Original X-roads-2003

Meanwhile…
 
    Jamie waited until the others had gone back into the cave, and crawled out of the pit. He watched Sertoff walk past him as if he wasn’t even there.
    Jamie began to follow Sertoff at a safe distance. He watched as Sertoff seemed to be making his normal rounds. Going in and out of taverns, collecting debts, and flirting with hookers. He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. The heat was it making it hard to keep up with him.
    Jamie wanted to find something, anything he could use for Jas. He felt bad for her, what was Sertoff trying to prove?
    He watched as Sertoff flashed out and back with Ruby. He walked with her to a small secluded sections of trees near a lake. The ground was covered with a silken looking sheet, pillows made of the same material laid strewn in every direction.
    Sertoff pulled Ruby close to him, and she giggled with delight.
    Jamie watched as the moonlight bounced off the two lovers kissing and caressing.
    Sertoff laid down on the ground, nestling in with the pillows. As soon as he was comfortable, Ruby went to work. Sertoff drank from a bottle of Stajaki as she performed her duties.
    Jamie pulled back from the scene, not very romantic. He glanced back at the two, and watched for what seemed like longer than an hour.
    Ruby did nothing more than the law would allow her to do, and Sertoff seemed disinterested the entire time. When it was finally over, Sertoff paid her and the two were gone in a flash of bright white light.
