Night of the Comet

Chapter 15 – Mr. Blue Sky

Authors Note: Up to now, I'd been following the movie's plot rather closely. But in the last two chapters, I have decided to diverge from the ending of the movie. Not that I don't like it, it's a great ending but there's more to be said. I had planned for the end to be one chapter, but it wound up very big, so I broke into two parts. There will be one more chapter after this.

Tori's POV

Leaving the burning compound behind we drove off into the night, back towards LA. Before we had driven more than 5 miles it began to rain and thunder.

We talked it over and decided for safety's sake to not stay either at the station or at our homes. Just in case one of those think tank wackos somehow got their hands on a car.

After a few minutes of debate, we decided to stay in a hotel and chose one called, The Essex. Located in one of LA's newest skyscrapers, the hotel was the pinnacle of luxury, with a world class restaurant, rooftop pool and several expansive suites on the top floor. We chose it for two reasons, it was really nice and we could stay on the top floor which would provide some security from any of those wackos. It was also abandoned and free, which was an added bonus.

By the time we arrived at the hotel, the rain and turned into a full-scale downpour. We parked, got inside and once we were sure none of those freaks were about, found the master key off the remains of the manager and checked ourselves into the Presidential suite on the top floor. It had 4 bedrooms, a sitting area, kitchenette, game room with all the latest video games and even its own hot tub.

We were all pretty wiped by that time, so after heating up some tv dinners we picked up on the way back, we went to sleep. For extra security, Trina figured out how to and shut off the main elevators. Anyone wanting to get to us, even if they knew we were here, would have to walk up 40 stories. We also put a tripwire on both stairway's, each attached to an antipersonnel mine. I hated all the paranoia but until 2 days had passed and the last of the freaks would have turned to dust, it was necessary.

Both Brian and Sarah were wiped from their ordeal and once in bed each, fell asleep quickly. I had come out of the bathroom, and into the bedroom where Jade and I were staying. I found Jade standing by the window watching the storm outside.

I closed the door and walked slowly up behind Jade and wrapped my arms around her.

"Hey Baby." I whispered.

For a moment Jade said nothing but simply lowered her head.

"Something wrong Jade?"

Jade looked back up and again gazed out the window at the thunderstorm outside. "I was so horrible to you." Jade with a note of sadness in her voice. "Not only did I cheat on you, I drove you to break up with me. Yet here you are, I'm forgiven and, in your arms, again. At risk sounding soft, I like it when you call me baby. But you only call me that when we're alone. It's your special little name for me."

I moved around the side of Jade to see a single tear roll down her cheek.

Jade turned and looked at me in the eye. They were full of emotion, both love and sadness, so much so my heart ached for her. "I never thought I'd hear you say that to me again."

I quickly pulled her into an embrace and as soon as I did, she burst into tears. For the next five minutes Jade just cried into my shoulder. She didn't say anything, she just cried. We had our breakthrough on the roof of the radio station, but that doesn't mean we don't have things to let out.
