LEGACY
CH: 13: - The Morning In The Town
The rest of the night was complete blur to Marie who went into the bed immediately after the supper they had. Strangely enough, Jason decided to sleep on the floor next to her bed completely dressed and alert to at any sound of the danger. Marie instead chose to change and prepare for the bed and before she closed her eyes she could not sleep at all for she knew he was so close to her even on the floor living and breathing no matter how dangerous he seemed to her.
Jason was aware of her that she was not asleep at all and it did not bother him at all. She was watching him he was aware of that no matter she refused to say she had any curiosity near him or even close to him but still respected his personal space. She tried to stay calm and try some sleep but he was sure she was way off tired than she seemed to him. Marie had not complained when he changed her hair color now it was dark chestnut in the color with the red tints that only appeared and disappeared on the certain hit of the light.
"Marie?" He called to her and she stopped moving in her bed. "You do not have to pretend that you are asleep when I know you are not. What is it bothering you now?"
Bourne heard her move in the bed and then sighed slightly as she spoke quietly and honestly for she knew she could not hide it for him and better to tell the truth.
"I can't sleep." She admitted honestly and Jason smiled from somewhere in the dark hearing her speak.
"How come? Is it the new bed or you are not just tired or you are awake only because you want to talk to me?" He asked again but he already knew the answer.
"I am not tired," Marie replied." I really up for some talking."
"Marie we can talk tomorrow but right now you need rest and the last thing I would need you to fall asleep at the mission I am about to give you tomorrow morning and I know it will be not easy one but you must do it."
"What mission?"
"Not now Marie go to sleep." He said and she grabbed the spare pillow and sat up throwing it over the rail of her bed at him and lied down.
Jason dodged the pillow easily and shook his head slightly hearing her talk.
"Some talker you are Bourne." She muttered under her breath and then she was asleep, as he remained a moment or so awake, then fell asleep as well.
Marie woke next morning but someone shaking her slightly to wake up which she did so and found Jason standing over her completely dressed and ready to go.
"Good morning, get dressed we are leaving and I am sure you are eager to do know what the plan is it." He left her to dress up which she did so she came down the steps into the kitchen where he was awaiting her in the silence.
Finishing her coffee in the silence he came to her closer and took her watch and checked the time to see if it matched his own and then they were off to the city again and this time she was one who was doing the work for him. They went the separate ways and he told her that he will watch her closely and she had to work on her own. Any sight of the danger she will leave immediately and not turning back or even look behind her for safety measures. He will call her at the noon, which meant she had at least three hours to work on her own and she did what she was told.
So far the things went well and there was no danger as she looked through the newspaper dealing with the bathroom murder and so far the police had no lead who was standing behind murders and there was no lead and the finger print was left behind that would give them some lead and around noon Jason called her as he was said he would do. He had a view of her clearly from the spot where he was and he could see her whatever she was doing at the moment.
"What are you doing?" he asked her as she kept looking through the material she had gathered dealing with them both.
"The newspaper are saying about the murder in the Paris in the hotel where we were staying few days ago and the police have the body but so far they had no lead but it is only a matter of the time before they find the lead. Do you think they would come after us?" Marie asked slowly but got no reply but silence from Jason. "Bourne?"
"Stay where you are, I will meet you in the moment." And with that he hung up.
Something was not right and he could feel it no matter he knew that the danger was not that far way. It was always too close when waited for the right moment to strike and for now Marie was on the target no matter where she was and without him she was in the great danger.
