Help from the OtherSide

20. Partner and I

Deccan's POV

"Hey don't walk away from me!" I called out to Miss wolf who sashayed her way to the shack number one. Her pups followed her leaving me and Team alone, to pack.

Liam crossed his arms and stared daggers at us. Suddenly my shoes looked interesting.
"You wanna explain what happened yesterday night? 

"Oh hey! Look at that bird." Grant pointed at a random tree with absolutely nothing in it. But I   understood what he was pointing at.
"Wanna take a closer look?" I faked a smile at Grant and we both took off for the tree.

At least we tried to. Before we could fully appreciate the beauty of that invisible specimen of a bird, someone hooked their fingers in our shirt collar and pulled us back.

"Woah." I reverse stumbled.
 "You ain't getting away that easy mister." Amelia looked like I just chopped her favourite tree. My shoes had lost it's charm and I was once again forced to interact with my species.

"So uhh. . . You had a good sleep. . ?" I fumbled for an ice breaker. 

Here I thought we were past that.

"Very good one actually. So good, to a point where my friends left me in a wasp infested dump yard of a house." He mocked shifting his glare from Grant to me.
"You aren't bitten though." I observed his arms, neck and face.

"And what if I was?" 

"Then I'd apologize. Again." I grimaced at the thought of begging for forgiveness the rest of the journey.

"Fact is, Yumiko did a great job at protecting us!" Grant made an attempt to diffuse the tension.

"Oh yeah! She was a total beast out there. Or should I say beest. " I wiggled my eyebrows at them. Grant snorted and Yumiko giggled. Other two poker faced my innuendo. 

"I'll let it slide if you promise to stop with those puns." Liam groaned.

"It will bee very hard, but I'll try." I hid a grin when he sighed.

I zipped my pants up and clean my hands. I had to relieve myself before the odyssey began.
 Wetting your pants while fighting whatever was in the woods was recommended by no one ever. The Wasp Shack had an excuse of a toilet and it disgusted me to spend each second there.

Fortunately for me, I can stand and do my business but it made me wonder how Yumiko and Amelia went about it. Kudos to them if they can make it out of this place without catching an infection. Seriously, hats off to them.

With my foot, I dragged the door shut behind me and packed my so called belongings, which narrowed down to Glowy. And a knife I may have stolen during the barbeque session.

I leave the Shack for good and walk towards the pit, where Team and Dora had assembled.

On getting closer, I saw Dora studying our Map. 
"I can get you here. . . without having to cross here. . ." Dora explained it to Liam and Yumiko.
