Chapter 3 : The Verdict
Twenty minutes later, Jesse was still sitting in front of the computer screen; seemingly lost in his thoughts. He is unsure of what to do but he knows that if he doesn't do what his heart tells him to do; he might live to regret it.
Finally as if his mind has been made up; he gave a heavy sigh and crouch under his bed to take a small suitcase.
Hang on Grandma, hang on; Jesse's coming home.
--------------------
"Jesse, are you sure about this?" Shalimar stared at her brother. She knew Jesse inside out and his naivety to trust people so easily was his bane that always never fail to get him into trouble.
He looked at her in the eye and nodded. "Grandma Libby was the only one who cared about my well-being after my parents divorced. She knew Genomex was a bad idea." he shook his head sadly. " …but she was powerless. I'm closer to her than I ever was to my own mother! It's been almost eight years since I last saw her and now…she's…she's dying, Shalimar. I think I owe her that much to come and see her."
She sighed, "So you've made up your mind then. You're really going?" A nod. " Have you told Adam?"
He looked at her sheepishly and shook his head. "Not yet."
She lifted an eyebrow. "And why not?" She gave him a hard look. Realisation dawned on her . " Oh no… you don't; you're not asking me to tell him on your behalf are you! Jesse!" She hit him on the shoulder.
"Please Shal, I'm already wasting precious time plus…I don't think he'll approve." He pouted and gave Shal his best 'puppy eye'. "Pplleeaassee!"
Shoot! He hit her soft spot. "Fine! But you owe me one and I won't be responsible for what he would do to you." She folded her arms. "How long will you be gone?"
He gave her a quick hug and a peck on her cheek. "I don't know…give me three days…I'll call to inform you if I'll be staying longer." He made his way to the garage door. Before he left, he stuck out his head "Thanks, Shal; I appreciate that."
"Yeah, yeah whatever…get going already!" Shalimar said her goodbye. As he closed the door and the roar of the car faded, she sighed. Now comes the hard part. Explaining. She took a deep breath and made her way back to Sanctuary, particularly to the lab. "Oh Aaddaam!"
