The only surviving experimental subject that Group Deis had created. He never knew his parents. And he didn't agree to what Group Deis was doing to people who they thought had supernatural powers, but he just couldn't do anything about it. They owned him or so he always thought.

 

Element:

Fire / Shadow

 

As a shadow wielder, he can use shadow itself to travel from places where it existed. He can also manipulate the shadow of things in using them as either weapons or distractions. He mostly attacks his victims from shadowed corners, but he doesn't harm innocent people.

 

He mostly doesn't use his fire when he's in a mission. It was too unpredictable and sometimes too powerful for him to hide properly, but he has no qualms in using it if he needed to.

[akiravadel]

Chase smiled as he helped at one of his odd jobs. He finished stacking the flower boxes in the back. The owner called for him to come up front to help move a large plant. He didn't look like the type to work at a flower shop but he really enjoyed it there. It was a small place owned by an older couple. The wife mainly ran the show and he just smiled and did as she asked.

 

Not too long after he started working there she started feeding him and treating him like her own. The blue haired man easily moved the large plant into the back of a person's truck. The woman smiled and patted his shoulder, "my to be so young and strong." She then giggled and blushed.

 

Chase smiled and scratched the back of his head, "y-yeah... hey um... drive safe okay. Maybe take the shortcut home instead of the main road. You don't want to loose the plant now."

 

The woman blushed more, "oh my... flirting with a lady twice your age. You're terrible. I'll be careful sweaty." She then got in her car and drove away.

 

Chase waved then sighed lowering his hand, "I hope she takes the safer route... otherwise..." He frowned.

 

"Chase! Please come here!"

 

"Oh yes ma'am!" Chase came back inside to help her pick up a large pot onto a tray to start making a flower design in. She smiled and thanked him then went about making an arrangement. "That's all for today if you'd like to go home early and your lunch money is on your payments for today."

 

Chase waved his hands, "you don't have to do that-"

 

"I insist, now off with you," the older woman waved her hand at him shooing him away.

 

Chase smiled softly as he walked away and took off his black apron hanging it up in the back. Grabbing his side bag he then grabbed his payment and lunch money before he headed out. Walking down the crowded street he lowered his head and put up a kind of barrier around him trying to make his aura seem bigger than he was to keep people from touching him. It was unnoticeable to the eye but worked just fine.

 

Looking up at a local outside diner he took a seat and ordered a sandwich with soup. As he sat there looking out at the many people in the town he couldn't help but sigh. Were there more out there like him? How long would he have to be on the run until they found him again?... He had already been traveling for four years.

[707]

Zero walked through the busy streets of the city, dodging people as he went. He didn't leave the sanctity of his room when he could help it, but the new target of the Group Deis was innocent. That he knew without a doubt, especially when they showed him the interrogation that they did with the parents. Although it wasn't much of an interrogation, but torture. The two had clearly loved their child as to not say anything until their dying breath, but Group Deis was ingenious on those aspects. They had found where the guy was living, even after years of hiding.

 

He looked up and silently smiled, watching his query walk down the street and use his power. Zero knew that normal people didn't see it and he could understand the carefree way that the guy used his power, but he should have also considered the people like him. He smirked as the blue-head entered into a local diner, it was good that the assassins were waiting in his house and not in his work place. Group Deis never bothered to look up all the information about this guy and Zero readily exploited the idea.

 

He followed and entered the diner, seating himself in front of the blue-head. He smiled charmingly as the guy gave him a distasteful look, nodding in thanks as a waiter gave him the menu. "Give me an apple pie and an apple juice." He stated, waving the waiter off as he looked at the blue-head with piercing eyes.

 

"What you did when you left the flower shop was very stupid." He blurted with a straight face, talking as if he had known this guy since they were born. "People like me..err..like us can see it."

 

He cleared his throat as the waiter returned and placed his orders in front of him, giving Zero a wink as he left. He disregarded it as he looked at the other with sudden seriousness.

 

"You know what I am talking about. I am like you and you are in big trouble." He finished with a bright smile as he took a bite from his pie.

[akiravadel]

Chase was surprised when the man sat before him, oh great another guy to hit on him-

 

His yellow eyes became fierce then. How did they find him?! He had a couple close calls before but he told no one of his current location. Sitting back in his seat for a moment he looked over the other man. So this was their angle huh? Get close to him with some random bounty hunter of sorts.

