Ch.16: Sharing is Caring

"Hide me how?"

He walked up to her wrapping his free arm around her waist then whispered in her ear, "Keep your head down, the kids at this school are rats."

Susan's face grew warm but she nodded and walked along side of him with her head low to keep attention away from both of them. Upon exiting the back they were greeted by streetlights and parking in the back of the building but not people.

Professor Dangerous looked around before letting go, "Hurry and call your friend, please."

"Way ahead of you," She held the phone to her ear, "Come on answer the damn phone."

"Hello Suzy Q, how was your date?"

"Listen, Carol, things got weird, like really weird, I need you to come pick me and — my friend up behind the distillery alright?"

"Bringing him back? I see you. Alright. I'll pick you two up."

"Carol I have a lot of explaining to do when you get here alright, so don't freak out."

"I'm too high for this shit, Susan, I'm coming though. I got you. I'll be there soon."

"Alright I'll see you soon."

She hung up the phone and pushed it into her pocket. "Okay, Carol will be here in a few minutes."

Upon looking up she saw him upset yet in deep thought.

"D?" She called to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm just thinking."

"Yeah, I know, it's a lot to process." Sue sighed, "Like a lot lot."

"I just don't understand how I didn't recognize your voice." He shook his head.

"Listen, Dangerous, I'm still drunk right now, and thinking isn't my strong suit. Let's worry about this Monday."

"Monday?"

"There's a lot you need to know about everything I shared with you, context. It's important, regardless of how awkward it is."

In that moment Dangerous remembered spilling his guts about his abuse to her and looked away from her immediately not knowing where to put himself.

There was silence between the two until Carol's car began pulling up the alleyway. The side window was already rolled down which Susan was expecting.

They car stopped directly next to the hand cuffed pair.

"No, fucking, way." Carol smiled. "This isn't a joke is it?"

"Carol I swear to god. I don't want a single word out of you until we get back."

Sue pulled open the back side door and slid in with Dangerous behind her.

"Good evening, Carol."

"Dude..." Carol began.

"Ah! No!" Susan wagged her finger, "Drive."

oOoOoOo

"Welcome to casa de Carol y Susan!" Carol presented their apartment to Professor Dangerous.

"Uh, it's lovely, thank you for having me." He stayed close to Susan a tad nervous. "Carol were you under the influence while driving?"

"Depends on the influence?"

"Not now," Susan jumped in as she dug through her purse, "Take this key and go to the janitors closet. Open it up and get the bolt cutters."

Carol saluted and quickly left, "Keep your clothes on you two, I'll be back soon."

"Carol!"

"Susan, it's alright. She's obviously not herself." Dangerous assured, "I'm sorry about all of this."
