Following The Footsteps
Chapter Two - The Lady
Fifteen years after Xin Ru Si Hui, Max and Zack's daughter goes off on an adventure of her own, and finds out some startling news.
~~
When the woman fainted, Jonay's first reaction was to catch her, but she couldn't catch her properly because of the kitten in her arms. So she managed to half catch the woman with one hand, and lower her to the ground.
Jonay knelt down next to the woman, and rolled her onto her back. She saw that the blood was coming from a hole in her side.
'Could be a bullet hole,' Jonay thought as she pulled some material off the inside of her trench coat and wrapped it around the woman's stomach.
"Lucky mum and dad made me take that emergency first aid course last year," she muttered to the lady, "Now all I have to do is figure out a way to get you to a hospital."
While Jonay was thinking about this, a man walked around the corner and into the alley. He was tall, with curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. He looked around, and his eyes found Jonay leaning over the woman. He rushed over and knelt down on the other side of the woman.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I don't really know. She came around the corner, said a few words and then she collapsed."
"She collapsed? Any idea what from?"
"The hole that she's got in her side."
"The what?!?" the man cried, looking over the woman more closely and seeing the bandage that Jonay had wrapped around her. "I have to take her home."
"How do you know her? And she needs a doctor. She has to go to the hospital!"
"She's my sister. And my friend can look after it for her. She'll be fine. Thank you for looking after her... what did you say you're name was?"
"I didn't."
"Well thank you then miss."
"My names Jonay."
"Jonay?"
"Yeah. What about it? You knocking my name?"
"Jonay Guevara? As in Max Guevara's daughter?"
"Why? Who are you?"
"I'm a friend. Look, are you or are you not Max Guevara's daughter?"
"If you must know, I am."
"Then I think you need to come with me."
"I don't need to do anything. Especially since you won't even tell me your name, or why you wanted to know mine."
"You need to come with me because your life is in danger."
"Yeah, like I'm going to believe that one. That must be the oldest trick in the book."
"I'm telling the truth. My sister was probably hurt by the same people that want to hurt you."
"How do I know that you're not the one who wants to hurt me, and how do I know you're not the one who hurt her?"
"You don't. But you have to trust me."
"How can I trust some one I have only just meet? That's impossible, I just can't do it."
"You have to 210."
"What did you just say?" Jonay eyes widened as she screamed at the man.
"You heard me. I am correct aren't I? That is your number isn't it?"
"How do you know? Even my parents don't know, so how could you?"
"I have my ways."
"Tell me or I'll leave now."
"Alright, no need to get angry. I didn't find anything out; it was her that did. She told a little about you, so that if she were hurt I'd be able to help you. Which is why I'm here."
"What do you mean help me?"
"I can't say. She'll tell you when she's ready."
"Why can't you?"
"Because she want's to tell you herself. Now help me get her up will you?"
Jonay helped the man lift the woman up off the ground, and then watched as he carried her against his chest. He had walked to the alley way before he realised that Jonay was not following him. He turned around and looked at her, beckoning her to follow him. When she didn't he called out to her.
"Jonay. Come on, we need to get her back to my apartment. Jonay!"
"Who are you? Please will you just tell me? Or else I'm going home right now. My mum and dad are probably worried about me."
"I told you, I'm a friend. Now come on, it's a fair way to walk and we need to get there as soon as possible."
"I'm not going anywhere with you until you at least tell me your name. I'd also like to know how you know my mother."
"I've told you, I can't."
"Fine then. Good night."
With that Jonay turned and began walking toward the other end of the alley way. Before she got far, the man called out to her.
"Jonay. Wait a minute. Please?"
"What? Have you finally decided to tell me you're name?" Jonay asked as she turned around to face him again.
"Well..."
"Come on, I haven't got all night."
"Your mother is my sister."
"What!"
"She's my sister."
"Does that mean that you're my uncle? And that that woman is my Aunt?"
"Yes, I suppose it does. I didn't think of that."
"Well then, uncle, would you care to tell me your name?" Jonay almost hid the frustration and sarcasm in her voice, but the man picked up on it.
"Well, my dearest darling niece," he replied, voice loaded with sarcasm, "Why don't you come with me and then I'll tell you my name."
"Because I want to know your name now."
"Are you always this stubborn?"
"Are you always this evasive?"
"I don't know, nobody's ever asked me that one."
"Well why don't you just answer my original question and then you won't have to answer that one."
"And what was the original question?"
"You know very well what the original question was, so answer it now!"
"Would you kindly please tell me again?"
In his arms the woman stirred, and opened her eyes. She looked up to see who was holding her and smiled.
"Just tell her who you are big brother," she said.
"Alright, but only for you. Jonay, my names Krit."
~~
Well there you have it Krit's back. Still wondering who the woman is? I would have thought that it was pretty obvious by now. If you don't know however, I ain't going to tell you now, you'll have to read the next chapter. And I don't know how long its going to take me to write that cause we have sooooo many assessment tasks due this week. But we had our year 10 Formal last night (Friday 20th). It was sooooo cool!!!!!!!!!! I loved it in case you didn't figure that one out.
Thank you to the people who are reading this and reviewing it, I just love reading what you have to say.
