Shawn had already watched a movie and Drina still wasn’t back, that was very strange. She usually didn’t leave him home alone for too long and then he began to wonder if she was ok. He tossed the remote onto the table in front of him and got to his feet. He quietly walked out of the condo leaving the door cracked a little just in case he needed to bolt back inside. He looked around the hallway before walking over to the closet that Drina always used.
Drina was trying to walk as fast as she could to her point without being noticed but it was really hard in this area. There were a lot of open areas and groups of people just standing around watching everyone else like she was doing. She took a quick breath held it for a few seconds and released ‘whatever is after them isn’t after me’ she thought to herself but it didn’t make her feel any better till she rounded the corner with her jump point in view.

Tash was well aware that in all honesty she was fine. The paladin were still completely unaware of her ability to jump. Like Jason always said it was him they were after. Still how long would she have to wait till he came back? Where would they have to move to this time. Sighing softly she kept pressed up against the kitchen bench. At least here in this spot she had the advantage to here throughout the house. Should anyone other then Jason enter she'd know.
Jason strolled quickly through the street dead set on finding a safe place to jump. With the paladin out on the street though this wasn't proving to be easy. " Damnit." He muttered. Running a hand through his hair he scanned the street looking for anyone that he could suspect as being paladin.
With another quick scan he ducked into the ally way and crouched low. So far he was good not one of the passerby's had spotted him leaving.

Shawn stood there looking into the empty closet waiting, he would give her a little bit longer to get back home. But the jump point didn't seem that cold. It hadn't been that long that she had been gone but he still couldn't shake the feeling that she was in trouble.
She slowed her pace just a little more, with her point in view she wasn't feeling too nervous anymore. So Drina took a little more time walking over to it just to make sure that she wasn't being followed. Just as she got to her point she stopped and looked around. Everything seemed fine to the eye but she felt a weird sensation. She took a deep breath and turned back around to her point and closed her eyes for a second. She was gone from the alley and back in the hallway of her home.
Drina leaned over to open the door and almost tumbled out of the closet. She looked up in surprise to see Shawn standing right there looking quite uphappy "you're late" he scolded and she gave him an awkward smile but then it hit here "How did you know that I..." he held up a hand "Doesn't matter at this point. You are late and you had me worried. A while ago I got a really bad feeling. Mind explaining?" He told her as she slipped past him and started toward the condo with Shawn not to far behind.

Jase cleared his jump then stepped in the apartment none to suprised to see Tash hidding behind the kitchen counter. " So how does florida sound?" He talked quickly as he moved about the apartment. " Nice beaches..lovely weather this time of year. We haven't been to florida." Wenching open the cuboard he quickly grabbed their bag of money then tossed a bag to tash. " Go fill it with...anything you think you might want. We can grab other clothes but if you really want them. Just grab them." Rubbing his temples he watched her. That usually helped her follow him more willingly if she was able to keep some of her items." Done?"
With a scowl Tasha lugged the bag out of her room then dumped it at his feet. " YOU!" She spoke out angrily. " Said there would be no more moving. " Yeah well I lied. We need to move now so unless you have a better place to go let's leave now."
" Florida has beaches right?" She knew the question from anyone elses mouth was rather stupid but hello she was blind like she could see. " Yes." With a nod of her head she picked up her bag." I want the big bedroom this time." She spoke in a firm tone. Pressing her lips together she sighed softly as Jason grabbed her elbow then jumped her to another unknown place. " We're safe here?" She asked. "For now." He answered. " No that's not good enough. I hate living like this." Shoving his arm she stepped away from him." If I need you i'll jump to you but i'm going for a walk to clear my head." She spoke grumpily. As jason pressed something into her hand she rightly wanted to kick him where it hurt. " And further prove i'm incapable with a blind stick...oh joy." Just to shut up his string of comments though she walked away using the damned thing.

Once inside the apartment Drina proceeded to walk to her bedroom but Shawn grabbed her arm and spun her to face him "Explain" he demanded once again and she slipped her arm free of his grip "I was downtown at the cafe near that park and there were just these two really suspicious looking people. At first I thought nothing of it but then one of them started to panic and then one jumped in plain sight" she quickly explained and then changed paths to head to the kitchen "how long have you know?" Drina called from the kitchen.
Shawn sucked in a breath as he listened to her story and none of it felt right. He ran a hand over his face for a brief second and then followed her to the kitchen "Were you seen?" He asked at the edge of the kitchen, also avoiding her question. "Of course not. Do you think I'm that stupid?" She retorted and then turned to him with her hands on her hips "Answer me Shawn" he hung his head a little bit but then looked up at her "For a while now. Satisfied? I'm a brother I get worried" she couldn't argue with that one but she still didn't like the fact that her brother was keeping an eye on her. "Well it's been a long day and I am truly exhausted. I say it's bedtime" he couldn't agree with her more, so both of them headed off to their rooms.