 

Sitting forward he grabbed his sub and started to eat it, "well well... they must be getting desperate to find me to send a man like yourself." He chewed his food then sipped his drink. He didn't want to have to fight someone in the open but he had before... the last time he almost got caught. Since then he really practiced his powers and tried to remain invisible.

 

Being detacted from his family he knew nothing of their whereabouts or that anything had happened. He nearly ran into his older brother, Carson, about a year ago. He felt happy just to be able to see him. Lucky bastard was normal though.

[707]

Zero chuckled. This guy had guts and he liked that. The problem was how to make him understand that he was not the enemy. Well, he was with the enemy, but he wasn't like them.

 

"I am not an enemy." He stated blandly, sipping his juice lightly. "If you've been watching the news, then you'll know that there had been an increase of murders from north to south." He explained in slight whisper. "The investigators were frauds. All of them worked for one group and they were covering all those up. All of the killings are connected." He chuckled, noting that the blue-head was preparing himself to fight.

 

"Your parents were found, but they did not tell the group anything. Some of the men are still looking for your brother though. Carson Duncan, I believe his name." Zero smirked, noticing that he had the guy's attention. "If I were you, I'd listen to me." He nodded finishing his pie as he stood, leaving his apartment card in front of the other. "Meet me there tonight at eight sharp, if you want to know more."

 

He walked out the diner and had to sigh to himself. It was either the guy would come or not. If he didn't, well that would mean that he would be dead. And he really did not want that to happen. He didn't know why, but he just hated the idea that one of his kind was to be killed in cold blood.

 

Zero looked up, pocketing his hands as he started to walk back. The group would be looking for him soon and he hoped that they didn't suspect anything. If they did, well, he could just burn them all to the ground to save himself from being killed.

 

"We'll see what happens tonight." He mumbled to himself.

[akiravadel]

No! NONONONONONO!!! They were found?! Damn it! The blue haired man shook his head, "che!" He set the last of his sandwich down not able to finish it now. Now even his brother... he needed to warn him somehow...

 

His head lifted as the other started to leave, so that was it huh? Tell him that then have him meet in an enclosed space. His hand bawled into a fist so hard his knuckles turned white, "Damn it..."

 

Paying for his meal he left going to the house which couch he was crashing on. He found a chick who wanted to fix broken guys. Yeah it was low to use her like that but he needed a roof and to not stay long. Since he never tried to sleep with her that made her want him around more. He only stayed on her couch and paid her for using the shower.

 

Once he got there he gathered his things into his backpack and sighed. Looks like he'd be moving again. After finding out what this guy was up to he would need to leave town.

 

Walking down the street as the street lights turned on he took a deep breath stopping by his couple of odd jobs letting them know he was leaving. The older woman at the flower shop looked so sad at the news, "well if your having family problems you should go to them."

 

She smiled and walked to her office and returned with an envelope that was bulked up a bit, "take care of yourself honey and if your ever back here your always welcome." She smiled and gave Chase a tight hug.

 

Chase really liked her too but his face turned sad as she hugged him. How long had she been sick? He took a deep breath and hugged her tightly, "thank you for everything." He then waved as he left.

 

Once he reached the apartment building he looked up at it and took a deep breath, "here we go." Making his way inside he felt so uneasy... there was so much going on there. People fighting, kids playing... he shook his head trying to shake his uneasy feeling and knocked on the apartment door.

[707]

Zero walked through brightly lit corridors. The headquarters of Group Deis was underground and everything that was in there just screamed of power. Most didn't know but the man who established the group had a tight grip and influence over the government. He wasn't as powerful as the country president, but he was close nonetheless.

 

Unceremoniously, he opened the conference room's double doors. Everyone that was gathered there were people of major influence and all of them were part of the board. Zero knew. They were the ones who had agreed to create him. He nodded as they resumed their paused debate and conversations.

 

He leaned against a far wall and waited for them to finish. And he didn't need to wait long. When they were debating, most of the times, the board never got any real work. They just stated what they wanted and that was that. They never compromised, with the exception of the presence of the chairman. But without the big man himself, the board only looked out for their own interest. Zero had never seen people with such greed and selfishness.

 

One of the board directors approached him as the others started to vacate the room. "How was your day?" 'Did you find him?' Was the meaning behind the man's word.

