Brighton, MI | Thursday Night

The time between guarding Victor and Robert while Rose and Sonya paved the way with Jill's family and wandering the ladies clothing department of a massive catch-all store with a cart overflowing with camping equipment and first aid supplies had passed in a blur

Rose's knee was throbbing strongly enough that she couldn't quite ignore it as she leaned back in the seat. God, three hours ago, she'd been ecstatic. She'd pulled it off, they'd found the missing Dragomir, they'd convinced Jill - and her mom - to go to Court to support Lissa and then it'd all gone to crap.

It'd all gone to crap, and the guardians had shot at her and Dimitri as they'd escaped. Fighting to subdue the other guardians and not seriously injure them had been difficult enough especially with Rose's knee threatening to give out every time she put weight on it, but when they'd had to fight just to escape and not even bring Jill out with them...

She couldn't help being pissed off as she waited for Dimitri to get out of that huge store. Maybe he'd even grab some food for them.

Dimitri hadn't forgotten food so much as chosen to go the hot food route after grabbing a few things that would work for the morning. After filling the trunk with camping equipment, he opened the car door and piled the many bags on the seat and floor. "How's the knee?" he asked, climbing in the driver's side with a sigh and holding out an instant ice pack.

"Oh God, I love you," Rose said, taking the ice pack and breaking it to start the cooling action. "How much stuff did you get? We're just going to a hotel, right?"

Dimitri shook his head. "We'll be harder to find at a campground, especially since we can't get rid of the car yet." It was a pretty sweet ride, this sports car he'd snagged.
