Re: Convenience Stop
Moxie gives and excited and happy sounding bark when Cat praises him, his tail wagging and belying the puppy’s attempts to look fearsome. He keeps growling at the unseen person behind the car a little longer until, finally, Cat sees a very nervous looking young woman stand up.
“Um… please don’t try to kill me,” she says, holding up both her hands in a gesture of surrender. “I thought you might have been… I just didn’t know who you were. Everybody has started disappearing.”
Moxie looks at the other girl and them back at Cat with an inquisitive growl. The surrendering girl is a skinny rail of a girl, when she stands up Cat can see that the other woman is quite tall with long straight black hair that she wears pulled back into a pony tail. She’s wearing a hooded sweater, cargo shorts and sneakers that only make her look even more awkward by displaying her pale, gangly legs. Her wide brown eyes nervously glance at Cat’s brass knuckles, “I’m not going to do anything, I promise, okay?”
