WHO: Mason and Renata
WHEN: October 14, 2014; early evening
WHERE: Haven; Mason’s shop
WHAT: Long overdue family reunion.
Haven was a little more threatening when it wasn’t full light out, and Renata second guessed her decision to finally make her way to Mason’s shop the entire way there. The knife at her belt didn’t make her feel any braver honestly, or the presence of Leo. Who true to his word had shown her the shortcut, but she’d told him she didn’t need him to stay while she got into the building.
She didn’t need an audience while she tried to explain why it’d taken her so long to get up the nerve to find him in the city.
Renata had only realized after she climbed through the second floor window that Mason might have traps set to keep people out. But it was only a momentary pause before she started to pick her way through the rooms. She’d known him since they were kids, so anything he’d set up he’d probably done the same thing to their fort, and if that was the case she knew what to look for.
But just to be safe, she didn’t pull her knife out, because it’d be just her luck that she’d hit something or freak herself out and end up stabbing herself. Which would just be embarrassing. So, so, embarrassing.
It was a little eerie how quiet it was, which only made her nerves rise a little more. Maybe she should have gone in through the ground level, or announce her presence or something. What if it was Philip she found and not Mason? He had never actually hurt her before, and she was mostly confident that he wouldn’t, but it wouldn’t be the same response that she’d get from Mason.
Something crunched under her boot, and she was so preoccupied with the sudden noise that she walked into the wall in the hallway because she hadn’t paid attention to where she was going.
“Get it together, Parker,” Renate muttered to herself, shaking off the impacting, but instead of moving further into the space she leaned against the wall. She started to think it really had been a bad idea to start on the second floor. Probably would have been funny on film though.
