The Naked Beat

"Just where do you two think you're going?" Jade Chen asked in a huff.

I turned to face her. She looked like the den mother of a sorority house that just caught the quarterback of the football team sneaking out with one of her girls. Blaze, however, looked like a turtle that was trying to cross the road and saw an eighteen wheeler barreling toward her.

"There's way too much noise back there. We're going to find a place that's a little quieter," I said.

"I don't think so," Jade Chen said calmly and evenly.

And that didn't sound good...

    That Jade Chen sounds scary, particularly when she speaks calmly and evenly!

    Neville, to me someone speaking calmly is always more menacing than a screamer.

    That's a great description, Drew. Yeah, Jake's not one to do as he's told. ;)
