Martin turned to Ra. "Now the mood has been killed. Wanna just go
to sleep?" he asked. Ra nodded. He turned over and he wrapped her in his
arms. He kissed the top of her head, then her lips. "Night, my love," he
whispered, before closing his eyes. Ra smiled, it was what he said to her
each night, and it never failed to bring a smile to her face.
Pride roamed the streets, too restless to go back to the mall. He couldn't believe that his feelings for Trudy had been discovered so easily by Zoot. He had fallen hard for her when she reformed and returned during the occupation. Many thought he had been hiding his feelings for Amber behind his relationship with May, but that wasn't completly true. He still cared for Amber, but not in the all consuming way he once had. Then he got with Salene, who, he loathed to admit, reminded him of Trudy.
Then Trudy and Amber returned, and he distenced himself from Salene, and she of course blamed it on Amber. So, Pride thought, how was it so easy for Zoot to read Pride's feelings for Trudy? Then it came to him, Zoot had loved Trudy too. He recognized the signs. Pride stopped pacing as he remembered the girl that had been with Zoot, there was something oddly familliar about her...
Trudy sat up suddenly when she heard a noise fill the mall coming from the sewers. Fearing it was Zoot coming to take Brady, she jumped up and grabbed Jay's old zapper. She left him sleeping like a baby in the bed and she rushed out to meet the person. She waited and waited until the person finally came into view. As the person was still in the shadows, and Trudy couldn't see very well, all she saw was Zoot's jacket and izap!/i she fired. The unconcious figure hit the ground with a loud thump, hitting the security wire that Jack and Dal had installed so many years before.
A loud ringing filled the mall as the alarm went off. Jay rushed out of their room, fearful when he didn't see Trudy. Amber wandered out of her room holding a crying Brady and Baby Bray. Brady screamed when she saw the jacket, trying to get away from Amber.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Brady called, as she finally got out of Amber's hold. She rushed over to the prone figure, turning it over only to see a different figure than the one she wanted.
"What's going on here?" demanded Lex, almost tripping over the figure. He looked down. "Ra?!"
