Sky did not even blink a moment as Jack fled the scene in hurried, emotional steps. Syd and Bridge watched on with some regret for their friend.
"You know it's not he really even knows her." Sky turned to look at Z. His gaze once more sharp and brutal. "How much did you really know about her Z?"
His voice full of mockery. He was absolutely sure that no one knew the truth . . . well . . . but he was not going to go there. He'd been over this whole series of events and that was enough time wasted. Z on the other hand merely shifted from her feet before stating:
"Let's go Syd. I have to make sure Jack's okay." Z switched the cd she was listening to, with one hand, and opened the passenger's door with her other.
Syd nodded her head and said "I'll be there in a minute," then focused on the two boys. Her plastic features, concerned with the actions of both Jack and Sky.
"So i guess we'll be meeting you back for the debriefing?" It was stated as both a question and an answer. After neither of the boys spoke, she left them. Bridge staring there feeling guilty and Sky happy as a camper that he'd finally caught the one person who was not worth anything.
All the way back to the base Sydney attempted to strike up a conversation with Z but Z was not in the mood to talk. Z stared out at the buildings and people they passed by. She saw two older teens playing tag with their little sister. Z shook her head.
"It couldn't be helped." Her voice came out as a soft whisper. "We did the best we could now it is completely up to the officials."
Even though she was one of them now, she still was wary of trusting them. Them and their black white hand book.
Man I told him this would happen but he didn't listen to me. He just never could walk away from her.
Bridge felt guiltier than guilty. He could not even begin to describe the feelings that ran through him as he watched her turn into a card and then see his partner snap out at Sky. The feelings of anger, guilt, frustration, despair all were illuminating off of her. It was almost too much for him to handle. If he hadn't learned how to build some defenses . . . Not that he had been wrong. Oh no, Bridge was beginning to see a twisted plot unfold in front of him. If only someone else would realize that. He put the pieces together in his head.
First, Jack and Z had known all about Kiana...hmm and then two, the vengeful attitude that Sky held could only mean there was something between them, Kiana I mean...
Maybe it was Bridge being over dramatic but he could see the plot thicken and now it was up to him to help Jack find a way to save his best friend. Without harsh consequences.
Sky scoffed at the situation before him, as he walked down the halls of SPD Academy. Gracefully making his way to hand over Kiana. He held extreme disappointment once again in Jack's behavior.
How could it possibly be that he could and would blindly defend Kiana? After all-
His thoughts were torn from him as he bumped into another cadet. He didn't have time to play around. He hissed and the teen scattered, petrified of him. He couldn't wait to get to the catalogue room and dump his cargo.
Finally entering he found no one there so he did the cataloguing himself. Leaving a message that he had stopped by and dropped Kiana off. Checking his watch he still had three quarters of an hour before the debriefing...
I am building up so this chapter was a lil short but the next one will be way longer. Lol
