Rachel smiled. she had the greatest boyfriend ever. "now you have to explain."

[I quit:)]

He took her hand and looked at the ceiling. "Well, when I first met you, I thought you were like Faria. You know, fighting alone, not caring about others, regrettless....and when I met Macon, and he told me you were his girlfriend, I was like 'Ah she does have feelings' and with every moment we spent together, or just when I saw you, you were getting more caring and stuff. From the outside a tough warrior, from the inside a cute chocolate puppy.", he winked. "And you have a bad taste in men." Jim grinned.

Hunter woke up. She had fallen asleep. She cuddled Macon and then looked around. Jim and Rachel were still not there. "Mac.", she whispered. "I'm afraid they've been captured."

[Scripted Away]

Rachel laughed and kissed Jim. "the only way to hide my feelings. and i have a great taste in men! When you arrived you looked so...aggressive. like you were saying "let me be a part of this or i will kill you all". But there was something in your eyes...something that told me there was more inside you than the tough snappy wolf. How you fought, how you walked, how you behave- all that was screaming "bad" and "danger" but your eyes were whispering "help me.""

Macon nodded. "I'm afraid tjat happened, too.
But i know rachel and had the chamce to het to know Jim better. They will find a way. or at least...i hope so..."

Jamie was sleeping. he was exhausted from all the things that happened today.

[I quit:)]

Jim looked to the ground. He had never realized that his eyes were so... screaming for help. He knew he didn't look like the guy you'd talk to if you have problems. He knew he looked like some bad guy with bad problems. But he didn't knew that Rachel had seen him suffering, just because of his eyes.
He kissed Rachel.
"I know I look like danger.", he smiled.

Hunter wiped a tear from her face. "I don't want to lose them too."

Suddenly a man stood in front of the cage. "Don't you like the cage I gave you two?", it was Davis. "I bet Jim does."
Jim looked at his father like he was just about to kill him with just his eyes.
"Well, I'll leave you two. You don't have much time left either. So I'd better start saying goodbye to eachother." and he left, with an evil laugh.

[Scripted Away]

She looked at Jim. he looked somewhat ashamed. "you know, it's no weakness to need help sometimes. And the other didn't notice. Well, except Macon, maybe...he keeps baffling how easily he can see the feelings of others." Rachel winked. "But don't worry, you arestill the cool and tough guy. and you are danger. whenever i'm near you i get hurt sooner or later!", she laughed.

Mac could just nod. Although he was happy for Ray and Jim to be together and he loved Hunter, he was still caring for Rachel as a friend. and though he didn't want to confess it to himself-he didn't want Jim to be hurt either. He knew Jim had always seen him as somebidy you couldn't trust. The outsider. But during the time down here in this HACK outpost, he had started to see Jim as a friend.

As Davis walked away Rachel looked up to Jim. she tried to hide her fear. "sorry to say that, Jim but i really dislike your father."

[I quit:)]

Jim just smiled at Rachel. The words his father said kept appearing in his head, getting louder and louder. "Don't you like the cage I gave you? I bet Jim does."
Davis still couldn't stop hurting him.
This was the cage.
He shivered and looked at his girlfriend. Should he tell her?
Could he tell her?

Hunter looked at Mac. He was tinking about something, but she couldn't figure out what. "What are you thinking about?"

[Scripted Away]

Rachel stared at Jim. When he was shivering like that, it was something serious.
"Jim? What is it? what did your father mean?"

"Huh?", Macon flinched. "oh, i was thinking about Jim..."

[I quit:)]

He bit his lip. Was he able to tell her yet? He hadn't told anybody. The only ones who knew were him and his dad.
He took a deep breath.
"You see those scratches on the walls?", he pointed at the wall behind them. "A 8-year-old boy made them. He was an anom. Could shift into a fox. He got executed, because he'd stolen some food out of the HACK kitchen. My father shot him, right in his heart. I was there. Why didn't I do anything? He was only 8." Jim stood up and walked to the bars.
"His name was Jack."
He took a deep breath.
"Jack Davis."

Hunter took his hand. "What were you thinking then?"

[Scripted Away]

Rachel was shocked. "y-you had a brother?"
She sat down on the floor. "you...just watched?"
She knew Jim had been through much. too much for anybody to survive it without being scarred inside.
But his own brother? her thoughts were rushing. He didn't help his own brother...? she thought of Jamie. She would die for him, do everything for him.
"that's why your fathet said we don't have much time together anymore...he thinks i will break up because of it..."

Macon smiled weakly. "i was thinking that,although Jim never liked me, I see him as a friend. I hope nothing happened to the two.."

[I quit:)]

Jim didn't turn around. He couldn't look into Rachel's eyes now. "I tried to help. I even offered to take his place..." He squeezed the bars he held on to.
"My father must've found out I was planning a rescue-plan...He gave me the wrong time. When I arrived, my father was just pointing the gun...I wouldn't have been able to reach him. I'm fast, but not that fast."
He could feel the anger and guilt building inside him.
"When we were still younger, I always jumped in front of him so father would hit me instead of him....And...It even got worse when I had to shoot...Jamie. They don't look that much different from eachother. The only difference was hair color."
He sighed. He could already see Rachel pointing at him, shouting 'monster'.

Hunter nodded. "He sees you as a friend too. I don't think you've noticed, but he looked at you as if you were his brother, you know, when you two were talking. When I and Rey were blacked out." she flinched.
