I can’t reach you,”
he said, still watching her closely.
    Emily glanced again at the windows, and then
dropped down into his arms, “Oh… my… God.”
    “ What? Just tell me,”
Chevalier said, amused.
    Emily crawled out of his arms and pushed on
the door, “Kyle! Let us out.”
    “ Kralen!” Chevalier called.
“Let me out, this instant.”
    “ I think Kralen’s
occupied,” Emily said, and blushed deeper. “Kyle!”
    “ Yes, we have,” Chevalier
said, and smiled at Emily as she frowned.
    Emily cried out when the floor spun and she
fell forward into Zohn’s arms. She pulled away from him quickly,
then slapped him across the face, “Never, do that again.”
    Zohn chuckled, “Wasn’t my idea.”
    Emily stormed out, still blushing.
    “ What do those windows in
the bar look out over?” Chevalier asked after she left.
    “ I don’t know,” Kyle said.
“I’ve never looked.”
    “ Thanks for dealing with
Exavior,” Chevalier said to Kyle.
    Kyle nodded, “I didn’t mean to lose my
temper in front of Emily though.”
    “ Do you know he’s kissed
her before… a lot?”
    “ He has?”
    “ Apparently… and… never
lock me up again, or I’ll have to kill all of you,” Chevalier said,
and walked out of the room.
    “ He’ll get over it, it
worked,” Quinn said, walking out with a grin.
    Zohn ran to catch up with Chevalier, “Did
she agree to the test?”
    “ No, she
didn’t.”
    “ We should all go talk to
her again,” Quinn said when he caught up to them.
    “ She won’t change her
mind,” Chevalier told them as they walked into the bedroom. They
all stopped and looked at Emily. She was on the phone in the
corner.
    “ Just tell me, Exavior,”
Emily said, frustrated. “That’s bullshit, just tell me.”
    There was a long pause and Emily sighed,
“No, I won’t agree to marry you if you tell me.”
    Chevalier growled slightly.
    “ No! I don’t want to talk
to….” Emily sat down, “Hello, Sotomar.”
    “ Thank you, but Kyle
handled it.”
    “ Yes, he did.” There was a
pause before she continued, “No I’m not going to disappear over
that. I told you, Kyle handled it.”
    Chevalier moved up and took the phone as
Sotomar spoke, “I just want to make sure that you aren’t going to
leave.”
    “ She’s not leaving,”
Chevalier said, and shut the phone.
    Emily sighed, “Exavior won’t tell me how he
found me. All he’ll say is how much he loves me, but I have a
theory.”
    “ Oh, do tell,” Chevalier
said, obviously irritated.
    “ I think when I was getting
that massage, Sotomar put a tracking device on my Durango. Maybe
even bugged it,” Emily said, and headed out of the bedroom,
followed by the Equites Elders.
    “ Good evening, Ma’am,”
Kralen said at the bottom of the stairs.
    Emily looked up at him with wide eyes, and a
dark blush rose into her cheeks, “Erm… he… umm… I’m… do you…?”
    “ What’s wrong, Em?”
Chevalier asked, amused at how flustered she was.
    “ He… they, I mean… is…”
Emily blushed further, and ran out of the palace and into the
garage.
    “ What’d you do to her?”
Kyle asked Kralen.
    “ Nothing, Sir,” Kralen
said, confused.
    Chevalier ran for the garage when he heard
the Jeep start up, and was soon in his Humvee with Kyle, Zohn, and
Quinn. He punched it and spun out before gaining traction and
speeding out after the Jeep Rubicon.
    Chevalier grabbed his cell phone when it
rang, “Yes?”
    A grin crossed his face and he shut it
quickly. He floored the Humvee, and it quickly picked up speed,
catching up to the Jeep.
    “ What?” Kyle asked from the
passenger seat.
    “ Emily said the winner gets
a massage,” Chevalier said, and his face lit up.
    They saw the Jeep slow for a second when
Emily popped it into 4-wheel drive, and then she turned a sharp
left and headed across a rocky field. Chevalier followed her and
almost caught up when she headed up a cliff.
    “ You can’t beat her Jeep.
This is too heavy,” Zohn
