Second Chances (Mobius & Sgt Gomez)

[Sgt Gomez]

"Boots might help keep your feet clean," he smiles at her.

 

[Mobius]

Shane nodded and went over by the footwear, sighing to herself as she looked at the boots. Those she would have to try on.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

Michael grabbed the clothes from her so she wouldn't have to fumble with them.

 

[Mobius]

"Thanks," Shane mumbled, surprised by the action. She took a pair of boots and slipped them on, walking a few steps and nodding to herself. They would work.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"Wow you chose the right size immediately?" he smiles and carries the clothes over to Heather.

 

[Mobius]

Shane swapped her shoes back to the ones she had on and chuckled, nodding. "I have a knack for that," she told him.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

Michael paid for everything and they went back to the farm. "You ready for some real work?"

 

[Mobius]

Shane shot him a semi-glare. "What now?" She ground out.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"Well we have our chores done for the day, I thought why not try to teach you how to ride a horse."

 

[Mobius]

Shane sighed quietly of relief. "Oh, alright then," she replied, running a hand through her hair.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

Michael was still trying to figure this girl out, but he was having a hard time, "So Shane, tell me about yourself..."

 

[Mobius]

Shane narrowed her eyes at him. "Like what?" She asked slowly.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"I don't know whatever you want to tell me, I'm just trying to get to know you."

 

[Mobius]

Shane shrugged,"I don't know... there's not much to tell."

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"Come on, stop being so mysterious," he laughs.

 

[Mobius]

Shane shrugged again,"I don't know! There's nothing really interesting about me..."

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"What got you in trouble in the first place?" he asks.

 

[Mobius]

Shane sighed and put her hands in her pockets. "My parents were involved with drugs and got arrested... I ran before the authorities could take me to a stupid home or whatever. I was on my own, too young to work, so I had no choice but to steal food..." She muttered.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"You were caught stealing?" he asks. "What happened next?"

 

[Mobius]

Shane shot him a glare, signifying he'd pushed too far. It was hard enough for her to get that stuff out.

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"S-Sorry..." he says apologetically. "Hopefully here you will find a purpose or feel like you aren't alone." he smiles.

 

[Mobius]

Shane sighed quietly and shrugged, muttering under her breath,"Maybe..."

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"Well you really hit it off with Zimbabwe, that's for sure."

 

[Mobius]

Shane chuckled and smiled. "Yeah... I didn't see that coming..." She said with a shake of her head. She then sighed and whispered to herself,"Maybe we just understand each other..."

 

[Sgt Gomez]

"That is probably true, hey listen...I know we just met but..." he blushes which was rare for Michael. "Did you want to go watch the sky later with me?"
