Chapter: 2 -strange-
To Sam's surprise, the captain greets her with a smile and says, "So, what reasons do you have?"
Sam looks at him and says, "He has not served you for very long, I know, but in the time he has been here, he has never shirked his work, and has always bean polite. He also has saved you before. Or do you not remember the time?"
the captain gives Sam a glare that could kill, and says, "I do remember."
Sam gives him a cold smile and says, "Well then, what better a reason than that to let him stay?"
The captain then says, "I don't care what people do. Unless it is disobeying orders. In that case I will act accordingly."
Sam then ways, "Doesn't someone saving your life have any affect on that?!"
the captain gave her a long glare and then said, "That is the only reason I am considering letting him stay."
Sam getting extremely annoyed then says, "well! There are a lot of people out there. None who have bean half as dedicated to there work as Jacob."
the captain stared at sally then gave a laugh and said, "You are right Sam. They have bean a hundred times better than Jacob. Not just half!"
The more Sam got to know him, the more he reminded her of Linc Slocum.
Sam looking very irritated says, "Captain. You know very well what I meant. And I am getting nothing from you but childish answers. So I have nothing to do here. Good bye."
the captain looks at her and says, "You may leave."
Sam looking back as she was leaving, then said, "I would have left with or with ought your permission sir."
the captain looked very irritated at Sam but before he could say anything she had left.
She walked back to her friends and found them talking about what was happening in the office.
She walked over and they both at the same time said, "well?!"
Sam looked at them for a moment before saying, "I don't know.."
The three friends all look at each other wondering what to say, then finally Pam says, "Well how did it go anyway?"
then Jen says, "Yeah... how did it go Sam?"
Sam looked at her two friends and said, "Well I was quit annoyed with him... But I stayed for awhile to try and reason with him."
"Then?" said Jen, her blond braids and glasses making her look like a excited schoolgirl.
So Sam said trying not to laugh, "Well, he was getting really annoying, so I left."
Jen looked astonished at Sam then said, "Okay."
Pam then looked at them both and said, "Well... I guess..."
Jen looked at Pam and said, "You guess what?"
Then Pam said, "Well there is a lot of reasons we should not defend Jake.."
Jen then piped back up, saying, "Yeah! Remember when he threw those apples at us?"
Sam then said, "Yes, but we were also only five..."
Jen looked at her and said, "True..."
Sam then said, "The reason for keeping him here is because he has never done anything wrong in his job. And no matter how nasty he has been, which isn't very much, he has done his work. Therefore he should not loose his job. I think I would quit and go back to Navada with him if he did. I miss Ace, and..."
Sam left the sentence hanging, and there were no words needed, everyone knew who, or rather what it was.. The Phantom.
Jen and Pam looked at Sam then said, "Well... I suppose your right."
then Jake walked up to them and said, "Hey brat. The captain has told me that I may keep my job, but I must never disobey orders again, or I will loose my job... permanently."
Sam looked at him, the thoughts of not going back to the phantom saddened her, but she loved it here, no matter how nasty the boss was, and said, "That's great!" her years of acting classes in school and collage making her look happy.
then Jake said, "Bye." and walked away. He had probably used up his quota of words for today. Sam laughed at her thought.