 

Zero nodded lightly. This man was the only person that he trusted in this facility. He had been the one that showed any parental concern to him when he was still a kid. This man was also the one who convinced him that their kind should not be hunted like animals. He was Zero's informant from the inside.

 

"It was good, I guess. Had a bite to eat." 'Yes I did. We talked.'

 

"Will you be going home before or after your mission?" 'Will you meet with him again?'

 

"Before the mission. I need to get some things." 'Yes. He will be staying with me.'

 

"That's good. Make sure that the mission is successful." 'Good. Keep him safe.'

 

Zero nodded, stretching his arms as he exited the room. Now he just needed to wait for eight to arrive.

 

~o~o~

 

Zero stirred slightly, opening his eyes and groaning at the incessant knocking on his door. Then his eyes widened as he remembered.

 

"Coming!" He shouted, jumping from his bed and almost falling face first to the floor as his blankets decided that they didn't want to part with his feet.

 

He managed to untangle himself, stumbling a few steps as he reached his door and opened, not noticing that he was only wearing his silk boxer shorts. The blue-head indeed was there.

 

"Come in." He invited, clicking his lights open. Now he just needed to explain the basics to the guy.

[akiravadel]

Chse was getting a little annoyed, did he tell him to come here at this time? He went to turn away when the door opened and he saw the other in boxers.

 

"What?... You can't be serious..." Chase stepped inside setting his bag on the floor near the door as he closed it. The blue haired man glanced around. This was... this mans home?! What the hell was going on?! "Try anything funny and I'll explode your brain."

 

He couldn't but he could cause serious pain from the pressure. Chase watched him carefully as he stepped into the room. "First off before you ask me any questions or anything of me... is my family safe?" He had to know or he was going to rampage on whoever had them. That would be the turning point for him if something happened to his family.

[707]

"Try anything funny and I'll explode your brain."

 

"Quit threatening me will you?" Zero sighed in exasperation. "If I wanted to do anything funny, I would have done so."

 

He walked towards his kitchen counter and grabbed an apple as the blue-head entered.

 

"First off before you ask me any questions or anything of me... is my family safe?"

 

Zero cringed but nodded, seating himself on his couch and motioning for the other to do the same. "First off, I am a friend not an enemy." He reassured. "And there's no light way in saying this but your parents are dead. The Group found them, asked where you were and they didn't tell so the interrogators killed them." It wasn't necessary for him to tell the other how his parents died. "As I have said this morning, they are still looking for your brother." He continued, playing with his apple. "Me and an associate of mine is trying our very best to mislead the Group into thinking that your brother is missing and can not be found, as is what we are also trying to do with you." He looked outside his window and bit on his apple.

 

"You can call me Zero," He stated lightly, waiting for the explosion to happen. If there was any.

[akiravadel]

Chase was about to sit when the other told him his parents were dead. Golden eyes widened in shock and he sunk onto the couch, "No..." The other continued talking and all he could think of was the people who raised him and loved him even with this curse... were gone...

 

A soft pulse was coming off of him almost like the air pressure in the room was changing. Shaking his brought a hand to his face and lowered his head, "they must have been tortured..." He took in a deep breath of air and grit his teeth. "I can't believe it..." Little patters and tears fell onto his pants as he tried to keep his breathing calm.

 

If he lost his head, people in this building could suffer for it. Although trying to keep from exploding things inside the room started shifting and lighter things were lifted and shifted around. Then the windows started shaking from the sheer pressure coming off of his body. Trembling his hand gripped at his own hair, "damn it!"

[707]

Zero knew that if the blue-head didn't calm down his entire room might be destroyed. Even though he could easily buy a new one, the publicity was unnecessary and they would definitely be caught by the Group. He sighed, standing and retrieving an ordinary looking coin from the drawers of his nightstand. Such coin were given to all the members of Group Deis, they were used to nullify the powers of one such as him. That coin had saved his life once.

 

He stood in front of the other, taking his hand and pressing the coin to it. "Don't throw that. It can help you hide your power. It's very useful at times like this. We need not cause any further disturbance."

 

He returned on his seat and waited for the blue-head to calm down, even for a little bit. He really didn't understand what it felt to loose one's parents, he grew up knowing that he was a something not a someone. And he had never really felt anything to the people who raised him, well save for one other. But even through that reality, he still could understand the feeling of loss. He'd seen many of his kind be killed in front of him and most of those were done without mercy.

