Chapter 4
"Ready, Anise?" He asked with a smile.
"Always", she replied. "But can we stop and get some takeout?
I have been hungry for Chinese food for weeks! You can't get the good kind in China."
"Deal", Adam chuckled, shaking his head. "Chinese food it is."
"Here we are", Methos said "welcome to my house. "
Anise looked around slowly and turned back to look at him
"It doesn't look like you she said but I guess that's to be expected."
"Yeah the Watchers would be real suspicious if they saw how I really like my decor."
She laughed, "The Watchers have never been known for their fashion sense." Chuckling Methos sat down and suddenly serious he said "I need to know why you were looking for me; are you in trouble, or am I?"
"Neither really", she said, "but I found your journals in the grave of an ancient watcher we were digging up. I recognized them as yours as soon as I saw them and hid them from the others. After I read them I realized how long it had been since I heard from you."
"When the dig was over I came looking for you, partly to give you the journals and partly to see if you wanted to be friends again."
"I'm glad" he said "because now I realize why I tried to forget you. It was too hard to remember that I had pushed you away."
"Don't regret the past, Methos" she said quietly "just look forward to a future full of promise."
"Now, tell me what you have been doing since I last saw you and all about those friends of yours."
As Methos began talking he sat back and relaxed realizing this was the first time he felt really happy since he joined the horsemen.
He knew he would do whatever it took to stay with his sister.
Family. He had a family now.
