Interlude
I love this feeling. Blitz left a message on my G-phone that I got the night off. It�s the first night off I�d had in what felt like ages. Honestly it feels like a couple of months since I meet Lyrssa, but it�s only been a couple of days. She�s got a boyfriend. I really shouldn�t be thinking about her this much. It�s wrong. And I really don�t need the added stress.
The wind whips against my face. I don�t have to worry about anything at the moment, it�s only me and my blastboard. Riding a blast board in Forge isn�t like riding a board in barrens. At home trees don�t weave out the way and blow horns at you. I laugh out loud as the aircar blares it�s horn at my unruly passing. I love this city.
I smile as my building comes closer and decide to ride the elevator up. It�s normally too slow for my taste but tonight I fully plan on taking my time. Well at least for a couple of hours while I watch my new Empire holo-vid.
I still have this paper, but with the mounds of research I�ve dug up, writing it should go pretty fast. That and after talking to my dad, understanding what happened is getting easier, but I�m still waiting for viddisks from the campus surveillance systems. I found out today that whole thing had been recorded. I wish I�d known about that sooner.
When I walk into the apartment ZehBob isn�t there. Two for two. Blitz is coming home late. which means I can get a pizza with what I want on it, and watch my holo vid in complete peace. I�m popping the viddisk in when I hear a knock on my door.
I toss the holovid on the couch. So much for my night off.
