Ahoy sailors
I am making one final check for errors now, and then the chapter will be live. Shouldn't take more than an hour or so. In the meantime, have a short excerpt below the break!
Chapter 7: Fortune Favors the Bold
Ty was standing in the kitchen, sifting through several containers of food on the counter when I got back to the apartment. Both the fridge and freezer doors hung wide open.
“Hey, dude. I wish you’d showed up a few minutes ago. Would have asked you to help me move this thing,” he said, slamming the fridge door shut with a crisp slap.
I had half a mind to punch him right in the beak. He was the source of all of my problems today. That stupid, dopey grin on his face mocked me. I wanted to smack it off him. I took a step forward and bumped into a very full and heavy duffel bag sitting in the middle of the floor, pulling me from my rage-fueled thoughts.
“What’s this?” I asked.
“I just got orders today. There’s some—you alright?” He cocked a brow at me. “You look like you just saw a ghost.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Just got back from flying. I’m a little tired,” I said, quickly covering my tracks.
Ty clicked his beak. “Huh. Anyway, some stuff is going down and the Eidothea is getting deployed to Greenfin Island. I have to go with it—sad, I know.”
Good. Now he’d be out of my feathers for a while and I could straighten out the whole Silverstream debacle without him hanging over my head. “Well I guess I’ll see ya,” I said, walking toward my ramp on the left side of the room.
