Chapter 12

Jesus, was it hot in here? Oh, yeah. It actually was.

“Did you fucking plug it in yet?” Gina was storming back into the house. “Dammit—Rico! It isn’t plugged, that’s all, quit your whining.” And then she was storming back out.

“Hi, Gina,” Natia called after her and received a faint grunt in reply. Natia didn’t seem perturbed. “I’ll pay them in ice cream bars for their efforts. They should calm down after that.”

“About which, I have to ask. What—um, what exactly are they doing?”

Natia’s smile could almost be called a smirk, if the woman had a single ounce of haughtiness in her body. “Come outside and you’ll see.” She grabbed a few extra water bottles and led Simone out to the porch.
