Really short chapter and I apologise but it starts again in the next.


We hurried through the casino, looking around, before Sara stopped.

"Thank you, all three of you." She said. "Seth and I understand that you don't have to go forward with us. And yet, you choose to." Seth nodded in agreement and I brushed the hair out of my face.

"You're welcome." Alex said. "Don't worry, we'll get you home. I promise." She smiled before turning to Jack. "I'm gonna go upstairs, grab my stuff and we'll meet at the booth. Then we'll go to your cab-" Jack cleared his throat.

"Alex listen…I can't let you come with us." He said, leading her a bit away from us. "If what Harland says is true, it's way too dangerous." I snorted, folding my arms over my chest and tuning the couple out.

"Kennedy?" I huffed, turning around.

"I told you not to call me that." I reminded Sara and she tilted her head.

"Kenny, we really appreciate what you've done for us." She said. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her neck, hugging gently.

"It's fine. You guys are making this the best few days of my life." I said, drawing back before hugging Seth.

"Sure, great. Lay low. Easy. How hard could that be?" Jack asked as Alex walked away. I pulled away from Seth and sniggered.

"Pussy whipped." I muttered, ducking the swipe to the head Jack sent me.

"She thinks you're very handsome." Sara said, stepping up to him. My eyes widened and I buried my head in Seth's shoulder, hitting my forehead over and over again. "And smarter than you think you are." I groaned loudly as Jack asked if she was really thinking about him.

"Just as much as you were thinking of her." Sara replied and I burst out laughing.

"She didn't happen to mention that I was…" I clapped my hand over Sara's mouth and dragged her back ass a dude with four arms started calling out.

"Please don't feed his ego." I murmured as Seth grasped my shoulder.

"Space Expo Number Nine! It's upstairs, c'mon." The four arms shouted as an army of people followed him.

"Should we go upstairs now?" Seth asked. Jack nodded, still staring as I slipped my hand into the twins and we followed the crowd up the stairs and into a really clichéd space drama stage. I snorted, gaining confused looks from the aliens.

"What is this meant to do?" Seth asked as the actors started performing. Both him and Sara were watching with a look, half made up of awe and horror. I shook my head and jumped as Jack appeared behind me.

"Didn't I tell you to stay with me?" He asked.

"Is this an re-enactment of an important piece of Earth's history?" Sara asked me. I shook my head.

"No, c'mon, we gotta go." Jack said. I latched onto Seth's wrist and turned to go as Sara called Jack's name. Seth pushed me and Sara slightly behind him as the assassin from their planet stood on stage, slowly loading his blaster. Sara threw her hand at the lights and it swung down, knocking the alien into a screen. The crowd applauded, thinking it was part of the act, and Jack pulled us through the crowd and into a door. I slammed it shut, sliding the bolt into place, before Seth pulled me after them.
