When Sam put his arms around me, I was burning up.

" You're burning up, are you sure you're okay? "

" I'm fine. "

He looked at me, not believing me.

" Sam, we might have just saved your brother.."

I pulled on a smile.

" I'd say I'm pretty damn good. "

" Alright, let's get to a motel and get some sleep. "

I shook my head, pulled the keys from my pocket and held them out to him.

" No, you take her, I'll take yours. "

We went to the closest motel and checked in. I took a nice hot shower. Was I okay? Something wasn't right, but I didn't know what it was. I was getting dressed when I seen a big bruise starting on my arm, in the shape of a hand print. Where did that come from? I shook my head, then finished pulling on my clothes.

" So I say we go back to the bunker tomorrow. " Sam tossed his bag on the bed.

Before Jade could say anything, her phone rang.

" Andrew, alright, slow down. What's going on? "

Jade got to her feet.

" Okay, don't try to be the hero, I'll be there as soon as I can. " She ended the call.

" What's going on? " Sam asked, when she started packing her bag.

" Vamp problem back in Houstin, I gotta go. " She went into the bathroom.

" Where's Jade? " I asked.

" She just got a call, she's got a case in Houstin. "

" Okay, what's the big deal Sam? "

Before he answered, I clued in.

" Tell her you don't want her to leave Sam. "

" She has to go. "

" Maybe, but she also needs to know, that you don't want her to. "

I sat beside him.

" You let her walk away once, are you going to let her leave again? "

Jade rushed out of the bathroom, grabbed her bag then looked at me.

" I need to borrow your car. "

I hesitated, then tossed her my keys.

" One scratch Jay. "

" Thank you. "

She looked at Sam, then left the room. He hesitated, then went after her.

" Jade. "

She closed the trunk and looked at him.

" Sam, I have to go. "

" I'm not going to let you leave, until you promise me that you'll come back. "

Her heart skipped a beat.

" I'm not going to let you walk again. " He said softly.

" I'll be back in a few days. "

He didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her tightly, and kiss her forehead.

" Be careful Jade. "

" Always am. " She smiled.

He let her go and watched her speed off down the road. I smiled, leaning in the doorway.
