Page 95 of Tank’s Weakness

“It’s been weeks since I was fired, but they are now asking me to come in to get my things,” I mutter.

“Do you think it’s nefarious? We could send a brother with you.”

I shake my head. “I think whoever has replaced me wants their own space. I think it means they don’t plan to let me come back. I need to call my lawyer.”

“I can give you privacy,” she offers.

I shake my head, dialing the number. After a short conversation with my lawyer, I look to Sloane.

“He said to go. It shows cooperation. I need to find Tank. Do you know where they are right now?”

She smiles. “Text him and tell him to come home. Trust me, he will be here.”

“You think?”

She nods. “I know. Especially with what we all know about him now. I promise, they aren’t doing anything important. Text him.”

I open our latest conversation, smiling when I see the picture he sent me from the store earlier. He’s holding up tampons with an older lady looking scandalized behind him. He captioned it with “Are these it?”

It made me laugh then, and I’m still smiling now.

Me

Can you come home? I have something we need to discuss.

He replies quickly.

Tank

On my way.

Kelly and Jane come in the door, stopping short when they see us on the floor.

“Uh, you guys good?”

I look at Sloane to find her already looking at me. We burst out laughing, unable to contain ourselves.

“They’ve lost it. We should call someone,” Jane whispers.

“Is sun poisoning enough to cause this?” Kelly hisses at her.

“I don’t know.”

I’m practically crying as Sloane stands, helping me to my feet.

“It’s cooler on the floor. We are good now, though. Did you get everything planned out?” Sloane asks.

“I don’t know if I like them being close friends. With the way Delaney can make people do as she says and Sloane’s bad ideas, they really will cause a lot of chaos,” Kelly states.

“Can you imagine? They would be a super team,” Jane groans.

“Wait until you meet my best friend Erica. It gets even better,” I promise.

That only makes them look more worried as Sloane and I laugh even more.

I don’t know how I got so lucky to find my way into this little family, but I know I’m lucky.
