Original X-roads-2003

    Sertoff stood unmoved.
    “You idiot! He told me of his plans to surrender you for protection and trading rights! LISTEN TO ME!!! I wouldn’t make this up…”
    “Why the sudden concern?” he scoffed.
    I narrowed my eyes, “Because it’s not just you he would surrender. It’s Jabetto, Jamie, Cas, Zariaha, and Mesiaha I’m worried about. I don’t care whether you live or die.”
    He decharged it and set it in his jacket, “If you’re lying to me Assassin…” he warned.
    I let out an breath of disbelief, my mouth hung open. Inconceivable! “Get me off this island.” I started going nuts again.
    Jamie grabbed my right hand trying to stop me. “Don’t Jas.” he pleaded. “‘Member the tree?”
    I jerked free of his grasp, “Tsk, who cares about the stupid tree?” I yelled. “I want off this island!!! And I want off NOW!!!
    Daemon had walked out and was now standing behind Sertoff, “Problem Jas?”
    “Don’t patronize me.” I muttered. “Just get me out of here and everything will be Oookay.” I smiled at him briefly then returned to normal.
    “She’z crackin up!” Jamie teased.
