Chapter 25

The Reason

She said her vision were a bane in her life
She could not control them, they kept her up nights
I know what you're thinking, I haven't been drinking
She knew things that cut like a knife - and she said: All the years that have come to pass
And all the years that shall be
I see here right before me...

Nolan woke up with a snort and I saw him struggle in the chair we had him sitting in. We had tied the ropes on his hands to the back of the chair, "You hungry?" I asked softly, turning to the cabinet and rummaging through it, "We have some... oooh, I wonder how old this is...?" I put on a mockery disgusted face and pulled a Cheerio box out of its spot. "Hmmm, the date says its still good..." I turned back to Nolan, his raspy breathing had lightened up and the lump on his head wasn't as noticable. "You want some? Can I trust you?"

Murphy soon strode in the room and rested a hand on Nolan's shoulder, a lopsided smirk on his face, "Oh, I think ye can." He said as he flopped down on the chair next to Nolan. Murphy rested both his hands on his stomache and slouched back, "Aye?" Nolan glared at him but painfully shook his head up and down. "That ah boy!" Murphy cried with a slap on Nolan's back. He winced and a curse escaped his lips, it wasn't at all audible.

"How about you Murph?" I asked with a flicker of a smile. "I feel nice right now, so I'll make what ever sounds good and what I have in the fridge."

His green eyes glimmered and he tilted his head, as if remembering a long lost memory that had stumbled in his lane, "Hmmm, well since yer offerin'... how 'bout an omelette? Oooohh with some ham an' cheese in it..." As an after thought he said sweetly, "Please?"

"Sure," I answered cheerfully.

After breakfast, it was time to get down to some serious business. Nolan. "Well, ye see..."

"Go on with it," Murphy insisted, he sat cozily next to me on the couch while Nolan still stayed tied up to the chair. We had placed him infront of us and the interigation was just begining, I could tell by how Murphy was staring at him intently. Their eyes looked so much alike.

"I wasn' actually there ta 'elp 'im... I was goin' ta kill the bastard mehself," Nolan confessed, he watched us with his eyes. He was really keeping an eye on Murphy, lets just say they didn't start on the right foot.

"What?! Are ye mad?" Murphy coughed in disbelief, "Whater ye thinkin'? Ye could get yerself killed!"

"I... know that... but I thought I could help... in some way..." Nolan stole a glance at the floor, his hair letting off a reddish hue from the lamp in the corner of the room. Murphy laughed at what Nolan had said, he could barely catch his breath by the time he was done, "What's so fuckin' funny?"

"Help? By getting yerself in shit?" Murphy asked shaking his head, "Let the Saints do that job of clearin' the filth, not a citizan such as yerself!" I glanced at Murphy, the not so clean human himself. Since he was one of the Saints... speaking of which, where was the other? Murphy suddenly wrapped an arm around me, causing me to let out a squeak, "Then lass 'ere can walk 'round freely, knowing she's not goin' ta get raped or murdered." Oh... that's nice Murphy...

I tried to shove him off but, of course, it was no use. So I gave up with an annoyed sigh. "Well," Nolan scoffed, "Meh plan would 'ave worked if that woman 'adn't whacked me over the 'ead!" I glowered at him and I felt Murphy tighten his grip on me.

"Don' waste yer time killin' 'im lass," He coaxed and I let out another irritaited sigh. So it seemed that Nolan wasn't as big of a threat as we thought he would be and hopefully he wouldn't ask too many questions. He watched us almost longingly and he then lowered his head to stare at his lap.

"Ye two seem like a 'appy couple." My eyes grew wide and Murphy snickered. Nolan looked back up at us again, a scowl on his face. "What now?"

"Ye really think so?" Murphy put on an award winning smirk, "I keep tellin' lass that but she never listens." I rolled my eyes and once again sighed in annoyance.

Murphy had left to do some 'errands' so I was stuck with the raspy breathing Nolan and Connor who finally showed himself when his brother was gone. "Where have you been?" I asked looking over a novel that I wasn't really reading, I had myself sprawled out on the couch and I was starting to doze off.

Connor didn't answer me but gave me an odd look. I stuck my tongue out at him like a child and went back to the novel that I wasn't really reading. He sat down by my feet and I glanced over the book again, "What?" I asked a little snootily. Connor looked over at Nolan who was watching very carefully at what was about to transpire.

"Don' get yer 'opes up buddy," Connor growled giving him a sharp glare, Nolan dropped his gaze. Connor turned back to me and gently placed a hand on my anckle. It sent a tingle up my spine. "I wanted ta say... I'm sorry fer catchin' ye off guard with that... well..." I knew Connor couldn't get himself to say it and I understood.

I sat up and smiled at him tenderly, "It's okay..." I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.
