“A plan for everything.” Ren shouldn’t have been surprised. Even if Mason had built himself enemies his place was still safer than the hotel, most days.
Ren let out a laugh that was louder than any of the ones before that. “You reckon that? Your fun and mine might be a little different.” She was just being a pain really. She had always had a good time with Mason, even if she’d been put through initiations of a sort also. “Don’t know what the big problem is with you blokes. The whole lot of you act like getting caught on camera is going to kill you.” She exaggerated a huff, folding her arms across her chest.
“First I’ll have to teach you what Tumblr is. Then I’ll show you my army.” Renata kicked her foot against Mason’s arm, but only after she knew that it wasn’t going to be a serious problem for him while he cleaned her gun. “You’ll be amazed, I swear it.” So what if she took a little pride in being famous, even if it was mostly internet famous.
Renata fidgeted with her dreads and nodded. “I reckon I have. a year ago I wouldn’t have had to survive a crazy persons bloody game, or a cannibal attack. Bloody weird shit.” Deep in her bones she still felt mostly like herself though, but she wasn’t going to come out on the other side of this mess without baggage, she didn’t think. “And I can shoot just fine, mister.” She kicked at his arm again for good measure.
“Why do you think I do it?” She grinned really wide at that and shook her head. “Got you to do that. Now hurry up so we can hit the water.” Renata tapped her wrist in a silent ‘time is ticking’ gesture.
