"Brother?....."
"Brother!"
Dana raised her voice but Percy kept walking, moving with purpose in a fixed direction, eyes straight ahead. She hurried around in front of him and looked up at his face.
His eyes appeared blank. Eerily so.
"This isn't funny, brother." She planted her feet and pushed against him with everything her slight frame could manage, trying to stop him from walking further . She was being pushed back instead , but Percy had slowed down.
A hand came down on her head.
"What are you doing, Dana?"
She looked up confused . Her eyes teary and wet.
Percy frowned. "Let me go. Quickly. I need to umm release something."
Dana stared at him.
Then stepped aside.
Percy broke into a run toward the nearest alley corner. Dana watched him go, the situation assembling itself in her mind one piece at a time.
Her face went red.
She turned sharply away and walked to the alley entrance to wait, arms folded.
"Stupid brother."
