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.
