Chapter 3: Something's not right

"So there you are. I have been waiting here for an hour and a half!" Jeremy said Impatiently tapping his foot as a tall sleek Japanese woman walked toward him just outside the train station.

"I'm sorry the train was late getting out of..."

"Oh never mind that, were are behind schedule already." The large blond said as he mounted up on his new Motorcycle.

Yumi followed suite and was soon behind him her Long strong legs rapped around his waist as they roared down the highway.

With her legs around his waist Yumi had her hands free and she let her hands out to her sides like wings. She loved this part, The sensation of the wind rushing over her and catching her hair, the lift she felt up under her arms it was almost like she was flying. Ever since she was little Yumi always wanted to be an angle, to have those big Beautiful wings to fly, she always wanted to help people, and to be something so good and pure she always wanted that.

"Hump, just look at me now." she said to herself "Just childish fantasies I suppose, was so Naive so innocent, Time to grow up Yumi she told herself and she put her arms down and leaned against Jeremy's back as a small tear made its way down her cheek. a gesture of grieving for lost innocence I suppose.

That part of her was dead and the past with it, all those hopes and dreams tarnished and faded she was here now with Jeremy and... and... there was nothing more to think about on it she told herself as they continued down the busy highway towards Paris.

A couple of hours later...

"I'm sure you will be very happy with your room Mr. and Mrs..." The receptionists paused "Smith" the hotel receptionist said as Jeremy slipped him a couple of large bills and the bell hop gathered their luggage and up they went in the elevator.

A couple of moments later the Door was opened and they stepped in. It was an ninth floor room with one queen sized bed a small wooden desk , in a kind of run down old in Hotel on the southwestern part of Parris But still it was Paris. However the real kicker was the large balcony Over looking the city.

So what Unfortunate club are we hitting tonight?" Yumi asked as she flopped down onto the bed with a loud "Squeak" beside of Jeremy leather saddle bags.

"Not tonight" he replied.

"Yumi sat up resting the majority of her weight on her elbows a sparkle in her eye. "Really?"

"Well let me rephrase, the club ANAX here are well um too big and well guarded, and after our other little raids for a direct assault would be suicide here. Also I haven't been able to find all of the information on the internet like i was hoping, so we will have to use this place as a base of operations for a little while ,while we research and plan out next attack, I do have an inside man here in Paris and i was hoping that you would meet with him tomorrow and help us with little "natural exchange."

"Sure" Yumi replied without even thinking about it falling back onto the bed.

"Good, that puts us back on schedule then." He said coolly as he opened the side door to the bathroom and stepped inside to shave and clean up a little."

However Yumi noticed an unusual Amount of worry in his voice especially for something so simple as an exchange of information this wasn't the first time she had acted as a go between for him and this job form what he had already told her didn't sound that hard. But as she watched him brush his teeth and shave she couldn't help but to think that something was wrong there was something that he wasn't telling her but what that was she couldn't know as she lay in thought upon the creaky old bed.

It was dark when jeremy finally got out of the shower and Yumi was standing on the balcony in nothing but a black bathrobe. She was leaning against the right Iron hand railing, her bare feet feeling the chill from the old stone floor balcony staring out at the lights of Paris. It had been forever since she had been here, the city of lovers, and maybe that would be what it took to get the sparks flying between her and jeremy once more so she met him at the bathroom door.

Gently she put her hands on towel hanging around his trim waist and began to playfully tug at it letting one side of her bathrobe slide off of her shoulder.

Much to her Surprise she was meet with "Not tonight Yumi, i have other, more Important things i have to do." and he brushed her to the side as he began to dress.

Yumi hung her head in defeat as she made her way back out to the balcony, pulling the shoulder of the robe back up as the late Octobers air chilled to the touch, Just like Jeremy's anymore.

"I've lost him, I've lost everyone." she silently cried within and to every star in the Paris sky. My love cant save him" as she stood there alone awaiting the Unseen menace ahead.

Jeremy looseing that lovin felling who would have thought it? Well almost to the good parts of the story so hang in there everyone (To all 8 of my readers this means you) to the rest of ya lets hear whatcha think about it.
