Chapter 2
Jenna couldn't take her eyes off of John. To her, this was almost like a dream…maybe a dream come true. I haven't seen him in over 10 years…why should I care that's back now? Jenna thought as she tried to hold back tears and not even realizing that the crowd was just looking at her, not knowing if she was going to sign again. "Umm…I'm sorry everyone. I'll be back in a little bit," Jenna said with a little shaking in her voice as she put down her guitar and ran off stage.
John knew that something was wrong as he saw Jenna hurry off stage, but he didn't know what to do. He hadn't seen this girl in over 10 years. So he just went and sat down at the table with Dorian and tried not worry about what was going on.
Five minutes later Jenna hurried to the back of the bar where John and Dorian were sitting. They didn't notice at first that she was headed back there until they heard a voice. "Well, well, well… can't believe my eyes. John Kennex is that really you?"
John then got up from the table to greet his long-lost friend. "Jenna, it's good to see you." John said and then hugged her, which was almost a shocked to Dorian since he had never seen Kennex act in this manner. John then introduced Jenna to his bot-cop partner Dorian. They shook hands and exchanged a couple of words.
"I can't believe that you're actually here," Jenna said with a half smile on her face as she tried to put her long brunette hair behind her ears. "It's been a while…"
"Yeah…I know it has," John said as he glanced back at her. "How are your parents?"
"They um….they died about 8 years ago. There was a shooting in the neighborhood and my parents were killed…"
John knew that she didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Oh. I'm sorry." Jenna glanced at him at half-smiled again. "It's ok. I'm just glad you're here. It was good to see you. I better get back up on stage." She hurried back without letting John say anything.
He knew something was wrong, and it wasn't just about talking and her parents' death. But John couldn't figure out what it was. "Come on," he said to Dorian and he hurried out the bar and into the street again.
"You're not even going to say goodbye?" Dorian asked as they kept walking. Kennex just shook his head. There was something he didn't want to admit…Something that had been troubling him for a long time…
