She looked up from her leg and saw the worry on his face, "oh don't worry about it. I just can't put to much stress on it for a few weeks just so the stitches won't bust open." She laughed, "you should have seen the other guy." In actuality it was just a mean rouge piece of barbwire that she accidentally ran into but he didn't need to know that. There was a knock on the door and she looked up confused, "who the hell whats to talk to me this late. I swear if it's that damn border patrol they will be getting an earful from me."

Kevlar walked over the door and swung it open about to bite the head off who ever it was when she noticed that it was a man she hadn't seen in a long time.

The man cocked an eyebrow, "are you going to let me in?"

She shrugged, "debating it Berzer. I shouldn't let such filth into my house."

He laughed and pushed his way in, "oh your to kind Kev."

Jevin did his best to laugh along with Miss Phoenix, but he probably wasn't convincing. He winced when someone knocked at the door. It frightened him to think someone would just show up in the middle of the night. Especially since Miss Phoenix didn't exactly come off as the most upstanding citizen. Jevin couldn't deny he was curious to find out who was at the door. Unfortunately, from the sounds of it, this visitor was not welcome.

[dirtylion]

Berzer made his way into the kitchen and spotted the kid, "hmm I never took you as the child type Kev. I know it's been a long time but uh do you know who the father is?"

Kevlar's eyes flared, "he's not mine you pig headed pirate!" She shook her head, "what are you doing here Berzer?"

"Well you can never be too sure especially since how un-careful we were back then. On a different note I'm here on sort of business."

Kevlar moved to stand next to the boy. She new Berzer not to be vindictive but it had been a long time and she couldn't be sure, "so what does this business intel?"

Berzer ignored her question and focused on the boy, "hey kido how did you get stuck with this old cactus?"

[Sarah]

Jevin watched their interaction carefully. He could sense an evil boiling underneath the newcomers skin, although it seemed he had it under control. He watched him nervously as Miss Phoenix stood near him. He looked down for a moment. Would Miss Morgana be in danger if he told a stranger about her? In the end he decided not to say, instead he gave the man a defiant look and waited for Miss Phoenix to speak up again.

[dirtylion]

"Berzer," Kevar said in a warning voice, "please state your business or I am going to have to ask you to leave."

Berzer frowned a bit at the lack of voice the kid had, "poo you guys don't know how to have any fun." He found his way to a chair and sat down, "right business well a few weeks ago we were sailing up north and found a girl drifting in the sea. She doesn't know who she is or where she came from or even how she got out to sea. We've been calling her Blayde because besides the clothes she was wearing the only other thing she had on her was a sword." He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "please tell you have at least had someone go missing around here that sounds like her. I've got all kinds of people all over the place trying to find some clues of her past. I just thought since you run so much of the land around here you might know something."

[Sarah]

Jevin was instantly interested when the man talked about a missing girl. He didn't know her, but he knew what it was like to have no one. "Creative," Jevin accused dryly at the name. "Couldn't even let the girl choose her own name?" he asked sardonically. He'd interrupted but he didn't care. For some reason he felt incredibly attached to the girl. His face flushed in shame as his brain caught up with his mouth and he looked at the ground again in shock.

[dirtylion]

Berzer's eyes swiveled to look at Jevin, "she barely talks much less wants to give us something to call her by."

Kevlar gave a warning look to Jevin, she didn't know when he decided to grow a voice and talk but right then wasn't a good time. "Look Berzer I wish I could help you but I don't know this girl. Tomorrow I can ask around but that's about it."

He scratched the back of his head, "yeah I get it. Your hands look full anyways."

[Sarah]

Jevin couldn't get rid of the niggling feeling he got when he thought about the mystery girl. There was something about her that made Jev want to meet her. He wasn't sure what it was, although he felt like it was probably just because they were both alone in a strange world. Jevin shook his head slightly, he needed to stop obsessing it was gross. He didn't know her, and as far as he knew he never would. He just had to endure Miss Phoenix, and end up with nothing again. All signs pointed to Miss Phoenix getting rid of him as soon as possible.

[dirtylion]

"Alright Berzer I think it time for you to head home," Kevlar turned to Jevin. "And it's time for you head off to sleep."

Berzer stood up and Kevlar showed him to the door, "Kev I'll be in town for two days so if you find anything I'll be at the-"

"Bar, I know. I'll look into it but I doubt I will find anything. I think your wasting your time. Well good night Berzer." She shut the door, "and good riddance." She made her way back into the kitchen, "come on kid lets head off to bed and deal with stuff in the morning. Now I have another task to deal with. What do you think of this mystery girl?"

[Sarah]

Jevin look uncomfortable while Miss Phoenix led the strange man out. Really he was just deep in thought, and awful tired. At least the man was gone. If Miss Phoenix didn't like him Jevin was sure it was for good reason. Not to mention the strange vibes Jev got from him.

"I think she is in a situation similar to my own," he mumbled. "Except she doesn't have anyone to save her," he added, mostly to himself. He shook his head and stood up. "You said something about sleeping?" he asked barely able to keep his eyes open.

[dirtylion]

Kevlar thought about what said and the chuckled, "okay kid come on you look like your about to fall over." She walked out of the kitchen and past the living turning to make sure Jevin was following. She made it down a hallway to a closed door, "alright so this is usually Morgana's room but since she isn't here you can stay in it. Goodnight kid."

When she made it back to the living room she flopped on the couch she had too much on her mind to go to sleep. She had lied to Berzer, she did have someone on her mind when he mentioned the girl. However the girl she was thinking about actually be the girl that Berzer spoke of was highly unlikely. However tomorrow she would  make sure. Slowly without meaning to she fell asleep on the couch.

[Sarah]

Jevin's eyes fluttered open as the first rays of sunlight filtered into the room. The room felt stale, he felt stale. Slowly he lifted himself up and out of bed. His hair disheveled and his clothes rumpled. He yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Jevin wasn't exactly nosy, and he didn't want to spend any more time alone in a strange room so he opened the door to the rest of the house. "Miss Phoenix?" he whispered loudly. Carefully he crept out of the room and back towards the kitchen.

[dirtylion]

"Okay, thanks Hurly," there was a short pause, "yeah... yeah okay I'll send him your way then," Kevlar hung up the phone and turned around to where she was boiling water for oatmeal. She had guessed that Jevin would be hungry so she decided to go with a safe meal that didn't involve leaving the house for. Kevlar cocked her head when she heard him enter the kitchen. "Morning kid, the oatmeal is almost done. You can sit at the table if you want," she gestured to rickety old kitchen table that sat in the corner.

She added the egg white and the oats to the water and started to stir. She planned to after breakfast head out and find Berzer and tell him the information that she had acquired from Hurricane.

[Sarah]

"Oh, okay," Jevin said. He sat down at the table with breakfast. He grabbed a spoon but didn't begin eating. "Who were you on the phone with?" He asked. He didn't want to pry, but the thought of that girl was still bothering him. He wondered what the plan would be for the day. Miss Phoenix didn't seem like the type of lady to take a day at home.

[dirtylion]

"I was on the phone with a guy named Hurricane. If anyone knows anything about this mystery girl it would be him. The only thing that he thought it could be was that around thirteen or fourteen years ago he had two babies stolen from him... and uh... one was named Azza and uh the other was a boy named... Jevin," she finished and stared at the kid in silence watching him take it in. Kevlar wasn't sure how the boy would take the news. Awkwardly she sat with her own plate of food. She wondered what it feel like to find out that your life could have been different.
