Chapter Twenty-Nine
*King Of Shadows*
Jade opened her eyes and yawned sleepily. She sat up and an arm reached out, pulling her back down underneath the covers and holding onto her tightly.
"It's too damn oily ta get up," muttered the owner of the arm.
"Aw, c'mon Spot," Jade said, turning around so she was facing him, "We're goin' ta Manhattan taday, so we'se gotta git up!"
"No tank you," Spot mumbled, sliding his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him.
Jade sighed contentedly, like a purring cat.
"See! Youse don't wanna get up eithah!" Spot said jokingly.
"I nevah said dat I did!" Jade said in mock-offense.
They lay there for a few minutes longer before Jade finally sat up again. She threw her feet over the side of the bed and stood up, grabbing her clothes and pulling them on.
"Up!" Jade said as she tore the blanket off the bed.
Spot glared at her, "Damn goil," he grumbled, smiling.
He got up and put on his clothes, asking, "Why are we goin' ta Manhattan taday?"
Jade turned away from the brushing her hair in the mirror (Spot had gotten a replacement for the one he had broken) and faced him, answering, "I wanted ta go see Angel, but youse don't have ta come if ya don't want to."
"Naw," said Spot, "It's okay."
The two walked out of the lodging house and off towards Manhattan, stopping at the distribution office and getting a small amount of papers to sell on the way.
"When was the last time we went ta Manhattan, anyways?" Spot asked after selling one of his papers.
"Umm……"Jade stopped and thought for a moment, "I tink it's been at least two weeks."
Spot nodded and they kept walking.
They reached the Manhattan lodging house a while later and Jade tip-toed inside, sneaking up to the bunkroom so that no one knew she was there.
"GOOD MORNING!!!!" Jade screamed at the top of her lungs when she was in the bunkroom.
"Shit!" Racetrack yelled, his eyes growing wide, "What da fuck was dat?!"
"Mornin', Race," Jade said grinning.
"Damn, Jade, do ya have ta be so loud?" Jack groaned, stretching.
"Yup," Jade said nonchalantly.
"So," she asked upon seeing Angel's empty bunk, "Wheah's my sistah? Is she already in da bathroom?"
Jack's face fell, "Uh, Jade?"
Jade eyed his pained expression suspiciously, "What, what's wrong?"
Blink sat up in his bed and it was obvious that he was exhausted from lack of sleep.
"She ain't heah," Blink said quietly.
"What do you mean 'she ain't heah'?" Jade asked, her voice rising in slight panic, for her and her sister had become very close over the last couple of months, and they were like best friends.
Blink looked at the floor guiltily, "We went ta New Irving Hall last night, an' Angel was helpin' Medda out back stage," Blink paused and took a deep breath, "Medda said dat Angel went outside foah air an she nevah came backinside."
"An' you didn't go lookin' foah her?!" Jade demanded.
"We tried!" Blink said defensively, "We looked everywheah."
"So she jist disappeared?" Jade yelled, incredibly frustrated, "You have no idea wheah she is?!"
"Well……" Jack started.
Jade whipped around so she was facing him, "Well what?" She asked impatiently.
"Medda found dis not ting nailed ta her back door last night, but we don't know what it's supposed ta mean," Jack said, handing Jade a folded slip of paper from underneath his pillow.
The paper had been closed with a black wax seal, and Jade looked at it curiously for a moment. She opened the paper and read the message, which was written in perfect calligraphy, out loud.
"A promise made is a debt unpaid. Signed, King of Shadows."
AN: Heh heh heh………….Okay, well, a sequel is eminent, but that should be pretty obvious. So, hope you all liked this story and are looking forward to the sequel!!! Oh, and by the way, the line "A promise made is a debt unpaid" was taken from the poem "The Cremation of Sam Mgee." Alright, I totally guess on the spelling of "Mgee"
But, um, I ain't gonna write the sequel unless y'all review!!! I REALLY want lots of reviews and since this IS the last last last last last chapter I am BEGGING you to review!!!! Please!!! This was my first story, let it be one for the books!!!!!!
