Gideon Breed
September 30, 2013 *Reaching out to palm
my buzzing phone, I roll onto my back trying not to wake Savannah.
I curse under my breath when I see the time, four hours flew by in a blink.
Rising from the bed without disturbing her, I kiss her cheek and grab for my
jeans, slipping them on then pulling on my shirt. I hate to leave her, but I
have a ton of work in the lab to catch up on. Lucan is
probably somewhere grumbling my name as usual, and two of my test results on
the UV ammo Rio brought in are ready, according to
the flashing alert on my phone. Slipping out of our room I head o the lab, fall
into my chair, and get to work*
Carys Chase * Coming from the city,
my visit with Rune to short, I head home. Parking in the underground garage, I
get out and hurry inside. Entering as quiet as I can, I remove my heels and pad
quietly down the hall towards my families quarters. I stop halfway when I
see the lights on in Uncle Gideon Breed's lab. Taking a deep breath I
hurry by hoping he will be too busy to notice me.*
Gideon Breed *Having seen Carys coming into the compound with
security cameras she doesn't even know exist. I keep my head down, and eyes on
my monitor as she tries to sneak by. without moving at all, I call out to her*
Carys, do you really think you are sneaking in and out of the compound
undetected? * Smiling as I catch her startled jump out of the corner of my eye*
Carys Chase *Dammit! Gideon says my name and I all but jump
out of my skin. Knowing better than to ignore him and walk away, I turn and
walk into his scared space.* Uncle Gideon, I ah..was just coming from seeing Jordana Gates, no biggie..okay? No need to
alert the parental units and all..
Gideon Breed *Rolling backward in my
chair as she struts in with her shoe straps hung over a finger, I eye her hand
hard enough that she looks down at the shoes guilty, raising an eyebrow at her
while I shake my head* Jordana huh?
*Cracking a smile as she starts to twist her hair around her finger and squirm
under my gaze. Listen kiddo, the only reason I haven't turned you in is because
you have kept it within reason, and well If I let Aric slide, I have to give you a pass
too.
Carys Chase *Under Gideon's gaze guilt washes over me. Am I
really so stupid to think he didn't ever see me? I shift nervously and mumble
"I'm really sorry, Gideon. Thanks for not telling my parents." *
Gideon Breed *Furrowing my brow, I
let out a sign, then tell her without an ounce of remorse* Carys, your secret is safe for now, but you
need to be responsible, If you get out of line with this, I will call Sterling
in a heartbeat, and if I ever think you are in any danger, I will have every
warrior in the Order out looking for you, with prejudice. So be mindful of your
choices.
Carys Chase *I gasp and look at him,
knowing he means every word* I..I won't, I don't.. get out of line? I hardly
get to see him now! And you'd ruin everything! *As soon as the words
leave my mouth I wish I could disappear.* Please, Gideon. I'll be careful,
okay? I promise..just don't say anything..
Gideon Breed *Stiffening at her words and the him I heard in them, a soft glow churns in my eyes as my temper heats up* Jordana, right. You just remember what I said, you are a daughter of the Order, and our form of justice can be fast and brutal. Now get yourself into bed, before Tavia finds you sneaking around. *winking
at her* I don't need a battle of epic proportions tonight, I have work to do.
Carys Chase *Grinning, I hug him
quickly and hurry out before he changes his mind. Just as I'm leaving I turn
back to him.* Gideon, thanks. I promise not to force your hand on this.
Goodnight. * I turn and leave, silently swearing that I will watch my
behavior.*
