“I want you to take them back,” I told Tiffany Guy.
“I can’t take them back. I have express ordersnotto take them back,” Tiffany Guy returned.
“You have to take them back!” I shouted.
“I can’t,” Tiffany Guy said back.
I snatched the box out of Tex’s hand and pushed it toward Tiffany Guy. He put his hands up and took a step back.
“Take them!” I yelled, jerking my arm toward him.
“No, I can’t. We were told not to accept a refusal.”
“Take them!” I shrieked.
“For God sake, take ’em, man, she’s gonna blow,” Tex boomed.
He didn’t take them, so I threw the box at him. It bounced off his chest and landed on the floor. We were all staring at it when I heard the tone from my cell.
I felt something on my arm and looked down at Zombie Mrs. Salim. She was holding on to my arm and looking into my eyes. Her fingers squeezed my arm with surprising strength, and I felt a weird sense of well-being steal over me.
It was then I realized I was totally freaking out and I took a deep breath. I nodded to Mrs. Salim and picked up the box. I snatched the bag out of Tiffany Guy’s hand and put them back in the bag and set them on the book counter.
Whatever.
I’d give them to charity or something.
“Indy, it’s Lee,” Ally was standing by me now and she was holding out my phone.
How could I forget? The place was wired and had cameras. Command Headquarters had informed Lee of the latest delivery.
I took the phone from Ally and snapped it shut.
Ally stared at the phone then at me.
“Did you just hang up on Lee?” she asked.
“Yep,” I answered.
Ally stared back at the phone, then back at me.
“You just hung up on my brother?” Ally asked, sidling into bitch smackdown mode in defense of her sibling.
“Ally,” Kitty Sue said placatingly.
“We’re on a break,” I told Ally.
“You’re on a break? You’ve been together a week!” Ally yelled.
“We’re on a break,” I repeated.
“I don’t believe this,” Ally snapped, her hand at her hip, countdown to bitch smackdown mode hitting critical.
“Ally,” Kitty Sue put in, “it’s none of your business.”
“What do you mean it’s none of my business? Lee’s my brother, she’s my best friend.”
“She means it’s none of your business,” I told Ally. “Back off.”