 

"I would suggest that you stay here for the time being." Zero nodded to himself, noting that the blue-head had mellowed a bit. "But if you are gonna go out, I would recommend that you wear a wig or maybe just change the color of your hair, so that the group would not immediately recognize you." He stood and stretched, not really being bothered by his state of almost nakedness. "Don't worry about the bills. I can pay for all of them."

 

Zero had no idea why he was being uncannily kind towards the guy, but he just shrugged it off as natural concern. "We'll just speak of more important matters when you've calmed down or maybe after you mourn your loss." He took his clothes from a nearby chair and started to put them on. "I must go. Remember what I said if you wished to go out. There's also food in the fridge." He was halfway out the door when he remembered something and poked his head back in. "By the way, if you're okay with it, I only have a queen sized bed. You are free to sleep with me if you wish, but if you don't well, there's the couch." He winked and waved as he left.

[akiravadel]

Chase jumped as the other touched him and was about to yank away when the coin was placed in his hand. He stared at it with reddened eye before closing his hand over it. In moments everything stopped rattling and he took a deep breath. His hand closed over the coin and rested his fist on his lap. Wait... did he not catch a glimpse of what was in this mans mind... or even feelings?

 

The blue haired man watched him go shock clearly evident on his face. Was it the coin? Or was it this man? He stood as the door shut, "wa-..." He sighed and shook his head. "Not time to think about that..."

 

Walking over to his bag he brought it over to the couch and rested it on a corner. He then walked over to the window looking out seeing people wander by, "why do I have to be a freak?..." It was then he decided to explore this mans house. He grabbed an apple along the way then realized how tired he was after trying to hold all that energy back.

 

A nap wouldn't hurt... after all he felt safer here then with that crazy chick he was staying with. He had to sleep with one eye open or she tried to jump him. Sighing heavily he walked into the living room and flopped back on the couch putting one foot on the floor while the other stretched out across the couch. Pulling his hands up above his head he took a deep breath as he tried to push the horrible thoughts of his poor parents out of his mind. Not long after that he was asleep.

[707]

Zero walked through familiar halls. In everyone's eyes the mission was a complete failure, but to him, it was a success. But what was important at that moment was the full impact of a mission that failed. Group Deis did not condone failures and every mission failed has its own consequences, specifically consequences that befall the leader of the mission. And Zero was the leader.

 

Group Deis would not kill him. That he knew very well. He was too important for them to eliminate him. No. They would probably beat him up or torture him because of his failure in delivering the mission to a success. He didn't mind. He'd been through this before, but he suspected that tonight was the worst punishment yet.

 

He entered familiar double doors and had to sigh. He already knew the drill, they didn't need to repeat it time and again. Zero looked around and noticed that there were no new people in the room. The Chairman was their and that must have explained why the others were so quiet, the tormentor was also there, a hulking form of a man, the guy was a maniac and he never hid it. Some of the board members that ran the missions department and two bodyguards were also there.

 

Zero opened his mouth to say something condescending but he never had the chance as he blocked out. He never saw the guy behind him.

 

~o~o~

 

Zero emerged from the shadows of his room, naked and bleeding heavily. He knew that using his power when he was so weak was not a good idea, but he didn't want other people to see him when he was in such a state. They would bring him to a hospital and things would just go downhill from there.

 

The idiots have pulled nothing back. It was a miracle that he was still alive with such a beating that they gave him. Seven muscled guys against a chained one wasn't much of a fight really. He could not use his powers, the chains were made of the same material as the coins and his movements were impaired by said chains. One consolation though was that, his kind healed easily. In two or three days, he'd be healed completely.

 

He coughed and blood poured out of his lips. He managed to take a step before promptly falling face-first to his now blood soaked carpet. I need to get this cleaned He thought snidely to himself. If I even live past tonight. Then everything went black.

[akiravadel]

Chase stirred on the couch hearing something fall. He sat up and looked over towards Zero. He blinked a couple times and shook his head. He was so used to waking up seeing horrible images from people around him either past of future that he didn't believe what he was seeing was true.

 

He rubbed his eyes and stood to walk past him and go to the bathroom but paused. That really smelled like blood... He poked his foot at him touching his body and nearly passed out. Chase never did good with blood and seeing so much about overloaded him. The blue haired man grabbed towels and covered him with them then pulled him onto another set of towels as he panicked.

