Chapter 15
We landed the ship about half a mile away from the RV just in case the FBI was already there.
"All of you must hurry. It's only a matter of time before they get here." Sara warned.
"Don't worry about us." Jack reassured them.
"Sara and I want you to have this." Seth said stepping forward and handing Alex his device.
"As long as it is in your possession we'll always be able to find you." Sara explained and waved her hand over it causing it to let out a series of beeps before going silent.
"Thanks." Jack said and took it from Alex while turning his back on us. I frowned as he walked away. Jack didn't deal with goodbyes very well.
"Your parents will be very proud of what you've done here." Alex said and pulled Sara and Seth into a tight embrace.
"Thank you Alex." Sara said and walked over to me. I smiled and pulled her into an embrace of my own.
"Jess, I know your parents would have been proud of you too." She said.
"Thanks, Sara. I'll see you again right?" I asked and she nodded. I felt my eyes begin to water and quickly wiped at them. I promised myself I wouldn't cry!
"Jack!" Sara cried and ran past me, jumping into his arms.
"Just remember that Alex and I, we're only a wormhole away." He reassured her. I couldn't help, but feel my heart shatter as I watched his eyes start to water.
"I want you to promise me something, take care of junkyard for me." Sara asked. Jack laughed.
"Anything you want." He replied. I sighed and looked around, finding Seth standing by the ship. I slowly walked over to him and we just stood there for a moment looking at each other. Finally I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his own arms around me and we held each other for dear life.
"Promise me that you'll come back?" I asked, but I'm sure it was muffled by his shirt.
"I Promise." He said and pulled back. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a necklace, pulling it off and handing it to me. I gladly accepted it and placed it around my own neck. He placed a small kiss on my forehead and turned following Sara back to the ship. As I stood watching them make their way up the ramp I wondered if this was the last time I would ever see them. Well if it was I had some unattended business to take care of.
"Seth!" I called and ran up after him. He didn't have time to even react to my call before I plowed into him and brought my lips to his. He was tense at first, but he slowly relaxed and put his hands on my back pulling me closer to him. I ran my finger through his hair and bit my bottom lip when we pulled apart. He leaned in again, but I put my hand on his chest.
"Now you have a good reason to come back for me." I whispered and ran back over to Jack and Alex. The two of them finished their climb up the ramp and turned once more waving down at us. Alex wrapped her arms around me and this time I let the tears slide down my cheeks. Maybe a tear of two wouldn't be so bad. I watched as the ship slowly rose back into the air and I felt Jack put a hand on my shoulder as they took off into the sky. Sure they were gone and our first adventure was over, but no matter what happened I knew Seth would come back. Knowing him he would probably abduct me.
