Chapter # 9

...to put the bread in the oven.

Silence. He hated the silence. Mice made more noise then them. Biggs sighed and looked out of the small cell window. Okay. So they had done it. It, the deed, whatever. The point is that it was a mission. Just a mission. Nothing more. It helped that she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. And that includes all of the striking Xs he had met over the years. But breaking the rules wasn't an option. Just look at what happened to Alec. Nope, it was better to simply finish the job and not get attached. His eyes wandered inches above of her stomach.

He couldn't see the object of his curiosity since her shirt currently covered it. "What?" she asked noticing the direction of his gaze. "Uh...nothing. I just. what was that thing on your stomach?" She smiled at his interest and innocent question. "You mean this?" she said as she lifted her shirt, revealing a small Japanese symbol.

"It's a tattoo. I got it in New Orleans after a mission." Biggs walked closer to her not looking away from the small figure.

"They actually let you keep this?"

"True. If they knew about it, they wouldn't be too pleased. That's why I got it on my stomach, so nobody would see."

"It's Japanese, right?"

"Yeah. It means strong"

Without thinking his hand reached up and caressed the symbol, the warm touch made her shiver.

"Sorry," he said nervously. "It doesn't bother me." He glanced up at her and grinned at her welcoming smile.

"No way!!!" Ben scoffed. "I'm serious!!" Jondy responded with a giggle.

"How was I supposed to know you can't flash the guards during a drill. I was only 16. Besides, the job was to distract him and I did!!" Ben's laughter grew as she started to pout.

They spent the whole night talking, avoiding the fact that Renfro was going to kill them if she found out they didn't do anything. "I told you mine, now you tell me yours."

"I don't think so."

"Oh, come on! I told you one of my most embarrassing moments, now you have to tell me your story!"

"Not gonna happen."

"I have ways of making you tell me." she looked at him daringly. "Oh really?" "Really," she said as she lunged herself at him, tickling his chest and his back making him cry out with laughter. Seizing the opportunity, she pined him down to the floor and used her strength to prevent him from moving. "Okay, very funny. Now let me up."

"No."

"Jondy, stop kidding around."

"Not gonna happen!" she said mocking him. "Fine, you win! I'll tell you if just let go of me." "Too late for that, buddy! That's not enough now!"

"What do you want?" He resisted the urge to lick his lips as she grinned down at him. "Say uncle!"

"What?"

"Say uncle!"

"I'm not going to say uncle."

"Ok. Then say 'Jondy is the smartest, prettiest and funniest X5 I know'." He smiled and then repeated, "Jondy is the smartest, prettiest and funniest X5 I know." Jondy didn't move. The two stared at each other, smiling. "You do realize that you're still on top of me?"

"Yes I do."

"Alright. Just checking."
