Chapter 24: Home Cooked Meal

Two days later...

We were all back in the comfort of our own homes.

The guys had decided that we'd stay in Tonopah an extra night so that I could rest, and to make sure I was okay, despite being a little over two and a half hours away from Vegas.

We had arrived back around lunch time yesterday, having dropped me off at home first, and Cheryl was nearly in tears of relief when she saw me.

Cheryl knew the details of our lockdown because Aaron had called her shortly after we had been settled back in the motel after leaving the hospital. She had freaked out with worry despite Aaron's assurances that I had had a good doctor.

Now, she had been looking after me like a nurse ever since.

In the meantime, while I was taking it easy at home, the guys had begun going over all the video and audio from our investigation.

Today, Zak and Aaron were coming over with some of the more important evidence to show me, since I was eager to see it, despite being scared at reliving my part at the same time.

Cheryl wanted to see it too, even though I had told her most of the details that I knew. The guys knew she could be trusted to watch the footage and not go blabbing to the media, so they didn't mind her watching it.

Cheryl had offered to cook dinner for the four of us.

Zak and Aaron, reacting like five-year-olds in a candy store, had eagerly agreed to a home cooked meal that wasn't of their own making.

We had invited Billy, Jay and Ashley to come over as well, but they didn't want to impose since I still wasn't feeling the best, even though I insisted I didn't mind. Billy and Jay also said they still had some more footage they wanted to go over.

I figured it was just as well, I wasn't sure how I was going to react to watching the footage for the first time. I knew I'd be more comfortable watching it with just Zak and Aaron, since they had gone through the experience with me.

I could smell the food Cheryl was cooking as I finished drying my hair.

I had just gotten out of what felt like the best shower I had had in a long time. It helped me feel better physically and mentally - not to mention it had felt great to finally be able to take the bandage off my temple.

The wound didn't look nearly as bad as I had imagined.

Not worried about dressing up for the guys, I left my hair down, and put on a pair of grey, loose fitting yoga pants with a dark grey baby doll t-shirt that had an image of "Darth Vadar" from "Star Wars", holding a sign that said "Free Throat Hugs".

I figured the guys would get a kick out of it

I walked downstairs just as Cheryl was walking out of the kitchen.
