Chapter Three: Unwanted Romance
Amanda couldn't help but like him, I mean sure he's a voyeur, but I was a drug addict and John took me in, he'll understand.
After helping Adam escape, Amanda used her own medical knowledge to stitch up Adam's wounded shoulder.
It had been twelve hours since she had spoken to John, when Amanda's cell phone rang, "Hello?"
"Amanda, are you hurt, what happened to you?"
"Nothing John, I just lost track of time." she lied, covering up her true reason for her absence.
"Hey Amanda, let's go!" Adam shouted behind her
"Who was that?" John asked
"Uh, I have to go John." Amanda hung up and followed Adam into the fair grounds, maybe the music and rides would numb the fatigue on Amanda's mind.
Amanda smiled and laughed throughout the day, riding roller coasters, ferris wheels and the highlight of the day, a trip through the Tunnel of Love.
It was 9:30 P.M. When Amanda pulled up to the workshop, "Hurry, get inside!"
Adam followed close behind Amanda, ready to finally rest easy.
"John, it's me!" Amanda called
"Well, well, well... Adam, long time no see." John said leaning against the door frame.
"Jigsaw, sir." Adam saluted
Amanda anxiously excused herself and pulled John into the next room, shutting the iron door behind them.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"
"John RELAX, I love him!"
"Okay, I can handle that, you can be with Adam, when his days are numbered." John said calming down
"What?"
"I'm not losing you to that guy, you may think you know him but you don't, I'm saving you Amanda."
After a minute of heart-to-heart conversation, Amanda returned to Adam, "I'm sorry Adam, your chance at redemption is futile."
"Okay, but can I be of any help?"
"Well, you can pick up supplies and whatever else we need."
"Done."
"Welcome to the team." After shaking hands, Amanda and Adam went their separate ways.
