| PART FOUR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke to a knocking on the door. I rolled over and propped myself up on my elbows as Jason poked his head in. "Morning sleepy head." "Morning" I replied as I sat up, pulling the sheet around me. "What time is it?" "Nine a.m." I groaned. Five hours of sleep. If it wasn't for the threat to my life, I would roll over and go back to sleep. "Edward's here," Jason said. "Good, bring him down." Jason opened the door wider and was followed into the room by Edward. "That'll work, too." I said swinging my legs over the side of the bed. "Thank you, Jason. Could you leave us please, we have a lot of things to discuss." Edward caught Jason's arm as he turned to go. "Someone will be here later asking for me - a big Cuban guy named Ranger, a woman will be with him. Bring them down when they arrive." He let go of Jason's arm. Jason looked at me questioningly. "It's ok. I trust Edward's judgment." Jason turned and left, shutting the door behind him. I got out of bed and shuffled towards the bathroom. "Rough night?" Edward asked. I looked back at him. He had a big grin on his face and was staring at me. I glanced down at my nightgown and flipped him off, and continued into the bathroom. I could hear him laughing through the door. Nice to know I could still be amusing so early in the morning ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART FIVE |
