Teenagers

Kaleb:

Colt couldn't stop the car fast enough and they both flew into the air bags. Kaleb recoverd first jumping out of the car and running to the taxi. The guy had been knocked out when he flew towards the seat so Kaleb pulled Syb to him. She had a cut on her arm, but other wise she looked over.

"YOu ok?" Colt asked walking over a hand on his head. The driver soon joined them and then several police.

"Ya, I don't know about her." He said as an ambulence driver came over making all of them go to the hospital. "Sorry abotu you car." He said looking at Colt.

"I ahve insurence that will pay way more for it then I did. Just don't let htem know that." Colt smiled rubbing his head.

Sybyla

I apparently wasn't completely unconcious.

"Kaleb?" I murmered.

"I'm here baby," he assured me, "you're okay now."

My head felt like somebody was hitting it with a hammer. "Ouch," I mumbled.

"Does your arm hurt?"

"My head." I blacked out again.

Kaleb:

Kaleb frowned, they couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. When tehy finally got there he didn't want anyone checking on him he would rather everyone be in with Syb.

"Relax, she'll be fine." Colt said trying to assure him.

"I know. But I can't help but be anxious." Kaleb replied.

"We're gonna need a guardian's signature." The doctor said walking over. Colt grabbed the pad, read the paper then signed handing it back. "

"You better take care of that girl." He said in a firm tone. The doctor hurried off.

"Thanks." Kaleb muttered.

"Any time, I like you kids, alot."

Sybyla

I woke a couple times within the next few hours, the last time was the time I stayed awake. Kaleb was there holding my hand tightly, and Colt was standing against a wall across the room.

I tried to sit up and groaned as a slight twinge raidated out of my arms. Needles. Ouch. I gave up on that. "Why so many?" I complained.

Kaleb:

"You got beat up pretty good, ones a pain killer, another an antibiotic to keep infection off, then the IV, and who knows what else." Kaleb smiled softly. He kissed her forehead softly. "Hurtin bad?"

"Just a little." She said a small smile forming on her lips. He brushed a trindle of hair from her face and nodded.

"That's expected, but not wanted." He chuckled. "You bout got yourself killed."

"What he's tryin to say was we were coming after you." Colt said a little softer.

Sybyla

"I expected that, but I had the oppertunity and I took it," I said weakly.

Colt chuckled across the room, "you're cute kid, no wonder Kaleb fell for you."

"I'm not that cute," I protested, "there is a large number of people who don't like me, like my dad." I was starting to feel tired, what were we talking about again?

Kaleb kissed my forehead again, "get some sleep Syb you sound tired."

"Mmmm, yes." I drifted off again.

Kaleb:

"She got image problems?" Colt asked chuckling.

"Just a little." Kaleb said tracing Syb's hand with his finger.

"What about her dad?"

"Abusive."

"Oh, that stinks."

"Yup, that's why we're out here."

"Good."

*that was a horrible psot*

*Sorry dear it was XD*

Sybyla

A week later I was sitting at a blackjack table, but not mine. Or my old one. I had finally gotten good at the game and we had quit our jobs, now we were gamblers, making our living like that.

*Mine's just as bad*

**I know mine was. **

Kaleb:

Kaleb had his arm around Syb as she played her hand. He wasn't in on this one, but he was enjoying watching her win. He watched for when they should leave and hit another casino.

"Good job, Lovey." That was their code for time to go. She smiled and played the next round. They gathered the chips and walked of. He couldn't believe how amazing she was at these games. "I need to find a way to support us too, you can't just do it on your own." He smiled.

Sybyla

I smiled and leaned into him pocketing the money. "You do enough," I whispered.

He frowned, "how?"

I kissed his chin, "you keep us safe."

"I still want to learn how to do something," he protested.

I grinned, "lets learn how to count cards then."

Kaleb:

Kaleb raised his eyebrows and smiled. "How about you do that, I'll protect." She laughed.

"And why"?"

"Counting never was my strong suit." He admitted.

Sybyla

I laughed slightly again, "how about we try poker for you then?" I suggested. "Texas hold 'em would be the easiest I believe. Easiest to win, difficult to learn."

"How do you know so much about poker?"

"When I was in the 10th grade I had to figure out a way to support myself and feed myself too, thats when it started at least, and I found the underground poker ring at the highschool and used that."

Kaleb looked at me with amazed eyes.

Kaleb:

Kaleb smiled when she shrugged. "Alright, love, let's get to work. I"m sure we can afford to take the day off." She laughed at that.

"We can afford a week or more off." She grinned. "Maybe even a year."

Sybyla

We stopped at the bank before it closed and deposited most of the money, as per usual they didn't ask questions about depositing a giant wad of money.

We drove to the grocery store and bought a few food items before we went home and began our training.

Kaleb:

After hours of 'training' Kaleb collapsed on the couch. "My head hurts." HE laughed. "There's a reason I didn't mind dropping school."
