Page 3 of Bad Attitude
Bindi got the guy on the end and peppersprayed him.Now all her pepper spray was gone.Grant was havingtrouble with the three humans left.She grabbed a lamp and brainedanother guy.Then she started tying the other guys up as some ofthem looked to be getting better.Grant took out the last two andthey tied them up too.
She tied those last two up, but she waspretty shook up.“I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?You did great.”Grant observed.
“We came close tolosing.”
“They sent more guys thanthey have in months.I’ll load them up while you finish, .andwe’ll run them all to the office.”
“What about Rita?”Bindiasked.
“She knows about the crazyhate group.Tyne and Moe told her last week, but she can’t tellanyone.But you’re right, Naqi will want them.”
“It’s not good that theyhit so hard.Could they be about to start again?”
“I hope not, but we’ll knowsoon.”
“Since we’re done and theyare loaded, let’s get out of here.”Grant decided.
They got in the truck and headed home.“I’ve always wondered how they seem to know locations and whatteams are sent to them.”
“I always thought they justhacked the system.”
“Wouldn’t there be somesign of that?”Bindi asked.
“Maybe, but they aren’talways right.They’ve also waited for several days before we get tothat location.”
“What does it allmean?”
“That we’re probably goingto have to worry again and that we need a computer expert to see ifwe’ve been hacked.”Grant observed.
She and Grant spoke all the way homeand Bindi relaxed until finally she fell asleep.It seemed no timehad passed when he was telling her to wake up.“It seems like Ijust fell asleep.”
“You did.It’s been aboutthirty minutes.I drove straight to Naqi’s.”
She got out and followed him in.Bindichecked the time and they had made big money this trip.There hadbeen no looking for a house to rent for her since she wanted backto HQ.Her bonus agreement had almost run out of time.Alaska wasbeautiful, but she never had time to see it.So, she was still herewith Joey.
Bindi had offered her rent, but sherefused to take it.She bought her gifts because she didn’t knowwhat else to do.The move back would be easy since she didn’t havemuch here.It would get her away from Duroc too.She knew he’d madea deal with Tyne and would eventually go back, but this would giveher time to get over those feelings she’d developed forhim.
This made her sad but also relieved.Bindi didn’t know much about relationships.Yes, she’d had a fewbut the man had always run them, and they’d been purely sexual.Women have needs too and she’d tried to assuage her needs, but noneof her past lovers had been good.Maybe that sounded mean, butthey’d put no effort forth to please her and they hadn’t.That’swhy those relationships had ended.
A vibrator could do a better job so whykeep them around?More than that was needed out of a relationshipjust physical or not.She’d had good friends, even some that weremen.Getting physical seemed to ruin that, not just with her, butshe’d seen it happen in other couples.Tramp and Petie were therare exception.She felt like that was too big a risk to take withDuroc since she might have to work with him again, but she’d bethe’d be a better lover than those in her past had been.
“Naqi, we brought you agift.”Grant said as he led him to the truck where the enemies werestacked three high.
“I see someone’s beenacting up again.”
“These guys attacked Bindiand me.”
“Are you some kind of superwarrior?”Naqi asked.
“No, Bindi took most ofthese guys out.I got less than half.”
“How?”
“She had a stun gun andpepper spray.”Grant explained.
“And I wasn’t afraid to useit.I need to stock up on my pepper spray and charge my stun gun.”Bindi explained.She had followed them to the truck.
