He did. The cop cleared me, took me home, talked to Greg’s mom since she was my guardian while Boston was in college, and I got to sleep off the whole day…

“Hey, twerp, wake the hell up.” I heard a gruff voice and a strong hand shake me shoulder as I lay face-down in my bed.

“No…” I hate waking up, so I added a few adjectives after “no”.

I was flipped over on the bed to face a stern-faced Chris.

“Aww, c’mon.” I whined. “I didn’t even do anything this time!”

“Get up, or I’ll kick yer ass outta bed.” He said, walking up.

I sighed, and got out of bed in just my pajama bottoms and a knit ski-hat that I wear out of habit so my hair isn’t all messed up when I wake up.

“Nice job, ya saved our hides.” Chris said as we sat down.

“Yeah, I did.” I said, still pissed that I got dragged out of bed.

I got a good slap cross the back of my head by Chris for my comment. “Ya saved our hides, but no more heroics, okay?” He said.

“Sure, can I go back to bed?” I asked.

“Do whatever you want to do.” Chris smiled.

    I liked the unmentioned swears added after the ‘no’. Not quite sure I get why Chris got him, other than to pester him cause he can. But still an endearing interaction between the two, in a tough guy sort of way, of course.

    Sequel finally done, and guess what. I actually like it! Couldn’t resist the little set-up you left (intentionally or not) at the end of this one…just seemed to fit the character. Hope the interminable waits aren’t getting to ya’ too much.

    Great. Sounds like Chris has a soft spot.
