with a gunshot wound," he told the receptionist.
" And Jaden Donner," Keisha added quickly.
Checking her call sheet, the woman directed them to the hallway on the left. "Room 6, down the hall."
" Thank you." Rob led Keisha in that direction. "I wonder which one's in here?" He pushed open the door and found both of their friends. Pete lay in the bed and Jaden sat in the chair next to him with a sling on her arm. "Hey, you're both here!"
" Where have you been?" Pete complained. "Seems like we've been waiting forever."
" I'm sorry." Keisha stepped next to Jaden and touched her good arm. "The police had lots of questions. Are you okay?"
" I just want to get the hell out of here. I called my dad and he found a couple seats on a plane that leaves in a few hours."
" Oh." Keisha glanced sadly at Rob.
He bit his lower lip.
Jaden went on, "I hate to do this to you, but Pete and I thought we could use the tickets tonight. He wants to get home just as badly as I do. His folks are driving to St. Louis and meeting our plane. Dad said there are more seats available on a flight tomorrow, if the two of you want him to book you something."
Keisha and Rob exchanged glances, both obviously trying not to smile. "No, we can do it," she said. "But tell him thanks."
Jaden stood up. "We're free to go, we just need to get a nurse to sign us out and call a cab. I'm not walking anywhere on this island ever again."
" I'll call a cab." Rob headed for the door. "Wait here, I'll be right back." He glanced at Keisha. "Want to come with me and find the nurse?"
" Sure." She followed him out.
In the hallway, Rob stopped and swung her into his arms. "Can you believe it?"
Keisha grinned and let him swirl her around. "I almost can't! This is too fabulous!"
He kissed her gently . "Let's get them to the airport and move my stuff to your hotel. A couple of quick calls to our parents will let them know we're safe, and that we're staying. If your folks are anything like mine, once we assure them we won't be so reckless in the future, it'll be okay. We'll have the rest of the week to spend together." He pressed into her and let his hands grope her back and butt.
" Just a week?" Keisha murmured, squirming under his touch. "It doesn't seem nearly long enough."
" A week for starters." Rob smiled. "I'm not bound to Kansas City. I do like my job, but I hear they have a ball club in St. Louis."
" I believe I did hear something about that." Keisha grinned and they kissed one more time. Slipping their arms around each other's waists, they headed down the hall.

About The Author:
Jenna Byrnes could use more cabinet space and more hours in a day. She’d fill the kitchen with gadgets her husband purchases off TV and let him cook for her to his heart’s content. She’d breeze through the days adding hours of sleep, and more time for writing the hot, erotic romance she loves to read. Jenna thinks everyone deserves a happy ending, and loves to provide as many of those as possible to her gay, lesbian and hetero characters. Her favorite quote, from a pro-gay billboard, is “Be careful who you hate. It may be someone you love.” For the latest news, visit Jenna’s blog at http://jennabyrnes.blogspot.com/
