Bad News From The Zones, Tumbleweeds

You wake up early and slip out from under Jet’s embrace and go outside. You check the traps and the perimeter; everything clear.
OCIM I’m lying to Jet. I should tell him the truth.
If I do he will hate me, maybe kill me. I’d rather be dead then live without him but I don’t want to lie to him.
Without the tablets I’m a different person. I’m not Cleric anymore. I’m Star Child, Jet Star’s girl or girlfriend or lover? Whatever he wants to call me. I’m good with as long as I’m his.
Jet walks out yawning and stretching. He sees you sitting watching the horizon. Quietly, he walks over and sits next to you.
OC Good morning Jet Ski
Jet laughs, where do you come up with this stuff?
OC What?
JS Good morning, Star Child. He kisses you. Are we watching the sun rise again?
OC Yes it seems we are.
JS Did you check the perimeter?
OC Yes Kobra Kid, I did. You both laugh. You think he got home ok?
JS Oh yeah, I’m sure they’ll be here late tonight.
OC You worried about introducing me to your family?
JS No my love, I’m sure they will love you just like me. Well not like me or else I’d be jealous but they’ll love you enough. Yes, good.
You smile and say, Ah, leaning in for a kiss. Jet moans in the kiss.
OC You have the best lips for kissing. You kiss him again, a quick one. So soft.
Jet kisses you back expertly caressing her lips and moving down your neck drawing a moan from your lips. Jet smiles and laughs against your skin and mumbles, I love hearing that moan from you. God, it’s sexy.
You laugh, I’m not sexy.
Jet stops, sits up to face you eye to eye. You are truly the sexiest woman I’ve ever known. The way you laugh, smile, kiss, everything. You are intoxicating.
You blush and quietly say, Thank you Jet. I appreciate that. I’ve never thought of myself that way but you make me feel desirable and loved. I like that. A lot. It makes me feel safe, I think I should tell yo-
Before you can finish Jet captures your lips with his. Demanding, deep and passionate. When he releases you he asks, Tell me what?
OC Let’s go back inside
Jet smiles, standing extending his hand for you. He leads you back inside to your make shift bedroom. Closing the door, he turns to you. I love you.
OC I love you too.
JS My Star Child. He smiles, kisses you and lays you down on the bed.

Fun Ghoul, Kobra Kid and Party Poison stop at Dr. Death Defying’s make shift studio to find out more about Crash King’s death.
KK How do you know it was Cleric?
DDD Well we don’t know for sure
FG Then why add to his reputation?!
DDD Look this is something I’d never say on air but Crash King wasn’t just dusted. He was tortured, mangled first. Worst thing we’ve seen from any of the BLI drones or S.C.A.R.E.C.R.O.W.S Hell even Korse isn’t this sadistic.
KK Jesus, that’s messed up. He says quietly.
DDD Cleric is the only one we know of that constantly sweeps the zones and kills all he comes across. Besides, we know Korse was in Battery City when Crash died.
Everyone was quiet for a few minutes.
FG this fucking sucks but we gotta get back on the road.
They say their goodbyes and leave. They ride in silence each thinking about Crash and how quickly life can end.
