Sorry for the long wait again but I've been really busy trying to tidy up my website. It is the biggest mess you will ever see lol! Anyway, thanks to everyone that has reviewed! Enjoy the next chapter!
Chapter 6
Lynn entered the room and shut the door. She was so tired, so tired of all the confusion. So tired of all the hassle and mystery. Who was Jeff? Why did he even care? And who the hell are the DeMarco's?
"And why the hell does he wear sunglasses all the time?" she spoke out loud. She didn't even bother with the lights as she walked over to the bed and sat down at the foot of it. She was suddenly so exhausted. She took her hat off and placed it next to her and leaned back to rest on her elbows. It was close to midnight and the commotion on the street hadn't quieted down at all.
"Maybe I'll wake up in the morning and this will have all been a dream..." she whispered.
"So what are we going to do with her?" Lucas wondered.
"For tonight...we'll stay here. Tomorrow we'll travel further south, " Jeff said as if he were in thought.
"Maria said she'd keep in touch, let us know if anything else comes up about her, " Lucas said.
"She needs to be careful, " Jeff reminded.
Lucas nodded, "She knows the risks Sands...she can handle herself I can assure you."
Jeff grinned, "I'll bet you know."
They shared a laugh.
"Does she know?" Lucas asked.
Jeff knew whom he was talking about. He wanted to know if he had told Lynn about his blindness. Was it really called blindness even if you didn't have eyes? Jeff shook his head, "No."
"You gonna tell her?"
"In time."
"You can't hide it from her forever Sands. She'll either figure it out, if she hasn't already and just won't say anything. Or, she'll find out the hard way, and she doesn't deserve that, " Lucas berated him softly.
"Remind me again why I even let you stay around, " Jeff tried to sound annoyed but failed miserably
Lucas smiled, "Because you like me."
Jeff nodded, "Oh."
They sat in silence for a few moments.
"What does she look like?" Jeff asked curiously.
Lucas smiled sadly, "Why don't you find out for yourself?"
Jeff shook his head, "No."
"Why not?" Lucas asked confused.
"You know what I have to do to 'see' what she looks like, " Jeff spat out quietly.
"You think she's gonna freak out, " Lucas shook his head. "I think she can handle it. If anything I think she'll be amazed."
"Amazed about what? It's taken me five years to adapt and hone my other senses and it still doesn't change the fact I have...no...eyes, " Jeff summed up.
Lucas shook his head in amazement. He had known Jeffrey Sheldon Sands for five years and he was still just as bull headed now as the day he met him. "Come on, let's not keep the lady waiting."
They stood from the table and Lucas paid for the food and they made their way upstairs.
When I first wrote this story I hadn't realized how short the chapters were. Sorry for that, I can't change since it's already finished. Like always, please review and let me know what you think!
