After eating I take a shower. Jason was still on the phone when I came up to my room. I quickly shower so I can finish reading this book I got from the library. I can hear Jason talking when I lay in my bed. I shift my focus to the book and finish it in about thirty minutes.

"Jason," I open my door and call out.

"In my office," I faintly hear his voice. I run down the stairs and down the hall straight into his office.

"I finished this, could you drop it off at the library for me tomorrow?" I ask nicely with a smile.

"Yeah, you can put it my bag," he doesn't look up at me because he is grading papers. So I just drop it in his bag.

"Do you need anything?" I ask before leaving.

"No, but thank you," he looks up at me and smiles.

"Okay, I'll be in my room," I hug him softly.

"Okay darling. I'll be down here for a while if you need me," he hugs me back.

I walk back down the hall and up the stairs. I turn the tv on then turn my light off. I flip through the channels until I get to the history channel. One of the millions of documentaries about Hitler is on. I leave there then lay down. I cover up and watch tv until I fall asleep.

*******

I wake up to a knock on my door.

"Come in," I mumble.

"Good morning sweetheart. I made you some breakfast," Jason comes in with a tray that had a plate with pancakes, a small fruit bowl, and a glass of milk.

"Thank you," I smile and sit up. He sits beside me after handing me the tray.

"Did you sleep alright?" He asks.

"Yeah I fell asleep watching tv," I point to the tv and it's off.

"I turned it off. When I finished grading papers, I came up here to check on you. You were sound asleep so I just turned it off and went to bed myself," he laughs a little.

"Oh, well thanks," I keep eating.

"I have to go in a few minutes. I typed out a letter. Well DD helped, but we have everything arranged for tonight," Jason rubs my back softly.

"I'm still nervous about it," I sigh and drink the glass of milk.

"You don't have to be, I will be a few feet away and DD already has officers who will have unmarked cars around so they blend in. There will be people waiting in the bushes and some that are going to come around the store to wait for you to say 'Stop leave me alone,'" Jason explains.

"Okay, I hope this works," I get up and walk down to the kitchen with the tray.

"It will babe, I promise," Jason follows me, hugging me from behind as I rinse off the dishes I used.

"I trust you and DD and his task force," I say.

"Good because I do too," he kisses the back of my neck softly. It sends a chill down my back causing me to smile.

"Be safe," I turn around and hug him tightly.

"I will darling. You be safe as well," Jason holds me tight. I close my eyes enjoying being in his arms. I enjoy the comfort and safety he makes me feel.

"Alright, I have to go," he kisses my forehead. I nod and let go of him.

"Don't forget about my book," I remind him and load my dishes into the dishwasher.

"I am home," I hear Jason. I get out of bed and run to him.

"I missed you too baby," he chuckles a little while holding me tightly. I take a deep breath and close my eyes.
