Chapter two Surprise
"Hey Jail Bait."
"Hi, how's work?"
"Are you kidding, do you really think I had to work today?"
"So you lied to me?"
"C'mon." he waved be to follow him.
"Where are we going."
"You'll see." He was leading me toward the ball room. I'm surprised I didn't catch on.
Shane opened the big doors and there were about two hundred people screaming happy birthday. Amelie was right in front.
"Happy Birthday, Claire, you may choose now."
"Choose what?"
"Who you want for protection."
"You of coarse!"
She turned around to Bishop. "Told you."
"Do I seriously get the choice?"
"Well, Claire there's a…"
"Yeah…"
"If you choose me, Shane must stay working and you will be…lets talk it over tomorrow, the choice will be made in one week from then. Enjoy tonight." I turned and looked at Shane.
"Oh trust me, I will!"
As soon as we were in the middle of the dance floor, a slow song came on. I listened to the words and began to think of Eve. I couldn't let anyone in that room see me cry. I let go of Shane and shot to the restroom, where I could be alone. Of coarse Shane followed, and I let him. It's a good thing he did too. Because the turn just before the bathroom, I saw Eve with a tall thin man on top of her.
