something was going on between the four of us and I told her just enough to keep her satisfied and off our trail. She is anything, but stupid. ” Mark turned to Connor saying “That was a slick comment . I will have to remember that trick for the future.” and ended up smiling. “Listen Bud, I think you should go home and do whatever you need to do for tomorrow. It might get a l ittle…intense. ” Connor said just enough to give Mark time to fill in the blanks. Now it i s time to prepare for the next deadly event. Both Mark and Connor balled up their fists and pressed them together . Mark turned and yelled to Kara and Jenny “I’ll see you in the morning.” Jenny and Kara turned , waving goodbye and suddenly Kara tapped her temple while looking at Sarah and she took the hint. “Sarah , tell Mark I will meet him at the backside of the house by Brother ’ s room.” She pulled Mark close and relayed the message . W hen Sarah finished the relay he turned and waved as he entered his jeep then he soon left. He left for the day . “Are you two hungry?” Jenny asked , being a gracious host. “Thanks Mom for the offer, but we have some things to do before the day is done .” Connor said as he hooked both his and her pack over each of his shoulders , with grace . “Ok then . I’ll see the two of you later. Have a good night. ” She said , walking inside the front door to the house. Connor turned to her and said “I’ll quickly run home and drop these off. I will meet you at your parent ’ s. I think later that we need to go into town and get some groceries.” “Why? We should still have enough stocked at the house.” “Tomorrow might get a little difficult and I think that we need to have enough stored energy just incase we need to keep the piece .” Connor emphasized carefully. She could see how worried he was. This wasn’t a game to be taken lightly . His little sister’s life i s on the line and he wasn’t taking any chances. “Better to be safe than sorry.” Connor nodded in agreement with her words as they walked across the street , to her parents.
The electric garage door had already pulled the door up and Sarah saw her blue car and her mother’s ostentatious red sports car parked inside . The log house had a new coat of red paint and it looked like her m other added some new wild flowers in the flower garden . They did much during the weekend. Connor quickly walked away from Sarah’s side and took to the tree line at the end of her parents property and suddenly vanished from her sight. Through the bond Sarah knew he was running at an unbelievable speed towards their home. He really was hurrying as she knocked on the front door. “Coming ! ” A deep voice announced from inside and a few seconds later Jack opened the door. “Good afternoon , Sarah. How was the camping trip?” H e was wearing blue jean shorts and a white t-shirt. His long silver hair and azure eyes a re a trademark of his seven hundred year old Icelandic heritage. His is as tall as Connor, but of slim build and also looks like a middle aged human . Don’t let his size fool you because he is faster and far stronger than any human. “It was a good experience for me , Father. May I enter? ” And he smiled , letting her inside the house. A few second later Sarah noticed Connor swiftly heading back in this direction. She waited at the door as her f ather looked at her with an odd exp ression. Sarah then opened the door and Connor stood there , breathing normally and evenly . His fist raised in preparation to knock on the thick wooden door. He still wore his black shorts a nd black sleeveless shirt, but Tool no longer h u ng from his hip and she guessed he left it at home. Also on Connor’s chiseled arm i s his solid silver armlet .