" Come on Tasha hurry up seriously you're such a girl." Jason whinned at bathroom door. Checking his watch again he rolled his eyes. " Women." He muttered. As the bathroom door opened he quickly grabbed hold of Tash. " You wanted to go to this damned flower festival so let's hurry up and go okay." Not giving her a second to say anything he quickly jumped them to paris.
" It's the carnival of nice. Come on it's france we'll have a good time." She argued back as they walked around. " Can't we just enjoy ourselves for once?" Pursing her lips slightly she stopped to breathe in the heavy scent of flowers. " It smells so beautiful." She spoke softly. " We enjoy ourselves everyday. We live in florida we've got some pretty epic beaches to enjoy." Rolling her eyes she pushed away from her brother." Well go back there then. I'm staying here for the day." Scowling some she kept walking." I mean i thought it would be a nice thing to do. No paladin to bother us..simple things."

Things seemed to have calmed down after that day, their lives turned back to normal and they were usually off doing their own thing. Despite the almost scare the two continued to jump around Paris and they pretended not to know what the other was doing. It sounds pretty nice to some people but it was still kind of a lonely existence. Both Shawn and Drina wished that they could go home to see their family and old friends but just knowing that doing that would put them all in harm’s way.
Drina walked out of the bathroom toweling her hair dry after a nice cool shower “Shawn” she called a bit loudly but she still didn’t get a response. So she walked through the place to find him in the kitchen, she dropped her towel on one of the chairs in the living room and then picked up one of Shawn’s soft stress balls. She gently tossed it at his back and he turned around “What?” He asked a little confused and then picked up the ball from the kitchen floor tossing it back into the living room “It’s a nice day out” she stated and he raised an eyebrow “And that’s supposed to mean something to me?” He asked and then turned around to finish up their lunch “Well I was thinking that since we’ve been spending so much time doing our own thing that maybe today we could do something together” she sat down at one of the two chairs that designated their dining room “Yeah right. You and me do something together…we can barely standing living in the same condo as each other and you want to do something together” He told her and she reached over picking up her towel from the chair and tossed it at his head “Come on, I think we could get along for at least one day”
Shawn jumped a little when the towel hit him, he still couldn’t get over the fact of how mean his sister could be. It wasn’t like he could dodge things that she threw at him when his back was turned. Hell he could barely hear her speaking to him “You probably are just saying that cause you want to keep an eye on me” “No I’m not” Drina got a little louder and he heard that one perfectly “Ok then what is it?” He set the food on the table and picked up his fork to start eating his salad. Drina sat there thinking about if he would believe her or not “I’m lonely ok. I’ve been missing home a lot lately so I figured that we could hang out for a bit, unless you have no problem with me jumping back there for a little bit” she told him though part of her response was rhetorical cause she knew that he would never allow her to do that. Shawn rolled his eyes at his sister’s pettiness “Alright, we can hang out for a while. But don’t even think about running off cause I won’t track your ass down and please try to stay out of trouble”

His footsteps catching up to her made her smile some. " Simple things huh?" Jase asked softly. Tasha smiled then nodded her head. " Face it I'm right. It's Paris let's have a good day together okay." What she'd do for a day without the paladin to ruin it for her. It seemed every time they tried to spend some time away from their apartment they'd run into trouble. " We've been okay for the past month...it's kinda weird. I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. "She admitted. " I know. I'm surprised they haven't found us yet. " He answered. " It's because you've finally stopped jumping around everywhere." She pointed out. Sensing he was about to start an argument she put her hands up in surrender and then kept walking. She definitely wasn't going to risk him jumping them away from France.

"I promise" she made an X over her heart but Shawn just squinted his eyes at her and then nodded his head. "Alright. Go get ready and finish your breakfast" he told her as he took one last bite and then walked back into the kitchen with his dirty plate. Drina bounced out of her chair and hurried into her bedroom to finish getting ready.
Now the two walked along the Paris streets enjoying the nice cool weather and though they couldn't find anything to agree on to do they still were having a good time just being outside with little fear of being chased down. "It's this the life Shawn" she called to him over her shoulder as she danced ahead of them. He gave her a soft smile "Partly" he told her cause he would give anything to be able to go home at least once.

Tash giggled as some of the stall holders tried to get Jase to purchase their wares. " Hey hurry up slow poke you're falling behind and I want some lunch now." Tugging at his arm she relied on him to lead her around the carnival so she could avoid walking into something. " What do you want to eat?" He asked. With a smirk she laughed. " Food." She answered. " Yeah right smart ass. Really what would you like?" With a shrug she leant against him slightly. " Your choice this time. I dragged you to the carnival so you can choose lunch. That way you get to eat something you like." She decided.
As he lead her back through the carnival she frowned stopping only to have Jase keep dragging her through the crowd. " Jase...stop." Turning her head she stopped listening intently. " Someone was following us.." She whispered to him. " It's a carnival everyone is following us." He countered. " No Jase." Shaking her head she let him lead her to a place to eat." We'll hang here have some lunch. If they are here they wont try something in public." So much for France being a good option. Sighing she placed her hands in her lap as she sat down.

