Chapter 38

"Hi MockingJay" Lena turned to me, I did an I'm okay sign with my hand.

"Come here right now" he growled into the phone.

"Your ego can't carry the words 'I need your HELP " I placed the emphasis on the last word.

"Chris will pick you up, he's already on his way" his voice sounded hard and angry.

He ended the call and I felt myself shake in silent laughter.

"What's amusing?" James asked me looking at my phone.

"A certain ice block"

"What about him?" Troy asked sullenly.

A black car stopped beside the road and horned.

Troy growled annoyed.

"Lena, I'm heading out for a bit" I turned to see Lena pulling on Carlos ears, he smiled goofily instead of protesting.

"Where?"

"Early customers" I told her and she immediately understood.

"Will you be back today?"

"Depends and please go easy on Arlo's ears, I'm starting to pity them already"

"Where to?"
