-Chapter six: what is chasing you

After a delicious diner filled with laughter and stories of Bisclows and Vanders prank wars last week. Jo decides to call it a night and bid every one a good night as she entered her room she did her nightly routine. The minute her head hit the pillow she was out like a light. As the clock on the night stand by her bed ticked 7pm.

In the first floor living room

After the table was cleared, every one did there nightly routines but around 10 they all migrated in to the living room. As the family got comfortable with Arman and Faren playing a game of chess while having a late night whiskey, in matching light blue velvet chairs, near one of the many large windows. While Em and Cobra settled in behind the coffee table and hanging TV on the large fluffy light tan couch for a racing video game. Kaleb was lounging in the book nook with his glasses on and a small lap blanket, on the left side of the glass doors that lead out to the patio and personal beach. Bix had also called in an early night since he had a bit of jet lag. As Lucy settled in to her mates lap on the soft tan leather recliner to the left of the sofa. The sweet blond notices that Vander is un-characteristically quiet as he sites side ways in the matching recliner opposite to her. When her blue pools mange to cache his wine red eyes she finds a slight hint of worry in them that is covered by his mischievous smile. Being the sisterly figure and very pregnant women she was, she sat slightly up and said in a inquisitive and slightly worried tone, "Van, what's wrong?", the smile on Vans face was quickly replaced with a light frown and more worry pooled in to his eyes. He sat up in his chair and stated loud-enuf for the whole room to hear him.

What if the shadow council finds out she can jump," Em stopped the game in thought so did Arman and Faren even Kaleb seemed to ponder on this for a moment. Cobra knew the answer but knows his kin should be the one to share her secret not him, but Zens face was turning a slight pale color. He knows Jo would hate to see a man she considers her brother like this so he stated.

Listen close cause I'm only saying this once, that dick wad court can not sens her when she jumps, night", with that he walks out of the room. All that could be heard in the room was the soft echos of his feet thumping up the stairs.

Once Cobras words set in Faren took a sip of his drink, looked in to his fathers slightly shocked face and said , "Is that even possible I thought the court rules using the demons in the shadows and thus see everything, how could they not know about her," Em's steady voice countered.

He never said they didn't know about her, just that they can't sens her when she jumps."

But what could that mean? Is she with them? Is that why she lives in the middle of the wilderness?," Van questioned

We will just have to ask her tomorrow", Zen states calmly the color returning to his face. While the room had cleared of his family Kaleb set his book on the shelf above his head in the nook . He thought back to the conversation he and Jo had in his office after a recon job, about her Lunaya giving birth here as appose to her home as her payment.

Flashback

Jo was standing in front of his dark oak desk in hiking boots, white cargo pants, a white tank top, a large white coat with silver trim draped over her shoulders and her signature hair in a braied-bun under her Victorian hat in a shade of white with silver rhododendrons ( strength). she slid a thick file on to his desk and stood straight, as Kaleb picked up the folder his loose white shirt shifting. His light violet eyes widening then squinting in concentration, he was always pleased with Jo's work it was thorough and clear to understand. As he placed the folder in to his desk a slight smile graced his plump lips. With this information he could finally get the king to raid the mage trafficking ring in the city of Marcella. As he dragged his hand through his silver main with exhaustion as he took a quick glance at the dark lush night past his french doors and porch. Opened his top desk drawer and stood to give the curvy, medium height women a small package.

As always ôme your work was exultant, it will be of the utmost help to the people in those rings", Jo gave him a bashful smiled and waved off the package, he raised his eyebrow at this.

Thank you , but", she squared her shoulders tilting her head up a bite to meet her diamond gray eyes with his violet ones, " I would like to discus a different form of payment, I have a pregnant Lunaya in my care and I would like to have her give birth here in Bosco.,"

Are you sure, that is a small payment compared to the price listed for the assignment", Kaleb said slightly confused as to why she would ask for this as payment, when she runs the best animal sanctuary in the world.

Yes I am sure," Jo said not a single emotion sliding from her mask. Kaleb leaned on the front of his desk then brought his right hand to his lips and his left around his torso thinking about the pros and cons.

Why do you not take this jobs payment and by the equipment for the birth.", The pale women shifted her weight from left to right barley noticeably he could tell she was debating telling him. then she seamed to have mad up her mind Kaleb pushed off his desk.

I have made some enemies over the years and *deep breath* I need extra protection for my Lunaya and her cubs. Also as you know Lunaya's pelts can go for millions on the black market add to that she is also under my care and very aggressive while pregnant. I do not like to admit this but I need some where that is more secure and where if something goes wrong.…with the birth.", Jo stated with a stoic voice but Kaleb could still tell by the way her hand trembled just a centimeter, that this was not an easy thing for her to ask. The violet eyed beauty took a deep breath as he thought thru her statement, ' am I prepared to bring this danger in to my guild', he thought. Then he looked deep in to her determined eyes that never gave any hint of emotion. 'this women has helped me in tremendous ways more than I probably know. She has went in to many dangerous recon, retrieval, even assassin missions for me. Never asking for anything more than her fare payment, even when I offered more she refused. So.

Alright you have the guilds services and protection, we can work the details out later if you like I am sure you are itching to get home after two months away", Kaleb's smooth voice said . Jo nodded her head in thanks and slipped out of the office to wish his assistant a good night.

End of flash back

I hope the shadow court is not the enemies she was referring to' Kaleb thought. His tan muscular build filling the doorway to his modern styled blue and gray room, as the moon is shining thru his window. Making his silver king size bed with matching blue night stands look that much more inviting. 'I will ask her in the morning' is his last thought as he slips in to bed and falls in to a light sleep.
