Hides-in-Lighting
In the dark womb of his RV Hides compiled the searches he'd done on both the new employees and the paperwork he'd done on them, and in the case of David, for them and faxed them to Rana.
Although her trailer was only 40 feet from where he was and the day was dark and deary and the lot empty...it hurt his malformed feet to walk those 40 feet, and beyond the clouds the sun shone...what if a sunbeam should come though at just the wrong moment and burn his skin or eyes? Not to mention if Rana didn't know he was coming then Rana would have her office lights on.
He rubbed his nose ridge with a crooked forefinger. Being born without hair had been...ok. The feet, one could learn to live with. The lack of a normal nose, well, again...one could do without. But being an albino? That part sucked the most. White skin, pink eyes, the scaly dryness....It drove him mad sometimes.
The speaker overhead clicked on. "Dude, I'm headed your way." Clix's voice whispered. Hides sighed and hit the button for the air vents. Clix on a good day was flea factory, but wet?
A tap on the door and Clix popped in. He was six two and 180 lbs, 60 of which was his loaded Army jacket. Some of the pocket's bulged so much that they didn't even close all the way. Hides had a feeling that if someone should search those pockets they'd find old food and mechancal parts intermixed.
"So, I saw some new guys, wadda got?" Clix looked around for a place to sit, but there wasn't any, so he squatted on the floor.
"We have a kinfolk, looking for lost garou brother, I'm running some searchs for him along the Glasswalker, but he changed like ten years ago...." Hides scanned some screens. "Do I'm not coming up with anything."
"Yah, yah." Clix nodded, stuck a hand in a pocket and pulled out a half eaten candy bar and started eating it without even looking what it was. "Why not any girl kin folk, huh? We need some babes around here."
Hides ignored him. "And we have a pre-change ex army. War hero, even. He must have some willpower not to change when he was a POW."
"OR, he was too weak to change." Clix said. "I was sick and like, hadn't eaten in a week or two, coz I couldn't walk, and these guys jumped all over my sorry ass. Dude, I would have changed then, but I was so sick, I couldn't get pissed off enough to flip them off!"
Hides nodded. "So, is that all you needed or...."
"Oh, oh yah. Um...I need 8 grand for a present for Rana."
"Excuse me?" Hides would have raised his eyebrows if he had any, but instead his white skin just furrowed above his pink eyes.
"Rana wants to go pick up cubs and stuff, right? Well, I saw this Minnie Winnie, small one, just perfect for running around picking up the little ones. It's got a little shower for the gore, and a little bed to lay down on, and a little fridge for some beer if they need one...I know I did!" Clix patted his pockets and Hides wouldn't have been surprized if he had pulled a beer out of one. But he didn't. "It's called a Dolphin, it'll blend right in. So, can I go get it?"
"Sure, Clix. Sounds like a plan." A few buttons pushed and a check printed out from one of his privite accounts. A small price to pay for clean air. As soon as Clix left Hides sprtz the RV with Mountain Fresh air cleaner.