 

Searching through the others cabinets and in the bathroom he found a first aid kit and brought it back. Taking a deep breath before he began he tried to calm his nerves and patched this guy up as best as he could. Taking gauze and wraps he covered the worst spots and sat back looking at his handy work.

 

Gagging a little he quickly threw the towels in the washer and turned it on. Taking cleaner he tried to get the blood out of the carpet but knew it would be impossible. Laying a couple towels on the bed he used his strength to lift the other onto the bed and tried to keep getting blood on it. He didn't feel comfortable touching this man too much even though...

 

Looking down at his hand he shifted as he stood next to the bed looking at the others hand, "hm..." He reached his own hand over pausing above his hand. Swallowing hard he reached his hand down and touched the top of his hand. He could feel a little from him but not the overwhelming wash he got from most people. He could feel the pain of his injuries and something else he couldn't place, but it wasn't strong.

[707]

Zero looked through the glass tube that he was in. There were people looking at him, checking things that were big and sometimes beeped. They were also holding something that they wrote things down. He could not remember the past, but he knew his name, he knew some things and that was about it. He couldn't remember how he knew those things, couldn't recall how he learned them.

 

He looked as one man entered the room. This man was different and he could tell just by looking at him. He leaked the power that comes with authority. He placed a hand against the tank he was in and they all looked at him. He wanted out, he didn't want to be in there. He wanted to be free.

 

"Has there been any improvement?" The man asked and one of the older men nodded, handing him a set of sheets. The man looked at it, smiling as he did so and Zero had to cringe at the picture. "Very good. Give him double the dosage starting today." They all nodded and one of them pressed a button on the big thingy. And everything just suddenly hurt.

 

 

Zero shot up from his dream, his body and bed ablaze in red, green and blue flames.

[akiravadel]

Chase hissed and pulled his hand back and jumped. Zero scared the shit out of him. The blue haired man looked at him then stepped towards him, "hey control your self!" Reached in his pocket he gently tossed the coin at him hoping it would help stop his power. It wouldn't be good if this place burned down.

 

"What the hell happened to you?" he looked at the other confused about what had happened to him. He held his lightly burned hand.

[707]

"What the hell happened to you?"

 

Zero blinked a couple of times, inhaling a bit to clear his mind of his dream. He haven't had that dream in ages. They must have beaten me up more badly than I noticed. He thought to himself, looking down and sighing in exasperation at his burnt bed. I need to buy a new one.

 

"Sorry about that." He stated walking towards the blue-head, not really bothered in the least with his nakedness, and took hold of his burnt hand. "I can help." He stated in response to the other's unvoiced question. Then both of them ignited in a brilliant burst of white flames that vanished as quickly as it appeared. He looked down at the blue-head's hand and smiled. "There, all better."

 

Yes. Zero's flame had the ability to heal wounds, but not those that were fatal. He had tried before and he had failed, a dwindling life could not be healed.

 

"What was your name again?" He asked, rummaging through his wardrobe for a towel. He needed to take a shower and now that some of his wounds were healed, he badly needed to clean himself up.

[akiravadel]

Chase tried to tug his hand back and then the flame nearly made him poop himself. He gasped and stared at him for a moment then looked down at his healed hand, "huh.... That's nifty..." The blue haired man stepped back from him.

 

The blue haired man made a face when he asked him of his name, "are you serious? You know everything about me and hunted me down." He crossed his arms and raised a brow. He didn't know what the hell he meant by that. Maybe he was trying to play tricks on him, but the guy was so hurt a moment ago. Maybe someone found him. Was he really safe here?

 

"If anything I need to know about you, who you are..."

[707]

"If anything I need to know about you, who you are..."

 

Zero sighed. It was true that he knew everything about him. Well, almost. That one statement made him uncomfortable, if not weary of the privacy of such informations. But he knew that Chase deserved to know some of the things about him and most importantly, the reasons why he was trying to protect him.

 

He ran his hand through his hair, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist as he sat on a nearby couch. His shower would just come later.

