Comin’ to Get You
Chapter 1: Hot chocolate speculations
The first thing he noticed, when he saw her standing
in the doorway of the small diner, was her hair, a blond cascade that swirled
around her hips with cerulean blue streaks running all through it. Her eyes came next, an electric blue that he
had seen only a few times when he had stayed up all night and the sky had
turned the brightest blue imaginable, for a second only, before fading away. He wondered for a moment if she was trying
to advertise with the WonderWoman T-shirt when she stretched slowly.
She caught his eye and smiled,
flashing perfect white teeth with fangs only slightly sharper than a normal
human’s. Then she was sauntering
towards him, hips swaying back and forth in a hypnotic rhythm. She leaned over his table placing forearms
down gently, and he found those eyes level with his. “Howdy, cowboy, come here
often?”
“I reckon not.” He played along
making his voice sound twang-y and southern.
Earrings glinting in the sun like silver flames caught his eye forcing
it to travel from the cuff shaped like a dragon down the path of the delicate
chain to the quartz dangling from her left ear. It was pretty but he didn’t tell her that, instead he moved his
eyes back to her face.
Her tongue darted out to wet full
red lips and she batted her eyelashes sweetly, her mouth slowly formed one
word, “pity.” Her voice was smooth and
rich as it wound it’s way down his spine.
“Keep me company while I’m here?”
He smiled, flashing his own perfect white teeth with fangs. She shrugged acting bored and slid into the
booth next to him, not in the seat across from him like he had expected.
“Miss me, Zane?” She asked running
a hand, with painted blue nails, through his dyed black hair playfully. Her fingers lingered for a second over his
neck, where his barcode would be coming back in a couple days, fingertips like
silk over the sensitive skin.
“Always, Jondy, always…what trouble
have you been getting into?”
“Trouble…me?” She choked and pretended to look shocked at
the accusation, delicate features molded into a parody of innocence. “Me getting into trouble? Don’t you have me confused with Krit or
somebody? Whatever you wanna blame on
me I didn’t do it, maybe it was Lis.”
“I don’t think so.” He leaned his shoulder into hers and she
laughed.
“Krit was the one who knocked over
the telephone pole…” Zane waved a hand in the air to stop her from going any
further.
“And you were the one who convinced
him to do it.”
“I was joking…not my fault that he
couldn’t tell.” She waved a hand at the
waitress before turning back to him with innocent eyes and pouted.
“You blew up the apartment.”
“I can’t cook, what can I say?” She
rolled her eyes heavenward before she turned to the waitress with a smirk and
shrugged. “Men, always gotta be blamin’
the women folk.”
“Tell me ‘bout it, sistah.” The
woman chuckled shaking her head, “what can I get you two kids?”
“I want pancakes with a side of
pancakes,” Jondy said showing off teeth once again.
“You can’t have a side of pancakes…”
Zane started.
“Sure I can…” she stopped when she
saw his face and turned back to the waitress huffing, “but lots of pancakes
with scrambled eggs and sausages.” She turned to Zane with a raised eyebrow,
“good enough for you, daddy dearest?”
“Mm hmm, same for me and two
milks,” he shot a glare at Jondy when she grimaced.
“What? Zack disappears and suddenly you’re just playin’ CO?” Her lips pursed and she made her tone
playful but he saw the look in her eyes and the way she was suddenly rubbing
her shoulder. The shoulder with a
tattoo of some Chinese word, that he had never bothered to find the meaning of,
the same one that Zack had had on his own shoulder.
They had gotten their tattoos
together, for some reason Zane had never really been clear on. Maybe they had been drunk, both having to
consume enough alcohol to kill a horse, and decided it was a good idea. Somehow he doubted it. Zane grimaced again; he knew fully well how
close the two had been…insanely close considering it had been Zack. He spent more time with her than any of the
other X5’s, sometimes Zane wondered, or worried, that the two didn’t look at
each other like siblings. When Zane had
asked point blank once, when he had found a pile of clothes that smelt like
Zack in Jondy’s apartment, she had fallen to the floor laughing. Despite the reaction he still wondered, he
knew fully well that it was probably jealousy on his part.
Zane ran a hand through Jondy’s
hair gently pushing a blue streak off her forehead with feather light fingers,
the hair falling through his grasp in a waterfall of silk. “I just want to make sure everyone’s ok…I
worry.”
She gnawed at her top lip before
giving him a crooked smile and starting to fidget in her seat, “Yeah, we kind
of give you good reason to worry don’t we?
You know me, man…gotta shoot off my mouth.”
“Such a nice mouth too,” he
whispered into her ear, his breath warm on creamy skin, and she turned full
electric blue eyes on him knowing just the effect they would have on him.
“I know, makes you think dirty
thoughts doesn’t it?” And then she bit
her full bottom lip and batted her thick black eyelashes; he almost opened his
mouth to agree with her when the waitress came back with their order. A bark of laughter and then she was
shoveling through pancakes, no syrup, and sausages, with syrup, and scrambled
eggs that were being ignored at the moment.
Looking at the eating habits of his
companion with a smirk he shook his head, “You’re strange,” and took a bite off
of his own plate.
