Chapter Three (C): Jake & Thorchan

[Akirapryde]

Kimiko was shanking as she just set there staring in to the body of the assassin. She couldn’t talk, couldn’t move. She didn’t even realize that Jake had moved his hand up and carefully took the emptied weapon from her shacking hands. Jake glanced at the pistol and saw that the weapon had been emptied. As the weapon was removed from her hands, Kimiko broke down and started to cry. She lunged forward as she coiled her arms around Jake.

With a free arm, Jake comforted her as she cried. She buried her face in Jake’s bloody shirt. He wanted to report in, but he couldn’t pull away from her in her time of emotional need. Jake was surprise because everything seemed to wash away from around him. He had saved her life, and in return she had done the same for him. He couldn’t bring himself from even pulling out his communicator and report in. He wanted to give Kimiko this moment of weakness in private. Jake just closed his eyes as he held her while he comforted her.
