As the now soaked Jesse and Cal made their way back to camp, they could see Chris and Julia sitting round a fire both holding each other closely. Cal was hesitant to go near the pair but was convinced by a equally worried Jesse, "Chris i wanted to say..." Cal began but was cut of by the small man, "its alright as long as you don't do any sort of sick thing like that again also i kind of purposefully annoyed you" Chris told him before turning to face Jesse, "we don't quite trust you Jesse, but if you can re earn our trust we will be friends again. Now stop standing around and sit down". As they all sat down by the fire, Jesse began to shiver from the cold, She heard Cal moving behind her but didn't know what he was doing, Suddenly she found herself being pulled into a bear hug by Cal who was now shirtless, Jesse blushed wildly at what Cal was doing but still he was warm so she didn't try to get away, one because she knew it was hopeless to try to escape and two he was surprisingly pretty warm.
"Africa" Cal said quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear, "What?" Julia asked confused. "Africa, it is my birthplace and considering all we've been through you deserve to know what i'm doing in America" Cal told them before beginning his story, "My father was a odd fellow, always moving, however he had a bit of a violent side meaning that he got in trouble with the law a lot. Eventually they shipped him to Africa to die in the wild, however he was found by a large tribe called the Warra's. They were a peaceful lot, and let him stay once he proved his worth to the group. This is were he met Tikki, she was the most kindest and beautiful woman in the tribe. One night during a party, they slept together and later discovered that she was pregnant with a child, both where extremely happy. A long time later the boy was old enough to hunt for himself, his father became the negotiator for the tribe and everything was good. It was until the oil men came. They took our hunting ground from us and killed anyone who came near their precious machines. One day the boy made a stupid mistake and killed one of the workers angering the oil men, they then used that incident to wipe out the tribe once and for all. They raped, pillaged and massacred the boys people while he was fishing, no one survived." A single tear rolled down Cal's face, "I was that little boy. The saddest part about me killing the tribe was the children, I used to be able to play the guitar perfectly, the children of the tribe used to come over to me while playing and say "Rafiki, Rafiki? Play string wood Rafiki! After the massacre I swore to kill everyone involved with it, and if I didn't find a purpose after that then I would kill myself". The others didn't dare to say a word to the man, instead Jesse hugged him tight never wanting to let go.
"You're not the only one haunted by demons" Chris said as he looked up into Cal's only good eye. "I used to be one of the worlds most greatest detectives, until I screwed up bad. We were chasing a serial killer and cornered him on a roof, where he had taken a little girl hostage. I screwed up and spooked him, he fell with the little girl and both died. I was transferred to America in order to try and get my life back on track".
"Same here" Julia chimed in "my original family abandoned me because of my unnatural red ends and I was an orphan until I was adopted, I then fucked up big time when I accidentally killed my brother, I've been running from it ever since"
"I'm a bit like you guys" Jesse whispered like a mouse hiding from a predator "My parents are actually rich snobs who wanted me to marry off to some rich person so that they can receive a lot of money from it, so I ran away from them." Jesse felt safe in Cal's arms he was like a big soft bear. Suddenly he tended up and slid her off of him, as he stood up he grabbed something on his neck and removed it, "fuck" he muttered before collapsing to the floor, in his hand was a weird dart.