“I’d blame it on my parents if I
could, too bad I’m a freak without a parents help…” she paused and looked off
into space for a moment, “though I guess Lydecker could be considered a father
figure.” She bounced her head to music
in her own head before grinning at him, “I always wondered…you know how he was
always drinking out of those silver mugs?”
She waited for Zane’s bewildered nod before going on. “What if it wasn’t coffee in those mugs?” He started to laugh, not knowing where she
was going, but finding it funny anyway.
“What if it had been hot chocolate?”
She waved a forkful of pancakes infront of his face, “wouldn’t that just
completely blow your concepts of childhood…with marshmallows?” She was grinning her eyes wide and slightly
glazed as she ate the aforementioned pancakes, and Zane was having trouble
breathing, only Jondy could come up with this sort of thing about their very
own childhood monster. “So, yes, freak,
am I.”
“What is it with you and calling
yourself a freak?” He managed still smiling.
“I like it, makes me feel
special.” She grinned and sighed. “I’m WonderWoman and all.”
“Yeah, great disguise. Shouldn’t you be worried that your shirt’ll
give away your secret identity?”
“Nah, no one suspects the superhero
to be wearing her own merchandise.” She
suddenly turned calculating eyes on him, electric blue meeting dark forest
green, “so, what brings you to my part of the world?”
“Missed you?” He raised his eyebrows at her playfully and
cringed when she swatted at him.
“You’re a wonderful actor when you
aren’t dealing with me, I’m sure.” She
licked her lips, her tongue darting out slowly, as she leaned towards him,
“now, what brings you to my part of the world?”
She went back to eating steadily,
pushing a piece of sausage in a slow circle through her syrup until she
realized that he hadn’t started talking yet, she sighed softly and turned to
look at him. When she was his face,
green eyes pensive and unsure and his bottom lip caught between his teeth, she
dropped her fork, with a loud clatter, and turned so that she faced him
squarely and put her hands on his shoulders.
His mouth opened and closed for a second before he could force sound
out, “I’m here because Zack…” he swallowed past a lump in his throat and Jondy
put a hand to his cheek comfortingly, “isn’t dead.”
She dropped her hands from his
cheek and shoulder and looked for a heart-rending moment that she was going to
cry. “I…expected better…from you,
of…all people. I…I thought you weren’t
the type to play like that, Zane.”
“I’m not,” he grabbed her hand when
she started to get out of the booth.
“Listen to me, Jondy, I’m not playing here. You should know me better than that.” He pulled her back down and grabbed her chin and forced her to
meet his eye. “He’s alive.”
“No, you remember, just as well as
I do, Syl calling to tell us what had happened. You remember her sobbing so hard she couldn’t talk, so that Krit
had to tell us for her that Zack was dead.”
Her face was perfectly cold, and so was her voice but he knew that under
the surface emotions were raging. She
had always had the hardest time concealing her emotions when they were kids, he
realized now that she had had a lot more practice. But that didn’t do anything for the fact that he knew her, and he
knew what emotions were rolling just underneath the surface.
“I remember, but she didn’t have
all the information. Her and Krit only
got half the story…there’s more and it equals to a not dead Zack.”
Her face crumpled and something
that sounded disturbingly like a sob tore from her mouth, “Zack…is…is…alive?”
He nodded his head slowly, smiling. “He
can’t be. Why wouldn’t he have gotten
in touch with one of us…with me?”
“I don’t know why, but he’s alive.”
Her eyes searched his face, running
over the high cheekbones and the square jaw and finally resting on his
eyes. Something she found there must
have done what his voice could not.
“Big brother Zack; the over pretentious, paranoid, brick wall of a
brother?”
“Sounds about right.”
“He’s alive?” a smile broke out on
her face and it looked like she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know yet.” He held up a hand to fend off her questions,
“a…friend of mine dropped some information in my lap. I’ve been looking for some of the others that Zack didn’t let us
keep in contact with, you know like Max and Rich. He’s been helpful and two days ago he tells me Zack’s still
alive. He doesn’t know where, he just
knows who can tell us.” He bit his lip
and waited for what would come next.
“Who?” her eyes went cold and he
knew that she was getting ready to kill anything that might get in her way.
“Remember a year or so ago when our
cover was blown, and there was a broad cast across the country to tell us?”
“Eyes Only?” Her voice was incredulous as she remembered
vividly the broadcast. It caught her
eye, in the bar she had been working at for two months, when she had heard the
designation X5. When the voice had
proclaimed that her cover was blown she had dropped the bottle of bourbon that
had been in her hands, it shattered on the floor, but she never saw it connect
with the ground she had already been gone.
“He knows where Zack is.” Zane was also remembering when he had seen
the broadcast, leaving the garage he had been working in with a sad backward
glance before he had taken off stopping at his place only to grab his dog,
Sasha.
“How do we find him?” Her hand slapped down on the table and he
watched as her jaw clenched.
“All I know is he’s in Seattle…” He
blinked and she was heading for the door. “Hey, Jondy, where are you going?”
“Where do you think?” She shot
back, before she was running in a swirl of gold and blue
“I’m coming too, get back here!” He
threw down some money and was bolting out the door to catch up to her.
