Chapter 25th The Night Of The Romancing Prince
It was warm inside of her quarters. She had assumed it had something to do with being inside of the caverns. When she had woken and panted to wipe the sweat from her brow.
She was stiff from laying on the cot. Her arms ached from riding hours, her back hurt from the straining, as with her legs.
She wished she could really relaxed.
She had gotten up from her cot. Going to throw cold water on her face from the wash basin having been left for her.
She decided to check out the area further, or even go see if Nightingale was doing. No doubt he would be upset having to disturb him with his sleep. "Hell!; We are in this together. No matter what might happens."
It was extremely quiet right now having to be late. She assumed. Taking out her gold pocket watch checking it out with one of the lit torches.
Walking further into the caverns. She noticed a woman sitting in a corner with a rifle in her hand watching. Thinking. Must be a guard of some type.
When she walks over to the woman with black hair. She had to be in her early forties at least. She was wearing black pants and a western type shirt. No hat. Her black hair was in a pony tale to show her facial features.
She looks up at Janice. Wondering why she was here in the first place.
"Hi. My name is Janice. What's yours? " She asked trying to to pry too much.
"I am Josie. I am Jeb's friend from way back. He asked me to join this outfit a few years back. No doubt your met Jeb awhile ago on the food line. He tends to be a bit of a slob at times, however he has a heart of gold. He won't hurt a fly unless provoke."
She could believe it. "Thanks for the information Josie. Tell me something, if you don't mind me asking. When is the real attack supposed to begin with all that dynamite that I heard was being brought to the front today?" Now she really was curious with having to ask the question.
"Don't know at this time. It would be Nightingale's decision and his friend to give the order to attack the palace and try to take it back over." She said with confidence to someone she doesn't even know. But had heard the rumors about her from others.
