Chapter Four

John put Bryan to bed and pulled a cot out of the closet and some extra blankets and pillows out as well and went to bed. The next morning she was woken up by a frying pan, she got up and ran to the bathroom and started to get sick. "Want some eggs and beacon?" he asked through the bathroom door, but her response was more puking, she walked out of the bathroom and sat at the table. "How out of it was I?" she asked, "Oh not that bad, you just told a guy he was shallow" John answered, she looked at the clock and saw it was 11:00 in the morning. "I'm late for work" she said getting up, "I called in for you, you've got until noon to come to work" John said putting scrabbled eggs in front of her. Bryan stood up and ran to the bathroom again, when she was done she came out "Are you done?" he asked. "Yeah I think that was the last of it" she said going to the bathroom cabinet and took out the aspirin. "Remember not to let me drink that much ever again," she said filling a cup of water and popped the aspirin in her mouth. "I don't blame you for getting drunk, your good for nothing father didn't show up," John said eating the scrabbled eggs. "I'm going to work early, I'll see you down there" she said helping him out of his chair and out the door.

"Adam, I heard you didn't show up, where were you?" Bob said over the phone, "I got held up with business" Adam said on the other end of the phone. "That is no excuse, now Bryan is going to come down those stairs all pissed and work on the car you and your friends damaged" Bob scolded. "I'll pick up the car myself and then I'll tell her who I am" Adam compromised, "Fine, she does fast work so be here around 2" Bob said and hung up the phone.

Bryan walked down the stairs and walked to were Kathy posted the assignments, "Bob, I refuse to do Mr. Kane's car" Bryan yelled. "You have to, you're the only one who's not busy doing a car" Bob replied from his office, "I'll show you to busy" she said starting to walk over and rolling up her sleeves when John stopped her. "As your friend I suggest you not to do that" he said, "Why not?" she asked, "Cause he'll fire you, you'll lose the apartment and I'll be a very lonely mechanic" John answered pushed her to Mr. Kane's car and handed her the tools she needed. Bryan stuck her tongue out at him, "You'll thank me one day" John said with a laugh and walked to his car, she checked the engine and that was still charged. She changed the oil, fixed the dent and repainted a part where there was a scratched. "Are you ready to go get some lunch?" John asked walked up to her "You ate eggs a little less than two hours ago" Bryan answered. "I know, besides it's your turn to buy lunch and we're going to McDonalds," he said. Bryan held her mouth and ran to the repair shop bathroom and started to get sick again, "You're not getting out of buying me lunch that easily" John said through the door. "Go upstairs, in my bag there should be a couple dollars" Bryan answered in between pukes. "All right, I'll bring you back something" he said and walked to Bryan's room, a couple minutes later Bryan unlocked the door and saw John walk out of the garage "Works like a charm" she said to herself.

She finished working on another car and saw that the man she ran into last night walked in and knocked on Bob's door. Bob led the man towards Bryan "Bryan I want you to meet someone" Bob said, "I can't talk right now, I have to go to my other job, my week off is over with. We can make this up later" Bryan said walking away and up to her apartment, "Where is she going?" Kathy asked walking over. "She is going to her other job" Bob answered, "Aunt Kathy," yelled someone.

"Bob, I want you to met-" she said, "Jesse, what are you doing here?" Adam asked, "I'm visiting an old friend of my mom's, what are you doing here?" he asked. "Oh he's visiting his daughter well trying to visit" Bob answered for him, "You're visiting who?" asked three more people from behind them. "Oh you guys didn't know?" Bob said going a little red, "Hey where is Bryan?" asked John walking in. He saw looks on people's faces "Did I come at a bad time?" he asked, Bob smiled "Actually, you are just on time, we need you to go get Bryan from her room" Bob said. "Ok, we'll be back in a minute" he said walking upstairs," Are you sure he can be trusted with a girl in an apartment?" asked Brennan. "Oh yeah there is nothing to worry about him, they are just friends" Bob answered

Bryan opened the door "John, since when do you knock?" she asked, "We have a problem" he said walking in, "How so?" she asked closing the door. He held up his hand and it showed all the people downstairs, "Uh, who are all those people?" she asked. "Well one with the long black coat is calming to be your father and the others are-" he started. "Shit, those four on the ones who kidnapped my astro self" she said, "Go to work, I'll stall them," he said. "Come by the Boot later" she said and orbed out, John walked downstairs.

"Sorry, but she already left" John said coming down the stairs, "Do you know where Bryan's other job is?" Bob asked. "No, sorry" he said walking away, "Hold it mister" Kathy said, John stopped and turned "I know you know where she is working, if you don't tell me your not getting this weeks paycheck" She threaten, "There is a club called the bolt, its about five minutes away. Now excuse me I'm going to go and prepare myself from Bryan, cause I know she's going to kill me" he said and walked away.

"Mr. Eckhart sir, we followed the two back to a Bob's repair place, she is an employ and lives above the shop" said on of the soldiers. "Good, don't attack her yet, kidnap her first and when you do bring her to me. I want those powers that her beloved friend put in her when he died" he said and looked at the soldier. "I believe I gave you orders, so go and don't fail me" he said and turned to look out his window.
