*Author's Note* I do not own anything! Jumper (c) 20th Century Fox (that includes David, Millie & Griffin)! I do own my original characters Leah (Jennings), Fred (Collins) & Zoey (Rook) so no stealies!

Ah, welcome back my friends! Welcome new readers who happened to stumble upon this story! There are two stories before this one (the first one in the trilogy being So I Jumped and the second one, Then The Pain Jumped In) and it'll make much, much more sense if you do read them!

Just a bit of fun filling, I guess.... oh, but there is slight forshadowing/hinting on what will happen... some of you may have already guessed what will happen, some of you may not... just enjoy this first chapter :3 That and review!


(Direct) Griffin POV

I couldn't sleep last night, even with Leah soundlessly sleeping next to me. So when the alarm clock hit 2:00 am, I was still lying there in bed. I stared at the red numbers, picking out each little rectangle where the light forms the numbers. I frowned, tossing the blankets up and getting dress. The small apartment was making me claustrophobic, I guess.

I gave one glance at Leah, my mind reminding myself of what happened when we were separated. I shuddered at the thought and jumped anyway.

We no longer stayed in the Lair, or at least never slept in it anymore, but everything was still here. We traveled around the world daily, always able to scratch up enough money to stay in a hotel that wasn't about to fall down. No, we slept in the ones that weren't going to fall down but they could be foreclosed just about any day of the week.

I scowled at the slow working computer, clicking the mouse furiously. Suddenly, accidentally clicking the wrong link, a ton of pop-ups flooded my screen. I inwardly groaned and closed each of them manually. Time to find a new laptop! I shoved my chair against the desk, making it bounce back an inch. I rummaged through my millions of papers, tossing random pictures of major Paladins aside. I smiled, pulling out my PS3 game controller.

I jumped to the couch when I felt the jump. My stomach turned, knowing it wasn't Leah. I glanced over my shoulder before I jumped behind one of the pillars in the Lair. I slowly peered over my shoulder, only to inwardly groan and physically scowl on my face.

It was David. Not just a David, but thee David. The one that left me in the power lines to chase after his pathetic human girlfriend and then rescued me from certain death. Great, just f***ing great! I would rather see an army of Paladins then him!

"Griffin?" He called out, standing in the middle of the room. I fought the urge to shove him out of here and beat the shit out of him, but I put that feeling back in its place. I didn't want to deal with him today.

"Griffin!" He whispered harsher, glancing around. I heard Millie.

"He's not here, David." She said, snuggling close to him. I could only scowl more now at the sight. I slightly gagged too.

"I guess… I could have sworn he just jumped here…" His voice trailed off, mumbling things I couldn't hear.

"I wanted to see if that girl, Leah, and him were alright- I figured at she would have tried to contact us through Fred and Zoey. Especially now that we found another…"

"Let's go, David! Fred will contact Leah soon!" Millie interrupted him. It took every ounce of self-control I had left, not to jump them both off the side of the Empire State Building. But, I would question them about "Especially now that we found another…" crap!

"Plus, I'm starting to feel kind of hot and sticky," Mille complained, yanking on her jacket. I heard David laugh and answer, "Let's go." He grabbed her hand and jumped away. I let a few seconds tick by before I came out of my hiding spot.

Yes, Fred (that idiot) kept in touch with David and Millie. Leah didn't express interest for the first few days after the building bomb, but as she found out Fred was keeping tabs on David, she immediately sparked an interest in her 'revolution' plan. I rolled my eyes, jumping into my chair. The computer was actually able to do what I wanted it to.

And so, we became a loose band of Jumpers and humans. I never met Zoey, nether has Leah, and I don't plan on it-at all. Though finding another jumper sparked a hidden feeling of curiosity but I knew two things for sure if it was a new Jumper.

First, he wouldn't be able to control his emotions for a hill of crap; there for not being able to control his damn jumps. And his fighting skills are probably worse than David, who relies on pure gut instinct. Not skills, which you do kind of need to rely on instinct.

Second, Paladins will be hunting him like crazy. That means more work for me and less time trying to convince Leah NOT to actually put her 'revolution' idea in full gear.

And that's all if I'm willing to actually make contact with this kid. I snorted at the thought- screw him, screw David! I don't need anymore people to worry about since Leah insists on seeing Fred and Zoey, I unfortunately had to put them under my mental 'Do Not Kill' list; Leah, of course, was number one.

For now, all I could care about is seeing that both Leah and I are alive the next day and not starving. I stifled a chuckled at my thoughts.

Look at me, thinking about someone else than myself. For once! Then again, I always wondered how long it would be before Leah is fed up of me, my- our lifestyle- and moves on. The thoughts depressed and angered me at the same time, so I thought of something different.

A new laptop. This world so damn small, my thoughts are buzzing in complete circles. I let my forehead drop to the desk and I sat there, as once again, my computer took it's f***ing time.
