Ouch. My head.
One of my temples pounded like a hammer. A hammer hitting bundles of dynamite.
Where the hell was I?
The cold wooden floorboards pressed against my cheek, my whole body flush to the cool surface.
Why was I on the floor?
Mariachi music blared nearby. Was I in Mexico?
I wanted to go back to sleep. My head fogged with no lighthouse in sight. I would have fallen back to sleep if it weren’t for the other body lying on the floor. She lay face down. I could only see her blonde hair and ponytail.
Damn, I hoped she wasn’t dead. That would suck.
I struggled to push myself off the ground but my muscles whined, so I gave up. For some reason, my waist felt colder than the rest of me, I felt wet there. The small pool of blood answered some questions.
