After the two vampires had gone to ground and the pair were officially on the road, however, Sookie was feeling much less certain.

After going home for a change of clothes she'd had to endure another lecture from Tara and Lafayette about staying out of vampire business, not to mention what Sam had to say when she'd told him she wouldn't be able to make it in for her shift that evening.

"Nervous?" Jason asked as they drove towards Shreveport.

"A little," Sookie confessed, "but it's just reconnaissance, right? We find out where they are and then come back, simple as that."

"Yep, easy as falling off a log," Jason agreed with forced cheerfulness.

"You're really worried about her, aren't you?" Sookie asked after a long moment.

Jason looked at Sookie sideways, "Yes," he replied with more honesty than Sookie was expecting. "From what I could feel last night…" he shook his head, "I'm amazed vampire Bill was able to think straight because it was driving me crazy," he confessed. Jason adjusted his hold on the steering wheel, "I just hope they didn't hurt her too bad."

Sookie put a comforting hand on his arm. "We'll get her back, Jason, don't worry."

Jason favoured her with one of his cocky grins, that didn't quite meet his eyes, "The good guys always win, right?"

Sookie gave him a small smile in return, "Something like that."
