(21) Missing Quite

"It's so good to have you back!" Pryla squealed as she squeezed me tightly. "You've been gone for a while!"

"Yeah..." I chuckled, hugging her back.

"Mrs. Dimuno even started asking about you!" She pulled away with a wondering look on her face, "She mentioned something about becoming like you brother..."

"Elliot?"

She scoffed, "The other one."

"Ohhh... Charlie."

"Mm-hm." She nodded as she raised both of my arms up, she asked. "Where have you been?"

"Somewhere," I was spun by her. "Uh Pry?"

"Yeah?"

"What exactly are you doing?" I asked since I probably looked bad. I mean, I am spinning around with both of my arms above me.

"Inspecting."

"Inspecting for what?"

"Stab wounds. Scars. Bullet holes."

"Wha-?!" I frowned at her as I put my hands down. "Why would I have those in my body?!"

She sighed, huffing out a gush of air from her mouth. "I'm thinking that you might be dead." She shrugged her shoulders, "Or was in a coma because you weren't answering my calls!"
