Episode 13.

Dave ignored his hand. The leader slowly withdrew his hand back angrily.

"M-Moore?" Hailey quietly asked from behind.

The leader looked at Hailey confused then realized something.

"Oh? Looks like you haven't told 'something' to your girl, Moore"

"Heh! atleast you know that's my girl"

"W-what? Me....you....I am your girl?...." Hailey was flustered. She curled up behind Dave.

" So she is not yours yet. So I can maybe have a chance with her." The leader tries to approach Hailey.

"Back.Off"Dave stops the leader by putting his hand in the way.

"We don't have time for this." And he pushes the leader back and pulled Hailey to go with him.

Suddenly the leader gets a gun out and points it at Hailey and Dave.

"Stop right now or I'll shoot. Give the girl and you can go or else you won't be lucky like last time"

Dave stops.

"Hailey listen to me, I don't want you to get involved so run. Run back to the compartment" Dave said in Hailey's ear.

Hailey nods. She was about to start running when the leader shoots in the same direction 5-6 times aiming Hailey's legs.

Dave pulled her away from the bullet's path.

The leader then pulled the trigger aiming for Hailey again when Dave covered her but the gun didn't shoot. The bullets in the gun were over.

"Looks like you got lucky this time too" The terrorist leader said putting his gun back.

"But try fighting me NOW!" He came aiming at Dave.

"Hailey run!" Dave notified Hailey and started with the fight.

Hailey came back to her compartment hoping nothing would happen to Dave. The terrorist gaurds weren't back yet. Hailey sat on the seat back that was next to Dave's eagerly waiting for him to come back.

An hour or two had passed but Dave wasn't back. Hailey was still waiting. Then she thought of checking the situation out when Dave came back.

He had some cuts on his arms and face with alot of bruises. Some blood was also coming out of his mouth. He just came back and sat down. He gave a small smile to Hailey.

Tears fell down Hailey's cheeks as she saw Dave's condition. His smile faded as he saw Hailey crying.

"Don't cry....I am OK." And he wiped her tears.

"H-how can I not. You got hurt....so badly and it's all because of me. And not this once"

" Hey....hey don't say so. It's not your fault" Dave tried soothing her.

Hailey quickly but quietly got her medical kit which she had for emergencies and used it for Dave's bruises and cuts. It took about half an hour to bandage him up. It was around 8 at night. The gaurds were back.

Hailey was still feeling very sad and sorry for Dave. She still thought that it was her fault that he got hurt. She felt something but didn't show it through emotions.

Hailey's POV:

Maybe.....he is the one....

Dave couldn't see her sad.....so he thought of something.

"Hey! let's go to sleep. It's been a long day." Dave cheerfully said.

"O-Ok" Hailey said with a soft voice.

"But....can I sleep with my head on you. Maybe you try making me fall asleep sooner." Dave said.

Hailey put his head on her lap.

"Hmmm....not here it's not comfortable enough. Maybe a bit more up" Dave said with a smirk.

Hailey did so.

"No a bit more"

Hailey realized where he was trying get to;" Oh I see where you are you are trying to get to. You won't behave will you?"

"Uhhh....heheheh....no that's not what you think it is"

Dave's POV:

I'm dead.

"Well~~ since you are not well at this moment...."

She followed his request.

Dave was red. Hailey was also blushing hard.

But then she put her head on his head and hugged him tightly as if he was her teddy bear, taking care of his injuries. Dave calmed down in the comfort then both fell asleep.
