\u201cCaroline?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d murmured Edward as he unfolded his stiff body and banged his head on the roof of the crate as he tried to stretch, \u201cYou do recall I mentioned that there were other players. Or were you once again failing to listen to anything other than the sound of your own voice?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, now, bunny-boy. That’s a pot\/kettle comment if I’ve ever heard one. You wouldn’t take advice from a hovering angel of god if it contradicted what your big furry ears wanted to hear,” the beaver said in a snide voice. He continued, “I bet …”<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough,\u201d barked Edward. \u201cI believe there a few more immediate issues confronting us. Shall we move on?\u201d Before the beaver could answer, Edward settled back down and said, \u201cDid you happen to glean any facts or information about our present predicament either before or after the gas affected us?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGas, that explains it.\u201d The beaver cocked his head and was silent for a moment. \u201cNo. No, I don’t think… Well, there is one thing. I thought I smelled aftershave or cologne. I remember thinking that was strange, because I can usually smell only the lemon when it’s nearby.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCologne? Are you sure? I am quite positive that this is the work of Caroline, and she is known for her feminine accoutrements. If she was wearing a scent, I am certain it would be a classic like Chanel or Givenchy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The beaver\u2019s only response was a grunt as the vehicle they were in hit a bump or pothole and both his and Edward\u2019s heads banged off the low roof.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill, it is unlikely, I suppose, that she would be doing this alone. She is unnaturally terrified of all things natural. An abduction of two \u2019animals\u2019 in the middle of the woods would be rather unlike her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey,\u201d the beaver snarled, \u201cSpeak for yourself. Animal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edward\u2019s face quirked into a bitter smile. \u201cIndeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
