Kiss Me if You Can — Chapter 22

COVER UP. YOU'LL CATCH A COLD.

WELL, IF YOU INSIST.

HA...!

DAMN IT.

HU...

GUESS IT'S TRUE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING OFF OF THEIR LOOKS.

HAAH...

EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, KEEP THIS WRAPPED AROUND YOU.

SO, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY TO ME?

WHEN YOU'RE DONE, CLOSE THE DOOR.

I WAS THE FOOL FOR EXPECTING ANYTHING.

WAIT.

DID I... JUST GET PLAYED?

97...

98, 99...

100—

101—

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

AH, MR. MILLER, YOU'RE AWAKE.

I ASKED WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

EVERY DAY IT'S A FIGHT.

...CAN'T YOU SEE? I'M EXERCISING TO STAY WARM.

...?

WHAT IS THIS? WHAT'S WITH HIS EXPRESSION? IS HE FLUSTERED?

...NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.

IT'S JUST HIS USUAL EXPRESSION.

...LET'S KEEP WORKING OUT.

...HEY.

HEY.

HEY, YOU.

YOU BASTARD, CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?

WHAT IS IT? WHY ARE YOU BEING SO...?

YOU'RE ONE TO TALK. DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME?

...WHY HAS HE BEEN SO INSISTENT ON TALKING TO ME SINCE EARLIER?

HOW IS IT THAT YOU REMEMBER ME?

WHAT?

I DIDN'T PLAN ON CONFRONTING HIM LIKE THIS.

IT WAS JUST THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT.

BECAUSE OF THAT...

THAT FUCKING DREAM.

IF I TOLD HIM IT WAS BECAUSE THAT MOMENT BLURRED THE LINE OF REALITY FOR ME,

HE'D SURELY THINK I'D LOST MY MIND FOR GOOD, RIGHT?

JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

YOU HATE PARTIES? ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE REALLY A DOMINANT ALPHA?

MR. MILLER, FOR A DOMINANT ALPHA, YOU'RE A BIT RESERVED, DON'T YOU THINK?

...!

A COYOTE...?

DAMN IT. I NEED SOMETHING I CAN USE AS A WEAPON.

MR MILLER... WHEN I GIVE THE SIGNAL...

MR MILLER...?

DAMN IT! NOW, OF ALL TIMES?!

MR MILLER, SNAP OUT OF IT!

THAT'S NOT A DOG!!

MR MILLER...! CHASE MILLER!

GET IN THE CAR! NOW!!

MOVE QUICKLY!!!

Kaheng

CHASE...!

...!!

KEUGH...!
