He held his arms out to the sides, palms
back, as if there was something behind him he was trying to protect
?Just calm down, okay?? His deep voice carried over the cacophony?Back off, Jared, you're
scaring her!?
A flash of black hair behind his elbow?an unfamiliar face, with wide, terrified black eyes,
peeked around at the crowd
Jared was closest to KyleI could see that the back of his neck was bright redJamie clung to
one of his arms, holding him backIan was on his other side, his arms crossed in front of him,
the muscles in his shoulders tight with strainBehind them, every other human but Doc and Jeb
was massed in an angry throngThey surged behind Jared and Ian, asking loud, angry questions
?What were you thinking??
?How dare http://www.snluxury.com/scategory_26_Chanel-Jewelry.html" target="_blank you??
?Why'd you come back at all??
Jeb was in the back corner, just watching
Sharon's brilliant hair caught my eyeI was surprised to see her, with Maggie, right in the center
of the crowdThey'd both been so little a part of life here ever since Doc and I had healed Jamie
Never in the middle of things
It's the fight,Mel guessedhey weren't comfortable with happiness, but they're at home with
fury
I thought she was probably right
I heard a shrill voice throwing out some of the angry questions and realized that Lacey was part
of the crowd, too
?Wanda?? Kyle's voice carried across the noise again, and I looked up to see his deep blue eyes
locked on me?Thereyou are! Could youplease come and give me a little help here??

Jeb cleared a path for me, pushing people aside with his rifle as though they were sheep and the
gun a shepherd's staff
?That's enough,? he growled at those who complained?You'll get a chance to dress 'im down
laterLet's get this sorted out first, okay? Let me through
From the corner of my eye, I saw Sharon and Maggie fall to the back of the crowd, melting
away from the reinstatement of reasonAway from my involvement, really, more than anything
elseBoth with jaws locked, they continued to glare at Kyle
Jared and Ian were the last two Jeb shoved asideI brushed both of their arms as I passed,
hoping to help calm them
?Okay, Kyle,? Jeb said, smacking the barrel of the gun against his palm?Don't try to excuse
yourself, 'cause http://www.snluxury.com/category_6_Fendi_1.html" target="_blank there ain't no excuseI'm plain torn between kickin' ya out and shootin' ya now
The little face, pale under the deep tan of her skin, peeped around Kyle's elbow again with a
swish of long, curly black hairThe girl's mouth was hanging open in horror, her dark eyes
franticI thought I could see a faint sheen to those eyes, a hint of silver behind the black
?But right now, let's calm everybody down Jeb turned around, gun held low across his body,
and suddenly it was as if he were guarding Kyle and the little face behind himHe glared at the
mob?Kyle's got a guest, and you're scarin' the snot out of her, peopleI think you can all dig up
some better manners than thatNow, all of you clear out and get to work on something useful
My http://www.snluxury.com/category_27_Chanel-Watches_1.html" target="_blank cantaloupes are dyingSomebody do something about that, hear??
He waited until the muttering crowd slowly dispersedNow that I could see their faces, I could
tell that they were already getting over it, most of them, anywayThis wasn't so bad, not after
what they'd been fearing the last few daysYes, Kyle was a self-absorbed idiot, their faces
seemed to say, but at least he was back, no harm doneNo evacuation, no danger of the
SeekersNo more than usual, anywayHe'd brought another worm back, but then, weren't the
caves full of them these days?
It just wasn't as shocking as it used to be
Many went back toward their interrupted lunch, others returned to the irrigation barrel, others
to their roomsSoon only Jared, Ian, and Jamie were left beside http://www.snluxury.com/categorys_105_Chanel-Earrings_1.html" target="_blank me
