“We’re going to get our asses killed” Thor stepped frorown pine several feet away and made his way to her

“Want me to send you home to momma for a diaper and nap, Thor?” she mocked

“You’re a bitch, Di” He sighed again “A true hard-core bitch”

“Yeah, yeah, so you keep telling me” Her tone conveyed a deliberate lack of concern, but she could feel her heart racing with fear

“The same one Gideon killed,” she murmured “Gideon beat us here, Thor”

“But we expected it” Thor shrugged easily “And what’s with this ‘us’ bullshit? There was no ‘us,’ boss You forgot to tell uess, remember?”
