I was bored.
Don't get me wrong, peace and quiet is good, especially when you spend ninety nin percent of your time fighting off demons. But there hadn't been any real big stuff since Joshua had come back a week ago. It was like the demons decided to take a holiday now he was back. I was itchin' for a fight and no one wanted to give me one.
I sighed. Maybe I should track down Frankee, see who was racing tonight.

(((Third person
"Doc?" A voice echoed in the empty streets. It sounded like the voice of a young child, a scared young child. The voice called out again and this time one could hear a sob within it. Th voice came from a girl sitting huddled up in a dark alleyway. Her green eyes were wide, filled with fear.

((I'm presuming that's Jessy? Tell me if I'm wrong.))
"Jessy?" I whispered, looking down at the girl. "That you? What's wrong, kiddo?" She was terrified, something had her spooked bad.
If this' what it takes to get some action, I thought, I prefer bored.

"Oh God, Doc, oh God oh God." I was gibbering. "It isn't true, no not true, no, no. Doc oh god Doc."

"Hey," I whispered, gathering her in my arms. "Hey, it's okay. It's alright, I'm not going to let anything happen. I'm right here, alright? I'm here and nothing's going to hurt you," just just squated there, holding teh terrified girl in my arms.
There are times when I think Jessy shouldn't be in this war. Thisi s one of them. She's the little girl, the innocent one. Every single instinct I have compels me to protect that innocence. She's like my own duahgter and when I find whoever did this to her...
"What happened, kiddo?" I asked gently. She was literally shaking. When I find out what happened, someone's going to find out why you don't mess with my girls.

I slipped out from behind the doorway. " We...we saw him. He..he's." I couldn't say any more.

"It isn't true, it can't be true. No. No. No. It isn't fair. He was strong. Why?" I couldn't stop shaking. It kept replaying in my head over and over, never stopping. just on and on and on.

This whole situation was sending chills down my back.
"What's going on here?" I asked Pepper. Somehow, I didn't think Jessy was up to answering questions.

"Oh my God..." I breathed. Rory? No wonder she's so broken up. "How did this happen? When? I can't believe..." disblief was quickly turning to a mixture of anger and self blame. Why didn't I notice? I shoudl have seen it. It's just...
Just like Sensei all over again, I realised. No. That isn't happening again.

I heard. A cry escaped me. Somehow everything I was feeling was expressed in that cry Pain. Fear. Anger. Helplessness. My own feelings were drowning me, suffocating me.

"Oh God," I whispered, rushing back to Jessy. I knew that look. I knew that reaction. For months...no, years, I lived with that, still am. Every moment I blame myself for what happened to Jasmine. "Jessy..." there were no words. All I coudl do was hold her, be there for her, comfort her as best I could.
And dust that bastard that had turne Rory and caused her all this pain. Dust them as slowly and painfully as possible.

"He- he- he said that it...it...he said it was my fault. He said-" A fresh wave of sobs overcame me, drownng out whatever words I would have said.

"No," I said. "It wasn't your fault. No matter what he said. It would have been his decision, not yours, not anyone elses. No matter what, it was not your fault. And I'll personally scewer anyone who says otherwise," maybe not teh best thing to say, but i was pissed off. Forget teh thing that turned him, Rory was a dust bunny.
