Jamie felt the comfortable heat of the oven. The sweat poured out carrying with it the black stink of vile pasts that till recently had resided in both her girls. She smiled and allowed peace to overcome her.
Lips and Mira had parked the car in a side ditch covering it with branches before setting up booby traps and sight postings. "Mira how long do we have?" Lips asked as he climbed down from the tree. Mira took a sniff and paused stiffly. "Quietly move to the cabin and grab mom and P.B. we move now." P.B. had just finished up making the tuna fish sandwiches from the few staples that had been in the car from its original owner. The outside oven had been the best one she had seen anywhere and most of the houses in the family had them. The wood had been not only of the aromatic kind but very dried and in large quantity. Mom had been in it for over two hours when she came in naked and weakly standing in the doorway. "Got one for me and get me some clothes. We need to get moving now, booby traps will only slow them down but give us away as well." P.B. paled and tossed her a sandwich which Jamie caught without a hiccup in her teeth. She was licking her fingers when Lips came in looking over his shoulder with a nervous finger tick. P.B. let out a high-pitched squeak, tossing Jamie the shirt and shorts she had collected. Quickly pushing Lips back out of the cabin. "Wha..." Lips started and then caught sight of Jamies bare legs coming to stand behind P.B. Blushing he ducked his head. "S..s.sorry mom." He stuttered out. "It's ok but yeah I sense them. I've got a copy of us trooping in the other direction.... hmm...I never would have thought Grims would have a vacation home like this. I guess even they need a place to go on holiday. Must have had security on the place. Any cameras?" Lips shook his head. "But Mira said we need to get moving. Lucky Column's place is close enough we can walk to it." Jamie frowned. "No, I don't want to involve him. We stay out of his place for now until he comes if he comes." Lips blinked. "So, where the hell are we going to go?" Jamie shrugged. "It's a big city and there is more than one city. We split up and go in like traveling tourists, these people have packs here we'll borrow them for now." The two looked at her with incredibility. "Trust me those Grims will be hours tracking out seconds. Unless you want them to find us here in their comfy vacation home."
Jushiro and Shunsui were in the middle of having tea at Jushiro's as he was feeling ill again when both their beepers went off. "Hmmm well this is interesting. Someone's trespassed on our holiday home." Jushiro frowned at his. "You don't think it has anything to do with that incident in the living realm at Keisuke's, do you?" Shunsui smirked. "We could use a little vacation, couldn't we?" Jushiro narrowed his eyes and then smiled. "I believe we could."
Jushiro caught movement going towards the cliff that Shunsui liked to dive off of. "Shunsui?" He pointed towards the 4 going up the path. Shunsui frowned. It seemed too obvious too comfortable, yet what if it was just an innocent group of travelers who had stumbled upon the cabin. These days people with special powers seemed to be on the rise. What if they didn't even realize that the cabin was camouflaged against ordinary folk. Still his eyes turned towards the cabin. "You go after them I'll check on their pizza." Jushiro coughed lightly a spot of blood coated his lips. Shunsui shook his head and followed his friend instead. Mira lowered herself to the forests floor and seen two men in odd uniforms move after a..."Come on you slow pokes! I thought you said you were better than me!" A copy of Lips turned around and yelled at the copies of her, P.B, and mom. If her own image hadn't been with them, she would have followed the men. When they were far enough away, she scurried as fast as she dared back towards the cabin.
Jushiro and Shunsui watched the troop with some interest.
"Mom what do you think that boy you handed me off to likes me?" The golden-haired youth said. But it had looked as if she had asked the red head the question. How could that be when the glimpses the two men had caught of each of the troop put the red head as the youngest. The red head laughed. "I could ask you the same about the stiff stick in the mud." Shunsui blinked. "Well maybe it's a nickname. She can't be more then 16 and that would be pushing it." The black haired one groaned and pushed the two in front of her forward. "Boys is that all the two of you can think about. What about trying to get off this miserable rock?" The two turned and stuck their tongues out. Which made the other laugh and put her arms around both of the women's shoulders and help them continue on after the young man. Jushiro paused. The laughter of the more serious one made him feel lighter. "Uh-Oh. I know that look but usually I have it not you. Which one? I'd go for the red head if I was choosing. But I have a feeling she's taken too. I really have to start reading my reports instead of having NaNu read them to me and only 1/2 listening. Did you read any of it?" Jushiro nodded. "There wasn't much in the report. Only that a youth rescued her friend by nearly blowing herself up eliminating at least one of the hostage takers." Shunsui frowned. "Then how is she here with her friends and not have a scratch on her. She could be the one we were supposed to capture and kill.... I don't like the kill part. Capture I can see but I'd rather invite her over for tea to find out who she really is. I think she could look good in a nice red and gold kimono. What do you think Jushiro? Ah Jushiro? Earth to lover-boy. Come in lover-boy.'' Shunsui whistled low. Jushiro's eyes followed the just below her ear lobe, black raven winged, wavy haired well-built serious one. "She could kick your ass if you pissed her off. Maybe not even when she's pissed." Jushiro chuckled and smiled. "Yes, I imagine so."
