey:Neith! Good goddess, you were fucking awesome!

Me:Thanks. I keep forgetting that everyone watched it, so they saw what we went through.

Neera:Yeah, that must have been really weird. I don’t think I would cope very well with being watched like that.

Me:I sort of just had to not think about it, but still remember that they were there, so I didn’t do something that I wouldn’t want most of the supernatural world to see.

Navy:Yeah, that makes sense. You didn’t, just because I know you’re going to be worrying about it. Everyone loves you. The last I heard, all of yoursign-up sheets for your classes are full, and you even have a waiting list. The guys have too.

Me:No way, that’s pretty crazy. And wait, I have sign-up sheets?

Joey:Haha, you didn’t do it? Well, that’s going to be fun for you to work out. I only wish that we were still doing classes so we could join in.

Me:Oh yeah! How did graduation go? Have you got teams yet?

Navy:It was good. Joey has, but I’m working alone for a while. People are uncomfortable around me.

Me:Assholes, the lot of them. Want me to stab them for you?

Neera:Sorry, guys, the cat was freaking out, and I had to save it from a mouse. Don’t ask. Also, Neith, I knew I liked you. Navy, I’m quite happy to join in on the stabbing, too.

Joey:I am shocked! You guys are psychos . . . I’m in.

Navy:Haha, thanks, guys. But I really am okay. I don’t mind working by myself. It means that I don’t have to explain shit all the time.

Me:Fair point. Let me know if anyone gives you any trouble that you can’t deal with. So, what else do you guys need to catch me up on?

Navy:Thanks, Neith. That means a lot. There’s not a lot else actually. We all got some new weapons from Luke, and got the VIP treatment thanks to Neera.

Me:Oh? Well, that sounds interesting.

Neera:He’s got a little crush on me. I’m so glad you’re okay, it looked like it got pretty fucking intense.

Me:You’ve got no idea. I’m not even sure whether I can talk to you guys about it or not.

Joey:That is not a little crush, sweetie. When do you guys want to meet up then?

Neera:He just thinks I’m hot.

Navy:This is pretty much all you’ve missed, Neith. I’m not sure if you can tell us, but there’s one way to find out.

Me:Yeah, good point. Well, we never got to get that drink. I think I’ve pretty much just got this week free, and then we’ll be back at work, and it will be harder to meet up.

Neera:I’m sorry, guys, but I’m busy until Sunday.

Joey:Me too.

Me:Sunday is good for me.