"Come on Shawn! You're falling behind" Drina called to her brother as she danced further ahead into the crowd of people. This was one of the best times in France, the carnival "I'm not falling behind, you are just running ahead" he called back to her trying to keep up while she easily maneuvered through the crowd. "Drina!" He called trying to get her to stop before he lost sight of her.
Drina was enjoying all the hustle and bustle of the carnival and couldn't help but dance along with the beat that no one else could hear. She turned around a second later to find her brother but he was gone. "Crap" she hissed to herself and whipped back around to find another way around the crowd and felt herself stumble backwards "I am so sorry" she called out above the crowd out of habit and then looked in front of her to see who she bumped into.
Now there was a shock for Drina. She had never expected to run into someone that was like her. "What are you doing here? If you aren't more careful they are going to catch you and coming back to a place they tracked you too" she told the guy and then looked next to him, of course the girl was near him. Drina still didn't know anything about them but that they were jumpers like her and her brother. "You need to get out of here, you two need to be careful" she leaned in and whispered to them and then turned away from them. Drina needed to find Shawn and quick before the paladins started tracking again.

Jason wasn't as quick to catch on as she was but almost instantly Natasha grabbed Jasons arm a frown on her lips. " You're a jumper." Well that seemed to catch her brothers attention. " Wait how do you know?" He asked. Well..okay maybe he wasn't as quick as she thought. Shaking her head slightly she sighed. " No more paris." Yes she was sad it meant they'd be stuck back in Florida
Turning her head she listened to the girl footsteps as she moved away from them" Stop." She called loudly. " They are looking right now at us." She added in a lower tone. " Whilst we are in public we are safe. " Well that didn't mean they couldn't be arrested. " We should split." Jase said firmly. " No we should make a plan. We can't jump in a crowded place and if we split they'll follow us and then follow our jumps. " She reasoned. " What we need is a good distraction..." This she could count on Jason for. " Come on brother you're not out of tricks are you?" If he could make a distraction they could get away. " I know somewhere safe to jump.." She mentioned to the girl. " Well..it's safe unless they follow us."

Drina had to stop herself from turning around in shock at the girl, she hadn't done anything to give herself away to these two but somehow the girl knew that she was a jumper. Drina took a calm breath and turned to the girl. "If you do anything to bring attention to yourself then they will come and get you. No tricks no jumps" she whispered to the girl hoping that they weren't going to do anything stupid.
"Drina! There you are. What did I tell you about running off? That's it, I'm going home. I am not going to chase you all over this damn fair" he screamed to her and then turned around to walk back home "Wait" she grabbed his arm and spun him to face them. "I didn't run off. The crowd got bigger. Shawn there's a problem" she told him and then turned to the other two. "Ok..." he wasn't getting it "You know what Shawn you're right. Let's go home and show our two new friends our place" She said calling out so if anyone was listening but when she looked back at Shawn he looked confused "Friends?" He questioned and she jabbed him in the ribs "Yes our friends. The ones we've know forever but could never get a chance to come and see our place" then she winked at him "Ah yes, sounds good. This heat is really getting to me" he told her going along with it.
Drina then turned to the other two and grabbed the girls hand "come, we'll show you to our nice, cozy, quiet and out of the way place" she said hoping that they got the hint.

Tash didn't like this at all but what choice did they have. Noticing her unease Jason placed a hand on her shoulder. " My sister can't jump. Only I can." He explained. As a guy approached he half expected it to be the paladin not someone the girl knew. " You two know eachother?" Alright that was okay then he could deal with that.
So they wanted to pretend they were old friends catching up. That was easy to pass off. Not giving Tash the chance to protest he nodded his head. " Alright it will be good to get out of this heat." He agreed. Still Tash didn't seem keen on the idea. " I don't want to." Sensing the panic in her voice he sighed. " Tash we don't have a choice. First chance I get I'll take you back." Pursing her lips she turned her head away from her brother allowing the girl to hold her hand. Back..back where? Did he believe they could go back to Florida now. Dropping her head her shoulders sagged some as her hair fell forward covering her eyes. It was her normal rouse she hated people knowing she was blind.

Shawn nodded his head to the guy and looked at his sister "It's been too long since we've seen each other. We've moved recently" Drina kept going on with rouse and started to walk. Shawn moved closer to the guy "You shouldn't talk so openly about your talents. I'm Shawn by the way and that's my sister Drina" he told the guy and followed closely behind the girls "Drina let's take the short cut home. All this low rumble is getting to me" he called to his sister a little louder then most people would. She looked back at him and nodded sharply and took a turn out of the fair grounds to her alleyway.
Drina had protected the place so it should be safe enough that they wouldn't get caught "and that's ok about your sister. Not everyone has the talents, even for myself it's hard since I've lost almost all of my hearing" he told the guy
