| Publisher Description: (3) Rilo and I were in bed when the knock came on the door. "Open up I-C-U-R-SIC Squad " I jumped up first. I had been waiting for this moment for months now, ever since my family had come down to the city. I was ready; my shields were up and my fear was down. "Something Up?" My tousled fur and bemused expression must have unnerved the guards. "We had a report here of late night meetings after curfew. We're going to have to take a look around." "Suit yourself," I replied. I stepped aside from the door and the two guards came into the austere apartment. Rilo, I noticed, hadn't even gotten out of bed. Good ploy, I thought. That will make up for her late night carousings and tired brain. If Rilo acts undisturbed, the guards will think it's a false alarm. I continued to muse: if Rilo's brain wasn't so tired, she would have heard the guards' thoughts on their way up the stairs. But no, Rilo's way of raising the city's vibration was to party and dance all night. "Sending the good flow down to heal the planet; down, down, down where the tyrants' surface grid of mind control doesn't reach. That's my plan, Knoc," she always told me. Then she would show me how that same good energy was reaching back up into the feet of the street people...making them look around, making them connect with each other, making them think. "Nothing here, Captain," Cedric, a fresh cadet was saying. The captain left in a huff. But not before the cadet turned to give me a quick salute - which earned him my saucy smile in return. It was then Rilo pulled herself off of the mattress on the floor. "What's up, baby sister?" she gave me a lopsided grin. Sticking to her sweaty belly were half a dozen loose papers she was lying on in order to hide the minutes from my GEAR meeting of the night before. "Rilo, you are such a goof," I laughed, but all I could think about was that cool cat, Cedric the Cadet...and his smart salute. |
