Between Them -Peter Rumancek & Roman Godfrey

Chapter 21



I rolled out of bed with a sickening feeling in my stomach, causing me to run into the bathroom.

I doubled over the toliet, and let out last nights dinner inside.

"Babe?" A voice asked as my hair was held back.

"I'm fine." I told Roman, wiping my mouth.

"No, you did this yesterday morning too." He said.

I stayed quiet and sat on the toilet, resting my head on the counter.

"We'll buy a pregnancy test." He kissed my forehead before leaving the bathroom.

I sighed, and got up to brush my teeth.

An hour later, Roman and I made our way to see Peter, as another body was found.

As soon as I found out, I called Letha, and she was safe and sound at home.

"I thought I ordered a redhead." Peter joked as Roman and I got too him.

"There was another one." Roman said.

"Another what?"

"Last night, another girl."

"Who?" Peter asked.

"They don't know yet. No head."

"It wasn't your mom, Destiny or Letha. We checked on her and called before we came here." I said.

"But it was the wrong moon." Roman said.

"That's supposed to be impossible, right?"

"Yeah, maybe... maybe not." Peter said.

"What do you mean? I thought we still had time to find him." Roman asked.

"You two need to be with Letha at sundown tonight."

"She's on your watch until this is over. This is your job now." Peter said.

"Where are you going?" I asked as Peter tried to get up.

"I'm gonna go see Destiny." He stood out of the tub.

"She knows more about the, uh... the protocols than I do."

"Protocols?" Roman asked.

"Or whatever. She might have a better idea about this, because I sure don't!" Peter said.

"If you go out in public, you'll be shot!"

"That's if you're lucky!" I said.

"Yeah, well, I'm a lucky guy." Peter said as I rolled my eyes.

"This is no joke! OK?" Roman said taking out his phone.

"Here. Call her."

"This isn't a pizza delivery." Peter said.

"You two go." We nodded.

"OK." Roman and I replied as we headed to the door.

"Don't let the bedbugs bite." Roman said as I rolled my eyes.

Roman knocked on the door of Destiny's place, as I rested my head on Roman's shoulder.

The door opened to show Destiny, as we stepped inside.

"How's my baby?" Lynda asked as she hugged me.

"He's safe where he is." I told her as we pulled away.

"No, he's not, but... what does he need?"

"There was another murder last night, the vargulf." Roman said as I sat on the couch.
