I half listened to Jake while he explained where they had located to Max, I
had better things to think about than this. Like how I was going to kill
Chase, I turned and glared at him. But he didn't even notice me he was to
absorbed in what Jake, his uncle was saying.
"...Yancy I want you to get out there and capture her right away, this is your last chance. If you mess up, you'll be terminated and someone more callififed will take your place." Jake said smiling revealing his stained teeth from to many years of smoking.
I nodded and was about to say yes sir, but Chase butted in, "She can't go, she's hurt. If you hadn't noticed she's been shot."
"So was I, but look at me I'm up on my feet." Jake said as he chewed on his cigar.
"I don't need a keeper Chase so stay out of it." I growled.
He gave me an all knowing look, the kind that drove me crazy. The kind that said you're just a girl what do you know?.
"If you could actually take care of yourself you wouldn't be here at Manticore lying in a bed." Chase said very gently, saying it as if I was to stupid to understand.
I felt my cheeks begin to burn with anger, but before I could erupt Jake broke in saying. "You're right Chase my boy, you can go with her." He then turned and left, smiling all the way.
I crossed my arms over my chest and tilted my chin up stubbornly. "I'm not going any where with you Chase Summers so you can just forget it. I'll catch Max on my own. Besides, I thought you hate Manticore." I smiled sweetly knowing full well that he was getting extremely ticked off.
"Your not going anywhere without me Yancy. I may hate Manticore, but I don't hate you and I won't lose you. So we're going to catch this 'Max' and then you are going to get out of this business." He said frowning down at me.
"Don't tell me what to do!" I cried, I've always had a problem with authority figures.
"Someone has to before you get yourself killed!!" He was leaning over me now his hands on either side of me, blocking me from any sort of escape.
Then without warning he kissed me. His mouth covered mine silencing any more protests, he forced my mouth open and swept his tongue in to claim my mouth. Chase's tongue gently glided along mine sending shivers down my back. I felt his finger gently tilt my chin up and I gave in wraping my arms around his neck. But as soon as I did so he regained his senses and ended the kiss, leaving me stunned and speachless. He pulled away and frowned down at me, all I could do was sigh.
"Be ready to go tomorrow, I'll pick you up around eight." He then turned and left, leaving me alone with my thoughts which was a dangerous thing.
