As Kaya lifted her head to yell at him, Veer suddenly turned to the side and shouted, "Yes, yes, coming, coming!"
Kaya followed his gaze… and saw nothing. Zero. Nada. She turned to ask, "Who—"
And then—Veer was gone. Completely. Vanished into thin air.
"What the hell… this damn vulture!" she muttered, glaring at the empty space. She had been tricked—again.
Slowly, she lifted her shirt—her favorite pink one, mind you—and her heart sank. Mud. Everywhere. And that wasn't even the worst part. She turned slightly… and saw the back. It looked like someone had poured acid over it. She clutched her chest, wincing.
Hoping the damage wasn't universal, she lifted her pants. Well, front and back were fine. But the legs… oh, the legs. Like her shirt, but even worse—like someone had beaten them with a sledgehammer. Both fronts gone. Completely.
Kaya stared, mouth half-open. "How… how can someone destroy clothes like this?"
