Chapter 15
A smile crept over her face. "Greg?" she asked, her voice trembling.
I stepped out of the shadows. "Jamie," I whispered, loud enough for her to hear.
She stared at me for a moment, eyeing me cautiously. I couldn't really blame her after the way I'd taken off earlier. She reached to her neck holding her dog tags in her hand, as I did. "It's really you?" she asked, well, more like verified.
I nodded, stepping closer. Against my better judgment, I hugged her, wrapping my arms around her, holding her close. At first she felt nervous but relaxed into my arms. She pulled away a little and looked at my dog tags. "You still have them?" she smiled.
"Never take them off," I admitted, grinning. "I'm sorry I ran earlier. I just…" I stopped. I don't know why I ran. I had no excuse or reason for it.
"What was that?" she asked, sitting beside me on a bench.
I sighed, "I wanted to copy your book… I guess ghosts don't go swimming, huh?"
She laughed. "You read my book? I guess you know, then, that it's based off of you. Hell, it's dedicated to you."
I reached into the pocket off my coat, pulling the book out. "Yeah. I never knew you were alive. Adam showed up at a crime scene the other day, he shot two of my friends, Adam was killed. He said something about you being alive, which I didn't believe at first but I had one of my friend's search your name and they came up with an author. He sent me a picture and I knew it was you." I explained.
She shuddered at the mention of Adam's name. "They told me you were dead, that you and your father had killed each other. I was always wondering if it was true since no bodies were found of either of you. I woke up in the hospital a week after he shot me." She rubbed her shoulder as she continued. "Morgan and McKenna survived, miraculously, and I was released two months later. I was shot three times, once in the shoulder, once in the chest, that collapsed a lung, and one grazed my neck. I was lucky." She explained.
Again, I hugged her. "I'm sorry. I was right there. I could have stopped it, stopped him from hurting you." I said.
"There was nothing you could have done Greggo," Jamie said, hugging me back. "Where have you been since that day?"
I sighed. "Vegas, I'm a C.S.I. for the LVPD. You were close with scientist." I grinned.
"What? No lab rat?" she teased.
I shook my head. "I was a lab rat, head lab rat actually. But I moved up to C.S.I." I explained. "You've been pretty successful too, I see. A writer, like you always wanted," I smiled. "Looks like we both got what we wanted"
"Almost," she sighed, leaning against me. It felt like we were kids again. Back when life was simple, or simpler.
I raised an eyebrow, "What was missing?" I asked, not catching on.
She laughed. "You."
