Chapter 2

What fool you are!

He finally got back rushing toward the door about to enter, he had his hand on the knob but the door opened up before he could even turn the knob with Marla about to walk out. "Oh hey look who's back." She jumped up and hugged him as if they haven't seen each other for ever. "Oh darling you seem very happy right now did you drink the whole bottle of Jack Jake hides in his closet." He joked. Marla chuckled "Oh stop it honey I just can't wait to get out of here since that's all I did this whole week was sitting around staring at the damn wall."

And he himself didn't feel like running errands for Francis, which he had been carrying out all week but it was his job and he has to do it weather he likes it or no. "Yeah I've gotten that feeling... lets go and grab some drinks." He headed toward their car. "I fully agree with that." Marla walked fast to the passenger side of the car hopping right. He opened the door taking his time to take his seat. "Oh hurry up." She giggled. She really wanted to got out anyone could probably tell. "Alright lets start this bad boy up." He purposely kept on dropping his keys on the floor just to mess with her. She realized he was do it on purpose when he kept on trying not to laugh. "Ha ha really funny, lets get out here." She was laughing too.

They took off driving down the streets of Paris to their favorite restaurant. "Lets listen to some music seems a little to quiet in here." Jason tuned the radio but all they had were songs and broadcasts in french. "I think you should just turn the radio off." Marla reached over and turned it off.

"So what did you do today other than run errands for Francis?" Marla was watching birds flying overhead. Well he didn't really do anything other than that but he did take a walk. "I didn't do anything other than walk which wasn't that bad then Jake called me to let me know I had to meet Francis at the Concorde." He replied. "Did Ron go with him because he left earlier."

Jason made a left turn. "Yeah baby face was with Francis and so were his stupid jokes." He made another turn, hell this road was full of twists and turns. Marla laughed "Yeah I'm glad he got out he needs to, he also kind of gets on my nerves." Yeah that was a fact, Ron was a good friend but he sometimes got on his nerves too. He made a right turn which lead them right to the restaurant. "Alright we're here now just let me park." He parked the car on the side of the road then turned off the engine.

They got out of the car in the middle of conversation making their way to the restaurant. "Wonder how long the wait time will be." Oh god hope it wasn't like last time when they had to wait 40 minutes just get their table. But it didn't take long at all they got a nice table with a picnic looking cloth right next to the window.

It didn't take real long to decide what they wanted since they almost got the same thing every time, just two traditional french meals but they were good that is why they ordered them, every thing else on the menu they never really get because they had no clue what it was. Jason was drinking Mecca Cola [french soft drink just like coca cola] and Marla was drinking Badoit [french brand of mineral water kind of like a sobey] everyone else around were drinking different types of wine but neither Jason or Marla had a taste for it.

A small group of musicians were playing a nice slow french melody that sounded so good it was if it was massaging your ears. "Nice music... so making beautiful architecture and killing ain't all their good at...." Marla mumbled. "Darling don't speak of that hear they would probably cut your tongue off if you were to be over heard." He quietly snapped back. She was right but they had been over this several times before... not to speak out loud in public.

She leaned back into her seat frowning she looked around the faced back toward him "I'm sorry its just that... that its really hard to hold it all in after all we had been through." She was still frowning. He reached across the table and held her hand. "Trust me I know how you feel... we'll talk about it all later just not right now besides we're eating in a nice place like this with nice food and good music, lets just enjoy it while we can."

The food arrived moments later so they began to eat their well cooked meals. "You know I think I could get used to this." Marla smiled. She took another bite of her food slowly enjoying delicious. If she was happy he was even more happy. After taking a bite he sipped a bit of his cold beverage. The ice rattled in the glass in the empty when raised the glass to his lips which caught their waiters attention. The waiter rushed over with a pitcher "Would you like a refill sir?" The waiter asked politely in his heavy french accent.

"Well sure keep the drinks coming." He laughed. The waiter laughed too while pouring a glass. Wow he was impressed didn't even miss a drop he was moving around a lot, looks like this here sir was going to be tipped. "Thank you." He raised the glass back up to his mouth to drink while the waiter went off to wait to other tables. When he lowered the glass Marla was staring at him. But She had a lovely smile on her face the one he loved to see and her beautiful brown eyes were full of happiness...

"So hows your meal?" She asked still in the exchange of glances. "Oh its great hows yours?" They both cut the chatter and began kissing. Their lips met each other across the small round table full of food. Everything around them seemed to fade away they enjoyed the each others sweet loving lips. The kissing went on as the romantic music played throughout the french restaurant.

Later when they were finished eating they decided to go head toward home. He pulled out of his parking spot which was crowded around and full of people so it was difficult but he got out without a scratch. "Now this night didn't really turn out bad after after all did it." Marla nodded with agreement.

"Lets just head back home bab..." Marla was interrupted by the loud clanks of gun shots. "Get down!" Jason and Marla both ducked behind the cars small dashboard. It sound like an assault rifle which you would never expect to hear in a place like this.

He cloud hear people running and screaming but that was usually the way things would go when shooting a gun. He looked up to see what in gods name was going on.

When he gained view of it he saw a person with a ski mask with an ak74 assault rifle running past the people scurrying around ducking for cover. Bang! Bang! two men in suits were shooting at the shooter. But every shot missed and before the guards could even attempt another shot other shot the shooter gunned both of them down. The gunshots and dead people made the crowds of pedestrians panic even more but it didn't make Jason and Marla panic they've seen and dealt with many gun fights. "Don't worry Marla just keep your head down!" Marla smirked "Oh like I didn't know that!"

Jason would drive away but traffic had come to a stop, some people got out of their cars and ran away. More horrendous gunshots filled the air. He looked back toward the shooter who was now taking cover behind a parked car on the side of the street. Their were now three more suited men four cars away from her who were also hiding behind cover.

The side walk where the gun fight had begun was now empty no one in the way to get shot but traffic wasn't going any where. They should just ditch the car but he didn't want to get involved in the gun fight since they were right by it. The only thing that was keeping them out of it was keeping their selves down low into the car where they couldn't notice them.

Jason opened up glove compartment and took out his and her pistols and ammo just in case in case they were to get caught. He handed Marla the gun and some ammo and started loading his up while she did the same. "Don't play with guns kids." Jason joked. Marla didn't take the joke well "This is not the time Jason... damn its crammed in here." He didn't blame her being in gunfights like this weren't ever really fun or comfortable.

The shooter did the unthinkable, throwing his gun aside and motioned his right hand over his eyes which made them glow bright yellow like the SH (Super humans) do to activate their powers. "Bloody hell darling you seeing what I'm seeing..." He looked back toward Marla who seemed to be out of breath for words. Looks like she catch a glimpse of that," He looked back at the Unknown SH who had now darted toward the three men and dodged each and every single bullet they shot at it.

The SH then dived toward the ground in front of the three men who were blast away, the SH was now in a crouched position,got out a short sword from it's jacket and sliced threw each of them in a blink of an eye. The life less guards fell over onto the side walk bleeding away. The SH stood back looked at the bloody mess it had made then wiped off it's sword and put it away.

Jason could hear police sirens in the distance and he knew the SH could too probably way before he did. The SH disappeared before he could say a word but he knew how since Francis had explained it. SH didn't disappear as if they were using magic but they could act fast enough to make it look like they did. They can't always go this fast since SH have to gain back their stamina just like anyone else in order to use any power.

"Wow so its nice to see more SH around here wonder who he or she was." Marla was going to be full of questions later on he just knew it... Marla was Marla. But he too wonder who that was maybe Francis would know...
