Me and Jay climb down the tree. He puts the guard suit on.

"Sparrow? Before we do this I need to tell you something."

"What?"

"I love you."

I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"I love you too Jay."

He gives me a great big bear hug.

"I'm sorry that I have to arrest you..."

"It's ok."

I smiled at him.

"It's ok, oh wait I have an idea!"

"What?"

I bend down and scoop up some dirt and put it on my face. I start messing up my hair and then I tore holes in the knees of my pants.

"How do I look?"

"You look like you've been out in the wild."

"Perfect, now officer arrest me."

He frowns and hugs me again. Then he puts the cuffs around my wrists. Then walks with me into the clearing.

"I GOT THE GIRL!"

All the heads turned to see Jay in disguise holding my hand cuffs. I realized the would be curious so I started yanking on the chain. I screamed out

"Lemme go you crazy guard! Let me go!" I hit the armor and I hoped I didn't hurt Jay. He picks me up and slings me over his shoulder and starts packing me to the group of astonished guards. The guards handcuffed me and dragged me to the bulletproof van. If I'm correct it's the one I was in last time with an extra thing of steel around it. The throw me on the cot and cuffed my ankle to the cot like last time.

"Hey men lets rest before we take her to the castle. Who will watch her?"

Jay raised his hand.

"I caught her so I'll watch her."

"Fair enough comrade."

The guards walked out and Jay looked at me lying on the bed. My cuffed hands on my chest.

"So what do we do now?"

"Jay, I.... I don't know... Become my personal guard? I don't know."

"You know that's not a bad idea!"

"What?"

"I'll request to watch over you! I'll say that I have the most experience with catching you!"

I smile. He grins back. I scoot over and Jay sits down next to me. He wraps me in his arms.

"I will always be here. I love you Sparrow."

"I love you too, Jay."

I put my head to his chest and breathe in the smell of pine needles and burning wood. I raise my head up and kissed his cheek. Then I fell asleep in his arms.
