Chapter Twelve
The next morning clouded with anticipation of rain. Siria to movement in the room, turning over she noticed the bed was empty except for her. She looked up and saw that Jay was putting on his boots. "Good morning, Jay"
"Oh hey, did you know you kicked in your sleep."
"I'm told that a lot. Jay I'm sorry I was cross last night. I have a lot on my mind."
"I know me to."
"Trudy?"
"Yeah...something likes that. Um, Siria, could you deliver a message for me."
"You want me to tell her that you miss her."
Jay nodded. He looked at Siria who was still lying in bed, her braids where messy. He smiled. "I think you better get ready."
"Well I'm waiting for you to leave." She grinned. Jay looked confused at first but catching the hint left the room. After he had left Siria hurriedly changed and grabbing her sack left the room.
When she left her room she could see Slade and Ebony, both where arguing. She was startled when Jay showed up next to her looking in the same direction.
"Ebony you're not going to the city."
"And who are you, my mother!"
"You know what happened last time."
"Well I'll be ready for her this time."
"What's going on?" Jay looked awkwardly at the two of them.
"Jay!" Ebony smiled sweetly. "I heard that Siria is going to the city and I wanted to with her...to protect her."
"WHAT?" Siria's eyes were full of anger as she looked from Jay to Ebony. "I am not taking her with me. I don't need protection." She finished her last sentence looking back at Jay who seemed to be in great thought.
"I think that would be a good idea."
"Jay, NO!" Siria looked pleadingly at him.
"Siria this would be good, amber knows Ebony so they wouldn't think you were with Mega."
Ebony looked triumphantly at Siria. "Well then, it's settled."
Siria glared at Jay as if he had betrayed her. She turned to Slade. "Slade could you give me...us a ride.
"Sure" Slade looked as disappointed as Siria felt as the three of them walked out of the saloon towards the red truck.
