The silence worried Kel but she could not think of anything to say, so in
their own thoughts they dwelled. As they approached the gates open with a
creak just enough to allow Kel and Dom to enter. Once inside Kel informed
him that all the horse handlers were in bed and that he would have to
unsaddle his own mount and carry his own bags up to his room. Kel offered
to help him with his bags but Dom did not respond he was lost in thought
just standing there and brushing his mare. Finally Kel had to hit him over
the head to get him to pay any attention. "Oh sorry Kel", Dom said
embarrassed, "what did you say".
"Do you want me to help you with your bags", Kel was slightly discouraged.
"Oh", Dom said, "no I'm ok". Picking up his bags Dom followed Kel towards headquarters. They went up the stairs and Kel walked up to the door, opening it she walked in, Dom followed.
"Here you go", Kel said suddenly feeling quite tired.
"Hey Kel I'm just curious where is your room, I haven't been in the new fort and just in case I need to talk to you", Dom asked sounding rather sleepy.
"Uh...Dom just go to the room next door if you want to talk to me, that's my room" Kel answered
"Who's idea may I ask was it to put me in this particular room" Dom inquired sounding slightly more attentive.
"I was Neal's idea, he didn't tell me you were coming until a few hours ago. He seemed pretty persistent that you stay here", Kel said yawning.
"I must have a little chat with him first thing after he wakes up" Dom said sounded angry this time. Kel was feeling tired and a little scared so she quickly said good night and hurried into her own room.
Why was Dom angry with Neal? Kel's mind raced, but some how she managed to fall into a dreamless sleep in the dark of her room. She woke only once before breakfast to pull an extra blanket out, the nights were cold and the new head quarters badly insolated.
Mean while next door in Dom's room sleep was no where to be found, As he lay in bed his mind raced, going faster than any of the owns mares. He had planned his entire week before Roul arrived, in one night he knew exactly how it would begin. First he was going to kill Neal, unless he has a very good excuse. It was to be possibly the most important week of his life and it would have to start right after Neal was dead ,he smiled at this thought, first he wanted to take a ride around the grounds, with Kel. "What am I doing", Neal said to himself, "she wont ever talk to me again if I don't do this right, am I ready to risk this friendship". This and thoughts similar to it ran through his head for hours, until the bell announcing breakfast rang from somewhere inside headquarters.
