He'll explain later why he hesitated. It would have been the second time he stopped her from heading into the night...and though her time was desired, well he felt odd stopping her again. He looked to Edna as Jessie left and she was grinning ear to ear, which was unsettling a bit.<br/><br/>“Shut it you old bag, you know nothing. I was an ancient being before you were born.”<br/><br/>He was trying to tell her to bugger off but that didn't seem to be working a bit.<br/><br/>“I haven't seen you like this dear. Its nice...”<br/><br/>IT was all she would say before getting him another cup of coffee and leaving him be in the table in the corner. He would sit there for a while mulling over his decision to say yes and it would certainly be something he was going to stick to. He had his own code, and one of his rules was that when he said yes he'd stick to it simple as that.<br/><br/>“Fuck Edna, I have to go see the Iron Giant eh?”<br/><br/>From the back room she cackled an almost sadistic cackle, the one where you know your friend is going to be set up with someone terrible but its complete payback for something they did to you.<br/><br/>“Fucking weapons nerd.”<br/><br/>Edna poked her head around the corner.<br/><br/>“You try living alone for three hundred years with hardly any visitors. You'd be a bit happy to see someone too. At least he was a good fuck...”<br/><br/>Luther looked up just looking mortified at Edna. She started laughing again before heading to the back.<br/><br/>“Alright, Gotta do what I gotta do.”<br/><br/>and time passed...<br/><br/>Jessie's Bodyguards were getting ready, they were waiting for the one to arrive to take her to the party, specially picked they were told to be the most bad ass mother fucker around. Ugly as sin but there was no one tougher.<br/><br/>The car pulls up and this bodyguard is escorted up to the room.<br/><br/>“What happened to Leo?”<br/><br/>The new bodyguard just smiled, Jessie would be able to hear this next part.<br/><br/>“Don't worry about Leo, he came down with a bad case of the shits. I'm Ed, trust me she will be perfectly safe.”<br/><br/>There 'Ed' would stand. He worse a suit the color of cigar smoke, with a dark red shirt underneath. His hair was clean and pulled back into a pony tail and he wore a fedora to match. One had to admit, he cleaned up good.
