"So Jesse, who do you work for?" Jesse had finally given up his name, he
didn't know what time it was or how long fox had been pummelling him, all
he knew was that he was aching all over from his arms and wrists and the
lack of blood supply to his body through to his legs there wasn't an inch
of him that hadn't come under fox's assault,
Jesse had broke down and shouted out his name when fox had run a knife slowly across his cheek deep enough to run blood, Jesse looked up at fox's face then down at the knife glinting in fox's hand still tipped in his blood he shut his eye's and tried to shut out the pain that was coursing through his body fox saw Jesse "oh no you don't, I want to know who you work for?" fox smiled at Jesse who looked fox right in the eye [don't do this please] fox didn't catch the plea in Jesse's eye and began again to run the blade across Jesse's other cheek just below his eye, Jesse looked across at Erica, anything to take his attention away from the burning pain that was running through his cheek.
As he looked she turned away she felt sick and sorry for ever bringing him to this place, to fox but she had wanted the answers she still did, so she persevered but she felt sure that fox was enjoying himself and it scared her, then he shouted out "please, I'm a member of mutant x please, stop" her stomach dropped she felt sick, she had never heard a man beg before, and she prayed that she would never hear it again,
She looked back again at the scene she felt sure would make her vomit, fox had removed the blade Jesse's cheek was bleeding as he hung his head and tried to compose himself, but she could see that he was fighting back any tear that threatened to fall,
[Poor kid, he's beat, I have so many questions that he may have the answer to, I didn't want the guy damaged this much, I just.. oh god what have I done, but I have so many questions, what's mutant x, why am I so different, I'll get rid of fox for a bit Jesse may talk if I try the gentle approach, I'll send fox out],
"Fox I'm hungry and tired, lets carry on tomorrow he's not going anywhere" Erica walked over and placed her hands on fox's shoulders giving him a quick squeeze, he sighed and stood up, she glanced down at Jesse who looked back up at her, a look of relief washed over his face maybe even thanks, "yeah sure Chinese ok for you?, back in a bit don't let him out of your sight" fox said and pointed at Jesse then turned to Erica placed his hand gently on her cheek then left.
[Now's my chance to try and get him to relax a bit, he may warm to compassion he's had a rough night,] she knelt down in front of Jesse and laid her hand on his lap, she felt him flinch to her touch, she didn't like the feeling it made her feel evil [it wasn't me, he doesn't have to fear me, well actually yeah he does, I brought him here] she sighed and removed her hand "would you like some water?" she expected him to swear at her or just plain ignore her she wasn't expecting the polite if shaky answer that Jesse gave her a simple yes please, it caught her off guard it made her feel unsure of herself and she didn't like that feeling either,
But she pulled herself together and got a glass of water and some cloths and antiseptic to wipe his face, she gave Jesse a drink he looked wary of her again but thanked her "what now" he said glancing down at the plain clear bottle by her legs she caught his eye and looked to where he was looking [great now he thinks I'm going to drug him!, wait cut the guy some slack], "now we clean you up" she smiled at him trying to hopefully to put him at ease he gave a half smile back and relaxed, he thanked her again once she had finished cleaning his wounds, they were still open but they had stopped bleeding and she had cleaned up the blood that had run down his cheeks,
she looked at the mess fox had made [why did that seem so easy for him, he's cut him really badly, but it's my need to find out about my life so lets give it a shot my way], "hey look I'm sorry about fox, he just gets carried away with my need to know the truth," she paused and looked at jesse who looked back waiting for her to continue, "we were in a car accident we don't know what happened, but when we woke up neither of us knew anything about our lives, so we stuck together but creeps in suits, and now you and your friends keep following us, I just want to know answers" she looked at him he looked deep in thought his blue eyes fixed on nothing then he looked at her he looked as though he was just about to answer when fox returned and Jesse returned to looking away,
[Damn it] Erica got up and met fox at the door "hey I'm back did ya miss me? I got your Chinese, he didn't try anything while I was gone did he?" fox said stepping closer to Jesse who raised his head and looked stubbornly into fox's eyes [come on buck up jess what would Brennan say! Hey what would Adam say!] Jesse tried to psyche himself up for another bout, but luckily fox sat down on the settee and got his supper out and began to eat, Erica sat down next to fox and began to eat also [man I'm starved,] fox just looked over to him "think again, get some sleep we will be spending more time together tomorrow," he smiled slyly at jesse who in return turned his gaze away from the eating couple alotugh it did nothing to stem his hunger he could still smell it, [Great sleep, I could use some but in the company of these two he's just a maniac and she, well lets just say she won't win me over anytime soon, come on Adam you gotta show up sooner or later] Jesse leaned his head back against the wall it relieved some of the pressure on his arms but he wasn't going to sleep any time soon.
Hey keep up the reviews let me know what you think ,and hey I've got a beta reader so hopefully the next chapter will be a bit more grammar friendly and a bit more Shalimar focused!
