I wasn’t sure how long we danced but the music changed and the D.J came over the
speaker. “Last song of the night! You don’t have to go home but you cannot stay here!”
He started playing Closing time, by Semisonic and the lights came back on. Colt stepped
away but there was still a fire in his eyes that told me I wasn’t going to be getting much
sleep tonight.
“I need to shut down the computer in the office.” I heard Kristen tell Alec as Colt pulled me
towards him and kissed me. He wasn’t ready to stop dancing but the law was the law.
“Come on. There are some final things we need to do too.” I
whispered to him. Grabbing his hand, we followed Kristen and Alec up to the office.
“What do we need to finish?” Colt asked as he shut the door.
“I need your signature on these forms.” Kristen put a stack of papers

“Seriously? What is all this?” Colt sat down and flipped through it.
“Shipping things. I got it set up on auto shipping so if we get caught up, nothing will be
missed. The payroll has been set up so we can access it remotely just in case and I also
got the security loaded on your phone.” I said, trying to remember it all. “Kristen has
signed it and now I need your signature.”
“When did you do all this?” Colt looked impressed.
“Last week or so. You have been so focused on everything else but pack stuff that I just
didn’t without asking.” I was a little annoyed he was questioning it.

“Have you guys actually had time to get to know each other or spend any quality time
together?” Kristen asked.
“I mean, no but that’s okay.”
“How is that okay?” Kristen asked.
“When we found out we were mates, he was so focused on saving you that I was just kind
of there. Don’t get me wrong, that is where his focus should have been. I’m not the least
upset about it but since I was never really part of your group and we didn’t hang out
before hand like you guys. Nothing has really changed. He treats me similar to how he
treated Kara. I mean, you were a good boyfriend, I’m sure but he hasn’t included me in
any decisions. So, I just am doing what I do best, staying in the background and doing
what I hope you like.” The word vomit just kept coming. I didn’t mean to say half of it but
it came out. Colt and Kristen were staring at me with open mouths and Alec just was
nodding to himself.
Feeling incredibly embarrassed, I just put my head down and walked out of the office.
Closing the door behind me, tears threatened to fall. Not wanting to give in, I started
walking around. Everyone was working like they should. The D.J. kept music playing so

floor, I stepped into something hard. The crunch was more violent than I imagined and it
caused me to lose my balance.
“Whoa! Luna, are you okay?” A female worker was sweeping when I
tripped.
“Penny!” Looking up, Colt, Kristen and Alec were walking towards me. They must have
saw me trip. Looking down, there was a little yellow and black thing with something
oozing from it.
“Don’t touch it!” Kristen screamed and took a few steps back. I was half way down when
she yelled, scaring me to the point the pack
“What’s wrong?” Colt asked. He walked up to me and pulled me into
him arms.
“Alec, that is one of those bees.” Kristen said. Her face went pale.
“The one that blew up knocked me out. The same ones Rip had hundreds of? The same
ones we thought he smashed them all?” I saw him anger grow with each sentence.
