The way back was quite long and boring for Castle. And, since all the adrenaline he received during the two fights in which he took part this evening is now completely dissolved, all the pain coming from his numerous injuries makes him suffer more than when he received them.
He puts a hand on his right side, where a deep pleasure runs a few inches into his skin. It's true that he didn't lose a lot of blood, but enough that his vision was blurred and his legs were shaking, barely allowing him to still walk.
But that doesn't mean he's giving up on his way. As she climbs a slight hill, his face suddenly seems relaxed. The caravan is standing right in front of him, barely 500 meters away. Castle crosses the remaining meters and once there, pushes the door with a sudden movement.
Immediately, with a quick, unthinking movement, Frank draws his pistol and quickly points it at an unidentified man with his back to him, crouching on the ground. Hearing the din Frank made, the stranger turns his head, seeming to have a heart attack.
"Fuck Frank! You're serious man? You gave me one of those goddamn scares!
Curtis yells, putting a hand against his heart, which is racing in his ribcage.
-What are you waiting for?! Lower your gun for fuck sake!''
Castle reacts instantly, and puts his rifle away, trying to suppress the deep tantrum that he can feel coming.
"Oh shit...I feel like I'm not going to have a good time..." Curtis whispers to himself. I know that look man. Why are you angry?
-Is it just me or are you completely oblivious Curt!? I could have shot you, killed you damn it!-But you didn't.
-No but-
-But you didn't! That's it, we can move on. Ah and by the way you have a dirty face man! What did you do to be in such a state?Frank ignores the man's question, and just blows loudly, contracting his fists sharply. Just thinking about what just happened is enough for Castle to glare at his best friend. Man, if only looks could kill... he probably would have been dead on the floor by now.
-What are you doing here? Letting me know you were coming didn't cross your mind?? Articulates Frank by mounting pressure.
-I'd like to remind you that this shack belongs to me man. I don't have to let you know when I'm coming.
Castle exhales clenching his teeth, and draws on the depths of him to find the serenity that will allow him not to dismantle Curtis.
-Oh and, since Saturday you came like a flower giving me your dog without any instructions, I thought it would be good to come and get him his kibble. Just so he doesn't starve and you don't break my spine by the same occasion.
-Ahah, very funny. Said Castle rather sarcastically. His food is right there, in the cupboard under the sink. Articulates Frank, pointing to the location of the food.
-Well there you go, you see when you want my friend. Curtis laughs as he gets up and walks over to the closet. He crouched down in front and opened the small door.
-You have to be kidding me? Drop Curt stunned at what lies before his eyes, behind the cupboard door.
-Well, yeah, man, definitely! ''
Frank rolls his eyes, smiling slightly. He doesn't really listen to what his buddy is saying anymore, and he looks for the little kit in the bathroom. Here we go... Sewing activity, as we like them. Think Castle roughly picking up a needle and thread.
"-Eh! Do you listen to me when I speak? Almost yells Curtis who obviously is still shocked by his discovery.
Castle just does his usual thing, which is to sigh and ignore.
-I want you to be a gaga dog dad but-
-I am absolutely not gaga with my dog, and for information, Bam Bam is not a spoiled rotten dog either.
-Listen old man, if your dog wasn't spoiled rotten, he would eat kibble! What normal dog eat! Curtis pauses, then stretches his arm forward, revealing a massive plank of 5-star Angus beef in his hand. In your closet, he continues, is a huge cooler filled to the brim with steak that even I can't ever afford for myself. And you dare to say that you are not gaga? Pfft that's bullshit man.
Well, maybe, but at least my dog is healthy. It's pretty much one of the only things that matters to me now.
-It's okay, I'm not holding you back, you have what you came for, you can leave now!
-Are you kicking me out too?! Well, I would have seen it all! ''
Curtis huffs and ducks, shaking his head from side to side. Castle, having probably already moved on from his little tantrum, joins his laughter with his friend's. The latter ended up returning to the kitchen and taking the cooler filled with steak with him. The two men say goodbye in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
