Which berth is yours?" He helps her to her cabin and then >into the shower if that is where she wants to be. > >"Shall I make some coffee while you're busy? Then when I get back you >can tell me how you ended up here." "You haven't missed much not being in touch with Morganna, she's still the same self-important center of attention that she always was." There's a bitterness in her voice as she talks about her sister. "Forever trying to control things and organize things..." Lysia looks at JaCarter with that same cupie doll perfect face that he remembers Morganna had half a dozen years ago, except there's something more symetrical in Lysia's face. Her expression softens and she almost smiles but as fast as it came her face hardens and the scowl returns. She leans into her fresher and turns one the water, setting it to barely a couple of degrees above warm. "Coffee would be lovely Jac." She says as she begins to peal the scrubs off. <> When JaCarter returns he notices a pile of unloaded weapons placed neatly on the upper bunk, their breaches open and the magazines laying near by. The room is a jumble of boxes and crates, he recognizes an old steamer trunk that used to be in Morganna's office, it was a prop from some movie that Morganna and Lysia's mother starred in from years ago. A framed movie poster from "Marakesh" leans against one wall, (ah crud I can't remember Jezebel's dads name) David's smiling face beams out of the poster in sepia tones. A small silver auto injector lays on the bed, empty. The shower hisses away in the fresher and through the frosted door JaCarter can see Lysia sitting on the floor letting the water wash over her.
