Bab 218: HILDRED: THE GREAT GOSSIPMONGER

WULFRIC just got out of the car when he saw Hildred walking up to him, as if the other had been waiting for him there. 

"I though you'd come back with Sled," the other started.  "Did you play hooky somewhere?" he added with a knowing smile.  As if he knew exactly where Wulfric had gone to.

Wulfric only gave Hildred a side-way glanced before he continued walking.  "Don't ask if you already know where."

Hildred smirked.  "You must be in a very good mood then."

Wulfric only have the other a look as if asking, 'do I even need to answer that?'.

Hildred stared at Wulf's obviously good mood.  The time he spent with Astrid must be quite eventful if he was this happy.  Well, good for him.  It's not often that Wulf could radiate this much happiness.

"If I knew something that interesting would happen, I would have insisted on accompanying you.  Now, Sled got all the good parts," he complained.  "Kidnapping and attempted murder, how awfully exciting!"
