Blood Relay – Devon Mihesuah (1)

I mean, not fish that sits out overnight. But I’ll eat it as long as it doesn’t smell bad.” “Gross.” Cherry appeared with a carafe of coffee and two tall glasses of iced lemonade and a glass of water. “Enjoy,” she chirped. Perry picked up the glass of water and downed half of it. She looked out of breath. “You feeling better?” Perry shrugged. “I’m in the process of healing.” She took a swig of the lemonade. “Wow.

That is tart. It tastes like Deep Eddy.” “Who?” Perry laughed, then grimaced as she touched her right cheek. “Fuck. That hurt.” She took a few breaths and said, “Not who. What. A vodka that tastes like lemonade.” She wished she had a glass of that right now. “Ah yes. I know those lemonade drinks that are not lemonade.”

“Have you ever had a Long Island iced tea?” “I don’t think so.” “Troy and I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras a few years ago and had those at…I forget. Maybe Pat O’Brien’s. That’s an old bar in the French Quarter. Anyway, that drink tastes like iced tea, but it’s really a mix of rum, vodka, tequila, gin, and other stuff. Lordy we got drunk.” She drained the rest of the lemonade and laughed, although their hangovers had not been funny.

Sophia refrained from telling her story about chugging a bottle of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill in high school and then vomiting for the next twenty-four hours. “So, Sealy and his dad seem to be indignant that we asked about the allotment.” Perry nodded, then picked up the coffee and took a sip. “They did. You never know what you might discover when we’re just gathering data.”

“We have to ask him if he has his own land,” Sophia said.

Lee looked out his window and asked, “Is that Rhonda?” “Yeah. I dunno who that is with her and I don’t care.” They listened to the Jonas Brothers for a minute, then Lee said, “Those guys.” “Yeah. And so?” He shrugged. “Just sayin’.” “Who would you rather listen to?” “Um. Luke Bryan.” Dels sighed. “Well, he’s okay. But we’ll go with what I got for now.”

As she hit I-40, Santana’s “Aqua Marine” began. “How’s your knee?” he asked. “It throbs and so does my head.” After the Santana song, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” started. Dels tapped her fingers on the steering wheel.
