Searching
Edward:
We arrived in Seattle in the evening hours, the sun just under the horizon so I could go out of the car with Sam to search Jacob.
We had no idea where to start, the only hint we had was that he works in a restaurant somewhere in this huge city. There must be more then thousand eating places here but we´ll have to find him and we will.
We started in the 1st avenue because of the many restaurant, bars and bistros there, I searched for a picture of him in the minds of the people around – not a quit adequate method but the only thing I could do.
We visited a lot of bars and restaurants during the night and belief it or not we were successful. Well, we didn´t find him but at least the place he had worked until a few days ago. Sam and I spoke with some of the waiters there and finally a blond girl told us that he has a room in a motel in University district.
"I can´t tell you his precise address" she said "the district is all I know, he didn´t talk much with us. He´s a really strange guy, he damaged the kitchen, that´s why he´s fired. Today is our reopening "A man called for her "Sorry boys, I have to work now. Good luck"
It was too late or too early to search for the motel, we needed a hotel for ourselves now. It was nerve-racking but we or better to say I had to wait until sunset to go out again.
While I waited in our room Sam went to a shop on the other street side and bought some food for him and a city map of Seattle. We found out, that there are only twelve motels in this area, we´ll find him the next night – that´s sure.
Sam slept for a while and when he woke up it was nearly late enough to go out. "Sam, could you do me a favor?" I asked "When we find Jacob, please don´t tell him why …" he interrupted me "Ed, that´s not a favor, that´s obvious. Seth is the only one who should talk about this with Jake." I was glad that Sam thought the same.
We found him in the seventh motel we were looking for him. He laid on his bed, absolutely drunken, in this situation he wasn´t able to protect his mind. I chuckled This will be a lot easier as I have expected it.
"C´mon Sam, let´s get him into the car" I said. When I paid Jacobs bill I told the man on the reception that we have to bring the runaway back home and he didn´t care enough to stop us. Sam carried Jacob and I took his stuff and soon we were on our way home.
We could hear a soft moan from the backseat when Jake realized that he wasn´t in his bed any longer. He looked at us in surprise, still too drunken for a real conversation. "Wha do ya want?" he murmured
"We bring you home" Sam added in a sharp voice "Where you belong to"
Jakes eyes widened "No, I wanna stay" he whimpered
I smiled and asked low "You really don´t want to see Seth?"
"Seth" he hummed and before he fell to sleep again he whispered "I love Seth"
Now Sam's eyes widened and a bride smile rose on his face "Why haven´t you told me this Ed? That´s just perfect!"
"We only bring him home, and then they have to decide what they want to do. That´s not our business" I noted
Sam nodded "I hope they find together soon, I won´t have two desperate, lovesick wolves in the res."
