Chapter 4
I woke up the next morning possibly more tired than I was the night previous. If you ever share a bed with a half gnome half elf, I advise keeping a pot of coffee on hand. They are near ravenous and have enough energy to go non-stop for hours.
Lucy laid naked next me, a sleeping angel half covered by the red silk sheets. I slipped out of the bed and pulled on my slacks. Lucy murmured something about applying gyros to the stabilizers to something. I tossed on my button down shirt and exited the room.
I walked down the stairs to Lucy's scrying mirror. I gave Tobias a summons. He answered after the fifth chime. He looked about as groggy as I felt and expressed his displeasure with a few choice words.
“Seriously cousin, I know I said summon me whenever you need me, but at least have the decency to summon me after ten.” he said.
“I have a situation and I need to start the preparations early. What can you tell about activity with the orcs?”
Tobias shuffled a bit and rubbed the sleep out of his golden eyes. I could see two girls move in the background in his bed. He smoothed out his thin mustaches with his hand.
“My boys say that one of the big gangs has gotten their hands on something huge. Sounds like they are sitting on it. Word is that they are calling in outside help to examine whatever it is.”
I swore. “OK, I’m going to need help with an extraction. Morntok has the kid I'm looking for.”
“Didn't he shoot you for sleeping with his sister?” he laughed.
“Yes he did.”
“You got a way in?”
“Not quite yet. I'm contacting Brill after this conversation. Hopefully I'll have something of interest for her.”
“Hopefully?” he asked.
“Lucy's got something for me.”
“Ah the infamous Lucy. I'm going to have to me the reclusive genius one of these days.”
I laughed “No, no you won't. I had to share plenty of my things with you when we where growing up.”
Tobias smiled warmly. “OK, OK give me a shout when things are ready. The boys and I will be ready to ride, guns loaded.”
“Hopefully we won't have a big shoot out. I know for sure we will need an escort back to my office at least. Morntok rarely ventures out of orc country. The coppers will be on him and his crew the moment they entered my side of town.”
“True enough. I await your call.” Tobias closed the connection.
I felt a pair of tiny arms wrap around my waist. Lucy's bare breasts pressed against my buttocks.
“I don't recall saying I was done with you yet,” she whispered in a soft sultry voice.
“Lucy, You do remember we are not alone?”
"Your point? Our peculiar guest is in my home at her own risk. If she has a problem with nudity, it is none of my concern.”
I laughed and turned around to face her. She looked up to me with big wanting eyes. Her head rested just above my belly button. She slowly licked her lips. I lifted her up off the ground and gave her a kiss before she could do what I knew she was thinking. I carried her back to her room. In the corner of my eye I noticed Tanis peeking out from inside the guest room.
I laid Lucy back on her large bed. Now when I say large, I mean large for me. It was a proverbial ocean for Lucy. Complete with an ornate headdress, full canopy with red curtains that matched the silk sheets. The little minx even had mirrors installed in the ceiling of the canopy.
