Almost a week after leaving her job she was locking her door & heading for the airport to begin her life in Titan. Why was she so nervous? She almost felt like she did when she was 16 & heading into WCW. She did one last check over things before loading her bag into the car & hopping in herself & taking off.

The flight was quite & uneventful giving her a chance to catch a quick nap. It was a short hop from Philadelphia PA down to Tamp Fl. Getting off the plan she goes to pick up her rental she reserved last week. Walking to the counter she sets her bag down. The woman behind the counter was more focused on her nails then her job. Jade waited a few minutes before issuing a small cough knocking on the counter top. The person looked up as she popped her gum.

"Can I help you?"

"Aye, here to pick up a car I placed a reserve last week. Last name Lindsey."

"Oh...on minute." The girl faintly pouted her lips as she pulled her chair to a computer typing in a few things. "Nope no Linsey, got a #"

Jade rolled her eyes just having a feeling it was going to be one of those days. "Aye, 38256A4"

The girl punched in some more things. "Nope, nothing sorry. Sadly we are currently all out so I can't even offer you something else."

Aye I bet you're sorry to brainless twit. "Aye sure no probs, I'll get a cab..." Shakes her head as she grabs her bag rolling it out side, a faint grumble as she sun hits her, she quickly slips on her shades as she flags a cab. Damn of all places for Eric to start me at bloody sunny Florida. Land of no clouds, except during hurricanes. Hmm I wonder if even then... A beeping sound clears her from her rant as a cab pulls up, the driver gets out & helps her load her bag into the trunk. Sliding into the back seat.

"Radisson Tampa please."

"Sure thing mama." She closes her eyes for most of the ride till the driver informed her they were there. She opened her eyes paid him & then got out removing her bag.

"Oh well here we go." She entered & walked up to the front desk to get her room. She waited as they checked. As she guessed they couldn't find her. She had them check every combination she could think of, Even check other Branches. This was nuts & it wasn't getting any better. Shaking her head she thanked the clerk as she turned to move from the desk to figure out what to do next.

Can't get a break for nothing I hope this isn't a warning of trouble to come. As she is looking through her purse to find her cell phone & her contact information she hear a voice that nearly jumps her out of her skin. Even though the voice was questioning not menacing.

"Jadie? That you Runt?"

Man I hate that name. She looked up from her searching a smile on her face as she saw Kevin. Before she had time to fully react he was already there giving her a big hug Nearly lifting her from the ground. She still thought at times he didn't know his own strength, yah right. "Ok Ya big lug...Put me down." He laughed as he set her down.

"So what you doing here girl?"

"They can't find my room." Kevin looked a bit puzzled.

"I didn't mean why you in the lobby...I meant what you doing down here instead of home?"

"Oh...New job."

"Not 'him' again." Jade only faintly nodded. "Girl I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

"I do."

"Yah you always claim that. As for not having a room, come on." Walking around her he grabbed her bag before she could protest. "We can call booking from my room." He headed off for the elevator leaving Jade with lil' choice but to follow him.
