Kaz

I lean on the car and huff.

"C'mon, guys, hurry up. I have things to do today!" I look at my watch and over at the Sanctuary I throw my hands up, {fuck it. I'm going in.} I get up and start walking over to it when, finally, they come out.

"Get in the car Kaz, we're going to the airport." Skulduggery waves back toward the Bentley.

"Why? It's a small enough country we can just drive."

"America's having an apocalyptic situation, we've been asked to go help out. Deal with it." Val starts pushing me since I hadn't moved when Skul told me to.

"Aw hell no. You two can handle that on your own. I left America for a damn good reason. I don't wanna eat my words."

"Too bad." Skulduggery wrangles me into the car and then gets in himself. "We need you, I don't care what made you leave, get over it. Or else."

"Fine. But I'm gonna complain the entire time. You know that right? But if there is a Chevy Impala at any venue, I will refuse to enter, I'm staying in the goddamn car, you get me?" I slouch, cross my arms and glare out the window.

"Why...? You know what, I'm not even gonna go there. Alright, you deal with your problems your way, as long as you don't try and get back to Ireland before the job is done. Ok?"

"That, Skul, is the one thing you will never see me do. Ever." {*Except when John tells you he never wanted you and that you aren't even his* shut-up. That was years ago. The asshole's probably dead. If he is, I won't shed a tear. *Cause you're a heartless bitch* at least I can admit it.} I roll my shoulders and lean on the door. "I'm gonna catch some shut eye, tell me when we get there?" I don't wait for an answer and pull my jacket tighter around myself. It's been ages since I've slept in a car. Kinda miss it. A smile crosses my face and I relax, the purr of the road under the wheels soothe like nothing else ever will, all that's missing is Kansas and the hushed voices of my brothers arguing about something or other and it'd be like the only constant in my life since Mom died.

(:- time skip –:)

Something grips my arm and before it can do/say anything I've got a gun to its head.

"... Skul remind me not to touch Kaz while she's asleep. It's scary, and since when have you had a gun much less know how to use one?" Val slowly removes her hand and crawls out of the car.

I run a hand down my face and put the gun in the back of my jeans as I get out. "Sorry Val, old habits die hard, sleeping in a car apparently kicked a couple back into action. The gun is always on my person, main reason I wear jeans, I just have other means of defence. You'd probably be surprised about just how many weapons I keep on my person. I used to carry more, but it's still more than strictly necessary." I stretch my arms over my head and yawn. I look around, "I thought we were going to the airport?"

"Skul needed to talk to Ghastly about something. Ask him when we get inside. I need to pack some stuff as is and I'm sure you do as well. Anyway, try me, while Skul's talking to Ghastly show me just how much weaponry you have on you."

"You sure?" I taunt her over my shoulder while walking into the shop.

"I am not a baby Kaz. I can handle it. And wipe that god damn smirk off your face. It's creepy." She pokes her tongue out at me while following me.

"Never! Hey Ghastly, how you been? How's Tanith?" I nod to Ghastly while looking at some of the stuff he has upfront.

"We're both good. Tanith's out back if you wanna say hi. Skulduggery's putting another order in. There's a few things so he's writing it out."
