J*A*D*E*S
"Why the hell didn't you tell me!" yells Jo irate at Emma for keeping things from her, of all the people in the world that Jo trusts, she trusts Emma the most. She ranks right up there with Bev.
"I thought you'd get pissed?" asks Emma as they walk along the sidewalk heading into APO, Authorized Personal Only, the division that they were heading up with Rosita. Rosita is already there, they are hot on the trail of a flourishing crime syndicate. "Which you are, so, I was right."
"Pissed? Why would I be PISSED THAT YOU SAW BEV GETTING MARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE!" roars Jo causing the few people who are jogging to turn, jogging backwards to see what the woman in a suit is yelling about. Jo grimaces, chiding herself for losing her temper, but she didn't want to lose something else, Bev.
"Calm down," orders Emma, turning and placing a gentle hand on Jo's chest. "Now you listen to me, you know as well as I do that my powers, or my visions, aren't always right."
"Really? Since when? I've only seen you be right! When does this happen, when did you see it?" asks Jo who is in a frenzy not having slept since Natalie'd spilled the not-so-secret secret to her on the phone. Unable to ask Bev anything, Jo had simmered at home the night before, not going to Bev's but sleeping at Abandon instead. Her heart aches at the thought of life without Bev in it.
"I felt it from you," admits Emma stopping before they dial the number to APO from the disconnected phone booth. Emma hadn't thought that Natalie would tell Jo before she'd had a chance to gently break it to her best friend. Nat sometimes acts like a teenager herself. But her heart's in the right place.
"So, that means I am at the wedding," muses Jo running her hands through her hair, it spikes up on the left side, making Jo look that much wilder than just the look in her eyes. Emma feels the pain ebbing from Jo. Jo has always loved people, but never as she's fallen for Bev, the woman had accepted Jo with no trepidations, vampire strand and all.
"You see it from afar, I don't see the other woman's face, I can't tell who it is, and it could be anyone. Jo, this might not happen," stated Emma again, lying, praying Jo doesn't read her mind.