 

"I am a part of the group that has been hunting our kind down." Zero started, staring at nothing in particular. "I have no memory of who my parents are or who I really am. The only thing that I know is that they made me and I am their property. They call me Subject Lieutenant, but you can call me Zero." He stared at his blackened bed and suppressed the urge to throw it out the window. "Only one other knows that I am helping you. He is also the one who convinced me that our kind should not be hunted and exterminated like wild animals." He looked at the blue-head and motioned for him to sit next to him. "I've tried helping others before, but they did not believe. So they ended up dead and some of them ended up in the laboratory tables of Group Deis. I couldn't help them when they were already inside the facility." Zero closed his eyes as images flashed before them. All of them were unpleasant to say the least. "Group Deis believe that our kind is a threat to human existence that is why they strive to eliminate all of us. They need me now, but when all is said and done, they'll kill me too-"

 

And the night went on with him telling Chase most of the things that the blue-head asked.

[akiravadel]

Chase looked at him for a moment then sat next to him as he started to explain. This was all so overwhelming to him. If he told him that at the beginning he might not have been so well... childish and defensive.

 

The blue haired boy sighed and rested his face in his hands. So there were more like him... All these poor people being hurt because of powers they had. He was blown away. His world was collapsing... This world wasn't what he knew it to be. This group of people after him and his kind, they seemed worse than anything he had heard. Using this guy to hunt down his own kind.

 

"So how do we stop them?" Chase leaned up and looked over at him with his golden eyes. There was a seriousness to his voice as he spoke. He looked at the other with a stern look. "They need to be stopped." Maybe he could trust this guys a little... just maybe...

[707]

"So how do we stop them?"

 

Zero considered the question with a seriousness that he has not showed since his first mission. The very idea of opposing Group Deis was disconcerting to say the least. It wasn't that he believed that they could not be stopped, no. On the contrary, he believed that they had a weakness, but knowing and finding it out would be the main problem. Then, it came to him that stopping Group Deis was not yet the immediate problem.

 

"We can speak of that in the future." He stated slowly. "Our main problem for now is keeping you a secret to them. They are after all, still looking for you." He nodded lightly, mostly to himself. "We also need to find your brother before they find him."

 

He stood and looked out his window. If they were to look for Chase's brother, they would need all the lead that they could get but he was not too keen on returning to the base after what they just did to him. No. He was gonna obtain those information some other way.

 

"Remember what I have told you this morning." Zero continued. "You need an inconspicuous appearance. That is more necessary than you can imagine. Group Deis have agents almost everywhere." He tapped a finger to his chin, looking deep in thought. "Tomorrow, we go shopping!" And he smiled, for the first time that night.

[akiravadel]

Chase was surprised by the sudden smile and nodded his head, "Alright. I have some cash saved up. Maybe a couple new shirts. Should we pick up some wigs or just color my hair too?" It had been so long since he saw his brother. This should be interesting, since his brother was the most pissed about him leaving home. After all he was his older brother and he felt it was his job to protect him.

 

The blue haired man stood and stretched his back and lifted his hands above his head, "sounds good." He stood next to Zero looking out the window at the lights in the city. "First I think you need a new bed."

 

He chuckled softly as he looked back at the messed up bed, "I'm sure some place will have one we can pick up or have delivered."

[707]

Zero turned and inspected Chase, like a detective might a crime scene. It would be a shame to dye his hair, very few people had a natural blue for their hair color. He shook his head. "No. We'll buy wigs for you to use." He leaned against the window and crossed his arms over his chest. "Not just a new shirt," He stated carefully. "We will need to buy you an entire wardrobe. From shirts and pants, to shoes and socks, and underwear." He chuckled lightly. "It is better to be sure than not. And do not worry, I can pay for it."

 

He pushed himself off the window and grabbed his nearby phone, dialing a familiar number. Zero waited as the other line rang for a few seconds before someone answered him. "This is Zero," He stated. The person he was talking to would immediately know him. "I need a new king sized bed. Deliver it first thing tomorrow." Then he hung up.

 

"They know me," He stated by way of explanation, walking around the blackened debris that was now his bed and stopping just in front of his shower door. "I'm gonna go get a shower. I suggest that you sleep, we'll be busy tomorrow."

Hearing the other man talking on the phone like he was talking to an old friend told him that this was not the first time. Glancing at the bed he wondered if having fire as an element was hard.

 

Chase took a deep breath, "where am I going to put all those clothes?... You can't possibly want to stay here with them knowing about me." He was worried about staying in one place for too long. Shifting on his feet he looked over at him.

 

He sighed and walked over to the living room and flopped back on the couch. Holding up his healed hand he sighed softly and smiled, "I want to read him... maybe when he gets out I'll ask him." Smiling softly he closed his eyes and leaned back against the couch.
