Standing beside Papi, she listened to the woman’s words and blinked in realization that the woman was deaf. No wonder she didn’t answer me earlier. Suddenly, the ebony-haired woman felt her cheeks flared to life, thoroughly embarrassed that she hadn’t figured it out sooner. Then again, how was she to know?

Kneeling down beside Jodi, Jenny watched over her…making sure the light shone down on her face. "My name is Jenny. Just remain still, okay? I don’t want you to be pained anymore than you already are." she said, moving her lips in such a way to make sure they were able to be read. Dainty fingers stroked away the stray strands lapping over the woman’s pained face, sighing with relief when Papi had returned.

Being more than willing to help at any costs, she remained knelt down and moved, taking the mirror to place it in just the right spot so that loads of light shone down for Papi to see. She felt the migraine pounding inside her head, but she pushed that all aside and concentrated on helping. After all, if it were she in this predicament, she’d want the help of a kind person. Especially if that person were Papi.

Shane McCutcheon & Paige Sobel

Shane was shocked at her own honesty, she hadn’t meant to tell Paige all of that. But it was a bit hard to take it back now.

"No, I…" she started and then looked confused up at Paige. "If he’s out there… I’m not gonna look for him. If he can stay away from them, stay away from that place, then I don’t want to do anything that might make them find him again. He’s innocent, he shouldn’t be in there."

She picked up one of the newspapers and started tearing out pages again. "But thanks for saying that. And… I’m sorry for pouring all of that out on you."

"I only meant that if you found him, then maybe there’s something that can be done to clear his name." Paige sighed, wanting so badly just to see Shane smile. It had been so nice seeing glimpses of it earlier that day, but now any attempt to cheer the woman up didn’t seem to be working. "It’s really not my business though."
