Samantha looked up from the maps when her brother came in. He either didn't see her or was just ignoring her. He walked over to his bed and sat down with his head in his right hand looking at his left.
"Jack." She called quietly.
He didn't stir; he didn't do anything to show he acknowledged her.
Sighing Samantha got up and sat down beside him.
"What's going on little 'bro?" She asked putting an arm around his shoulders.
Jack quickly covered up his hand with a piece of cloth, but it was too late, Samantha had already seen.
"Sis," he said quietly. Before Samantha knew it, he was in her arms, "what do I do?"
"I-I don't know." She whispered in his ear. "You're doin' what I would do."
"It'll keep coming after me," he looked at his left hand, "until it catches me." He sat up, still looking at the black spot on his palm.
Taking the cloth Jack had used to try and hide the spot, she gently wrapped it around his hand.
"Get some rest lil' brother, savvy?" With that said she grabbed his bandanna and slid it over his eyes.
"OY!" He yelled.
Samantha laughed and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Uggg! SAMMY!" Samantha laughed again and went to leave.
"Oh, and tomorrow I'm going back to me ship." She called over her shoulder.
"Sisters." Jack mumbled to himself.
