Chapter Five
The next two days passed with hardly a word spoken between them. Siria stayed on the roof, absorbed in her thoughts and cooking. Jay lounged on the couch. One morning Siria descended the ladder and grabbing a coat from the corner, walked towards the window. Jay stood and began to follow.
"Where are you going?" Siria questioned.
"You don't think you're going alone."
"Yes. Yes I do." Siria put one leg outside of the window. Then Jay grabbed her arm.
"You can't keep me here."
"You wanna get caught! What ever Mega wants with you he's likely to still be looking." She pulled herself free.
"And you, don't you think he'd like to have you back as well?"
"Not as badly." With that Siria climbed out of the window and down the fire escape. Jay was looking down at her.
Siria walked through the market. She hadn't done this in long time. Trading for apples and bread Siria was unaware that many of the people were looking at her strangely. Earlier that morning many of the traders had been informed that price would be given to anyone who knew were Siria was hiding.
As she walked back to the Fire Station, Siria was attacked by two Technos. Siria recognized them immediately, but before she could react they had grabbed her. Facing the ground Siria couldn't see, but heard the rushing of more footsteps coming closer. She expected to be dragged off, but instead the weights of the soilders were lifted off of her. Siria turned to look at her rescuer.
"JAY!"
"You're Welcome"
"You're supposed to be at the Loft." Looking down at the two unconscious Technos on the ground Siria grabbed the food next to her feet.
"Look you can't keep me in that place forever."
"Well, yeah I can't.NOW!"
"What. They don't even know where the Loft is."
"And.They'll be searching this area forever. The Loft is only a block away."
"But."
"Shh. They're waking come on." And running down the alley, they disappeared before the Technos could see where they had gone.
When they had got back to the Loft Siria immediately threw the food on the ground and glared at Jay. "I can't believe you!"
"What are you talking about? I saved you."
"NO.you put yourself in danger what could Mega possibly have done to me?"
"He could have killed you."
"So.you think I don't know that. You were supposed to stay here."
"I have my tribe to go back to."
"Fine, you do that, but I know Mega is watching your precious Mall and when you go back he isn't just going to take just you, he'll take your special Trudy and all the other damn Mallrats. Then he'll dump you all in a hole and watch you DIE!" Jay stared at Siria in disbelief as she grabbed a backpack and began packing things into it. Pulling the pack on to her shoulders Siria threw a black hoodie in Jay's face. "Come on." She mumbled irritably.
"Where are."
"Away." Jay slipped on the hoodie and climbed out of the window after Siria. He was afraid to argue.
