“It’s in the news?” I confirmed.
Chasity nodded, showing me a picture on her phone. It was the Jackson family, all smiles as they surrounded their father in hospital. Even the Dad was smiling faintly. The Mom looked stressed but she too had a small smile on her face. The next picture in the article was of the half-eaten convenience store sandwich which was, in fact, cheese paste.
“What a fucking loser,” growled Felix, in reference to Maurice. “He almost killed their Dad over that. It’s one thing to steal if you’re hungry but he clearly just steals for the thrill of it and why shoot someone and then eat in the parking lot like it’s no big deal. Such disrespect for a life he almost took.”
Felix was a big softie on the inside. I knew half the reason he was so harsh with pack criminals was because he was really protective of the families targeted. I looked at the Jackson children. The littlest one was only three if so much with large dark brown eyes and a mound of thick dark curly hair.
“This little dude almost lost his Dad,” I said. “I’m glad it worked out. Are we doing anything for them?” I asked Alex.
“I already arranged to have their hospital bills taken care of,” mumbled Alex, not taking his eyes off the road. “You think we should send a pack warrior to man the store in the meantime?”
“Yeah,” agreed Felix. “Send two.”
“Send three since we’re triplets,” I decided.
Felix snickered. Chasity liked the idea.
“That makes no sense but okay three it is,” said Felix.
“The power of three,” I said mystically.
I did a little interpretative dance meant to evoke the power of three. Chasity clapped and cheered for me.
“I’m in the backseat with these toddlers,” said Felix, complaining to Alex.
“Don’t pretend like you don’t wanna sit with me,” said Chasity.
Felix smiled and kissed her forehead.
“I feel bad for the family of course. They’re the real victims but I still wonder if Maurice had a hard life or something. Maybe that’s why he became a criminal,” said Chasity.
“You had a hard life,” admitted Alex, looking at Chasity in the rear-view mirror again. “Are you gonna start shooting hardworking Dads over sandwiches?”
“No, of course not,” said Chasity.
“Maurice had free food and room and board with Madame,” I said. “He had no real reason to steal. He would’ve had the money from successfully kidnapping you,” I said, looking at Goddess. “He could’ve just bought the same sandwich from the same store. He was a jerk, Chasity.”
“Chasity, you feel sorry for everyone,” complained Felix, pulling her closer to his side. “You have to stop that.”
“I don’t,” squeaked Chasity indignantly.
“You do,” I chuckled.
“When we watch nature shows, you feel sorry for the gazelles if they get caught by the lions and you feel sorry for the hungry lion cubs if their parents don’t catch anything for them to eat,” said Felix.
“Those shows upset me too,” I admitted.
I wanted the lion cubs to have food but not at the expense of the gazelles. I knew that made no sense whatsoever but that was how I felt. I just liked all the animals. Full stop. Period.
“I wish I could feed the lion cubs myself,” said Chasity.
“With what? Convenience store sandwiches?” Asked Felix, teasing her. “You definitely don’t want them eating meat.”
Chasity blushed and folded her arms. She scooted closer to me and I put my arms around her.
“Hey,” whined Felix.
“Felix, you’re so whiny. You need to be more mature like me,” I said.
Chasity giggled.
“YOU? Mature?!” Hissed Felix.
“We’re home,” announced Alex. “And we have a surprise for you, Luna.”
“I wouldn’t consider this a surprise,” muttered Felix, trying to pull Chasity closer to him but I wouldn’t let him.
My grip was iron-clad.
“Be careful with her,” said Alex authoritatively although we were handling her delicately.
“I’m fine, Alex,” said Chasity sweetly. “And I’m ready for my surprise!”
Alex grinned. I had to agree with Felix on this one. This wasn’t really a ‘surprise’ in my opinion either but it would help Chasity prepare to reign as Luna. I hoped she would like the idea.
“Okay, come with me,” said Alex theatrically as he opened the backseat door and offered his hand to Chasity.
