Chapter 87: Late night thoughts.
Lying in bed that night, Hades and Sunshine were discussing the day and all that happened. It was something they did every night in order to catch up on what the other had missed. He was the first to bring Helena Drew.
"I told you we should stuff her in a box and dump her on Jon. That whispering Ariel was talking about; she is doing most of it."
Sunshine kicked his foot as she replied, "Maybe we should just poison her and make her dumb. No mouth no quaking." She giggled and raised her head, eyeing him expectantly.
He did not laugh.
"Tch, that was funny." Sunshine mumbled.
"It was." He admitted, "But I am thinking more on your dumb poison idea. It becomes more amazing as I think about it. Dwayne is an expert on poisons so he would know the right herbs or concoctions to get the job done."
Sunshine sat up and looked down at him. "Ask him about it tomorrow."
Hades suddenly sat up as well and her switched on the bedside lamp. He looked at her and asked, "Are we bad people for what we are planning to do?"
"Not even close. If the muteness does not solve the problem, then we dump her on Jon. I just don’t think he will tolerate her for as long as we have." She answered.
Jon would not be willing to feeding a loud-mouthed politician that was more of a burden than a helper. He would probably pass off to another of his friends.
