Giza's River Port

Shaleigh's POV

I looked at my watch it said that it was 4:00 a.m. I made my way around people toward the boarding passes; I had to cut in line to make it to the front. A lot of men were not happy with me, that's ok they didn't have much to say when, I showed them my holster holding my revolver.

"Do you need something ma'am?" asked one of the men inside the booth. I looked around the narrow opening looking for the man who owes me my money.

"For one do not call me ma'am and secondly I'm looking for a worker named Jim." Right when I said his name I seen a worker run out through the back. "Oh never mind I found him." I left the booth. 'Oh great I have to chase him' I thought. "Now where did he go?" I began to look among the crowd. I heard a woman scream, I turned to the source of the scream. "There!" I ran as fast as I could, slowly I closed in on him. "Damn it Jim, you know I hate running!" I reached out to grab the back of his shirt.

"Oh hey where are you going?" I looked up to see Rick who had just gotten a haircut and had shaved his face. He pulled Jim into a choke holding Jim. "Why are you running away from her?" he asked Jim.

"He's the one that owes me money," I said as I tried to catch my breath. "I guess he thinks that I'm gonna kill him." I finished.

"Oh, why didn't you try talking to him first?" Rick teased.

"You know that I would have but this idiot ran off before I could talk to him." I grabbed Jim's shirt. "I'm not gonna kill you although I should 'cause you made me run after your ass. I'm going to let your debt slide, only if you do me a favor?" I let go of his shirt. He tried to get out of Rick's choke hold, but failed. I gave Rick a nod and he happily let go of the small man.

Jim pulled himself off the ground. "And what would that be?" With an attitude he patted the dirt off his clothes.

"I need six river boat boarding passes that leaves today." I just stood with my hand on my hip, still regaining my breath.

"And if I refuse?" he cocked his eyebrow and had a stupid grin.

"Oh ok do you wish to run for the rest of your life because your debt just became doubled. " I said. "I don't think you can pay that debt, but if you do as I asked the debt will be forgotten, and you will never see me again." I watched his face grow more serious.

"Deal." He extended His arm and his hand opened, I shook his hand in the agreement. "Now if you two will follow me I will give you the boarding passes." He slowly headed back to the ticket booth as Rick and I followed closely making sure he wouldn't run away.

By time we reached the ticket booth I took another look at my watch. "4:50 a.m. They'll be here any minute." I told Rick but he pointed toward the back of the ticket line where we saw Tamaryn, Donovan, Evy and Jonathan. "Oh they made it earlier than I had expected." I looked at Rick who had a big smile on his face, "You like her don't you?" I lightly punched his arm.

"No I don't." He gave me a push in response to my punch.

"Richard O'Connell don't you dare lie to me. I know the way you look at her, and need I remind you of that kiss you gave her yesterday before your botched execution." I pushed him back.

"I thought it was a good idea to kiss her." He said as he leaned against the wall of the booth. I noticed a faint blush appear on his cheeks.

"Rick, don't give me or anyone else that bull shit." I laid my hand on his shoulder, "My friend I know you too well, and don't ever use that lie again ok."

"Yeah whatever" He said, a few seconds later Jim came back out with our boarding passes and handed it to the both of us.

"Thank you Jim." I said happily. "Now you can go and you'll never have to see me again, but watch it when you gamble ok." I patted his back as he gave me a nod and walked away never to be seen to me ever again.

"Hey Tay and Rick!" yelled Donovan as he carried both his and Tamaryn's luggage, which wasn't that much. Tamaryn ran through the crowd making her way towards Rick and I. She eventually tripped over her feet, Rick and I just laughed at her. Tamaryn picked herself off the ground and scolded us which made us laugh even harder.

"Wow! That was an amazing entrance Tamaryn." Rick laughed. A few seconds passed and Donovan finally reached to where we were. "What took you so long Donovan?" Rick asked even though he knew the answer.

"I didn't feel like running." Donovan replied. "Am I gonna carry all this shit all the way there?" Donovan pouted at Tamaryn.

"Oh I guess I'll take half the load." She reached and grabbed one of the two suitcases from his arms not before giving him a light kiss on his lips. Tamaryn was looking at my clothes like she always does. "Why don't you ever wear any feminine clothes, if you want a man you need to show your stuff," Tamaryn pushed me; I happily punched her arm for that comment.

"It's hard to fight in a dress or a skirt, and these clothes are very comfortable." That was always my answer when she jokes around and asked that question. She was always telling me a way to get a man.

"I know I'm just messing with ya." She laughed. "Now where are those passes that you said you'll get?" she asked. I pulled the passes out of my duffel bag. "Yay boat ride." She sighed happily as she and Donovan left to board the boat.

"Well I'm going to find Evy and Jonathan." Rick stated. He started to walk away.

"Yeah go find your girl O'Connell." I giggled at him. He only replied with a grant and continued to walk away. 'I'm bored I think I'll join Rick.' I followed him, he noticed and scolded me but I ignored him.
