I had my splat gun in a thigh holster Keasley had given me - like I could really believe he was just a harmless old man now? - and a spindle of line energy in my head. We were almost to the basilica, and my pulse was quickening. Nervous, I squinted in the glare of the oncoming traffic. Besides, my foot still hurt, and heels would have me in agony. God! I'd be the laughingstock of the I.S. I didn't know which dress Ellasbeth had picked out, but I wasn't going to wear that ugly green thing. Okay, even I knew the boots didn't go with the dress, but I wasn't going to tag Trent in heels. Smirking, I glanced at my black butt-kicking boots showing past the hem of the delicate silk dress and wondered why.
It was crowded, but everyone was giving me loads of room. My shoulder bag sat beside me, and Jenks was swinging from a ceiling strap, the silver dust sifting from him making a bright spot on the otherwise dim bus. I eyed my red nails peeping past the long lace sleeve, thinking the black weave looked nice against my pale skin. It had happened somewhere between yesterday and today, and it ticked me off that it might have been the I.S. Then there was the little question of the ugly dent someone had put into my front fender, along with breaking the left turn light. and hauled in for driving with a suspended license.
