An update for all my lovely readers & reviewers out there! Thanks for all the reviews they mean everything!!
Kate jumped up "Shit" She said hurriedly diving for her underwear which was somewhere over the other side of the room.
"Someone's been a naughty girl huh Carrie?" Sawyer chuckled slowly.
Kate didn't say anything, she just continued to dress hurriedly, nearly falling over in her panic.
"If you don't mind me saying Freckles" He said, the presence of the police outside his apartment door obviously not bothering him at all. "Just how do you plan to get past that little crew outside?"
"I hadn't thought that far yet" She admitted, pulling her tank top on quickly as she searched for her sunglasses.
"Well luckily for you, I have" He said getting out from the bed, tying the bed sheet loosely around him. "Get in the wardrobe"
"What?" She said, with a look on her face which could be described as something like 'are-you-insane?'
"Don't worry Freckles" He said "I'll get rid of them"
Kate hovered for a second unsure of what to do, after a minutes reasoning, she decided that she didn't really have an option, the window was out of the question as they where over 5 floors up, the only door with the police outside. She opened the door and climbed into the wardrobe.
"That's it Freckles" He said softly, his tone almost reassuring as he shut the door leaving her in complete darkness.
A million thoughts ran through Kate's mind, could she trust him? Hell, she didn't even know him! Had he worked out who she was? Had he called the police? Was all this just an act to get his hands on her 'price'? Kate did have to admit, she did fetch a pretty big price. She felt a sweep of guilt as she remembered the last man who had found out about her generous price-tag, he wasn't a bounty hunter like others before him, just an old widowed man his farm failing because of how poor he was… he had nearly died because of her. Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind she decided that all she could do was wait.
Sawyer tightened the loose bed sheet around his hips a little tighter, no doubt the thin sheet was slightly see-through, but Sawyer wasn't one to be bashful.
He opened his hotel door to reveal a good 5 officers stood outside it.
"Well hell boys!" Sawyer joked "Can't say I've done anything to have this pleasure!"
"Do you own clothes?" One of the officers said, rather disgusted.
"Well yeah, but after a nights entertainment they can be sometimes a little hard to find" Sawyer said smirking "If you catch my drift"
"Yes… well" The officer said clearing his throat "We have reason to believe you may know the whereabouts of a certain Katherine Austen"
"That dark haired chick on the news?" Sawyer asked.
"Yes, we have reason to believe she was in the same bar as you last night, if you have any information it would be helpful… if you catch my drift" The officer said.
"Well yeah, as a matter of fact I think I might" Sawyer said, a story already forming in his well worked con-man mind.
"And?" Another officer spoke up eagerly.
"Well the chick I got me last night, maybe a little younger than me blonde hair, blue eyes, sounds like a looker but she wasn't much… anyway" Sawyer said, satisfied he had described one of the lesser amazing women in the bar "Well this dark haired lass comes up to us, asking if she could borrow ten dollars, needs a taxi to take her to the train station"
"And?" The first officer prompted.
"Well she was much more of a looker than the one I had, I offered her a ride anywhere" Sawyer continued "She said thanks for the offer but she was heading south, up to Wyoming, wasn't till about an hour after that I realised who she was, pretty gutted to be fair, seen as she's worth a dollar or two"
"And this blonde girl" The officer said "Can we really on her to back up your story?"
"Well if you can find her" Sawyer chuckled "I woke up this morning to you guys hammering my door down to find the space next to me empty, I've got about as much as an idea as you"
"Well thanks for your time" The officer said, Sawyer could tell by the look of belief on his face told him that he had been fooled pretty well.
"No problem officer" Sawyer said shutting the door as they turned back into the corridor.
"What do you think should we head down Wyoming?" A voice drifted through Sawyer door.
"Well it's the best we've got, I say go for it, he did describe her pretty well" A second voice said before the voices decreased to silence and Sawyer turned back into the bedroom.
"Well looks like I've got myself my very own runaway Kate" Sawyer said smoothly opening the wardrobe door.
"How did you know?" She asked.
"Don't worry Sweet cheeks, it took me till I had half the force knocking down my hotel door I realised who I was with and I'm a professional, don't worry they think your headed to Wyoming"
"How did you get them to leave?" She asked stepping out of the wardrobe.
"As I said, I'm a professional" He said flopping back down onto the bed "Now are we gonna get some sleep tonight or what?"
Kate thought about the issue for a while, then reasoning that staying put would be the best option she took of her pants and slid into the bed next to Sawyer.
Review please! How was it?
