Jade rests as she watches Jenny happily setting the table. In the kitchen she had felt no ill will from Jenny and had found her extremely friendly. Her time with Jenny in the kitchen had bought back fond memories. She always loved cooking for her family as a young teenager. Jade reaches down and starts massaging her sore calf muscles. Jade wondered why she no longer did all the things she used to love to do. ‘You are a work alcoholic and attached to a computer 24/7. The thought makes Jade laugh. Jenny’s voice was having a very calming effect on Jade. She must be more tired than she thought. Normally Jade couldn’t tolerate being around someone this long. People could be so annoying and her laughing out load was definitely going to have to stop.

Jade starts making a mental list of things she needed to do for the next day. She really needed to find the items she dropped on the road. Then she would need access to a computer with Internet connection. She had contracted a programming job and really wanted to get it done. Also the paper work Lord Mobius required. Jade also knew she needed to check out this place. She was aware there were many hidden secrets here but she was not going to drop her shield to find out. She needed to sleep and let her mind rest before she did any detective work. Plus her old motto, ‘Don’t go looking unless you can handle what you find’, kept popping in her head. She had learned a long time ago to listen to her instincts. To much thinking was starting to cause her head to hurt again. She rubbed her temple and followed Jenny back into the kitchen for some more manual labor.
