A/N: Hey guys, really sorry for the long wait. Had some stuff going on. And was experiencing some writer's block on top of that. Thanks for understanding. 

Alx P.O.V.

Paperwork. Approvals. And permissions.

AKA desk work.

Not the best things to be doing with limited construction.

And where is my consecration?

Shayla.

Thoughts of her. And images of her. Being the only things granted any concentration. Especially the look of shock that played on her face last night.
she had no control over it. I couldn't help but find it adorable, and maybe a little bit funny too. But then I remember why she was shocked. And the fact that she was shocked is not as fantastic.

Chris sitting in front of me brings me back to the present. 

"Morning." not lifting my head, still trying to do my work. Despite the non-existent progress.

"Morning. I tried to mind-link you. And I rang your door bell like five times." he informs me as if stating a fact. But I know it holds a question.

"Hmm.Yes. Umm. I just got a lot on my mind at the moment. Is it something important?" looking up from my papers and sitting straighter. 

"Not overly. No." leaning back in his chair.

"Well then, what is it?" becoming more relaxed myself.

"You know how I have do inspect the cells for the full moon?"

"Yes."

"I was thinking of taking Shayla with me. So I can show her how the locks work, safest way in and out. And everything."

No. I don't like the sound of that. I'm getting a really bad feeling. 

I don't want her there. No where near there.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Chris."

"I understand. But she needs to know where to take me if I do go bat shit."

"You were fine last time."

"You know it's pulling straws with me. All I'm going to do is show her how everything works. For her own safety. that's all."

for her own safety?

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"I'll allow it. Under the condition that you keep her well out of harm's way."

"Will do. We'll be the only ones there." he informs me quite simply.

No that's not going to cut it.

"I mean it, Chris. You need to keep a very close eye on her. She can never leave your sights. She can not wonder. At all." 

"I know. She's my sister. I don't want any harm to come to her. She won't be going anywhere without my say so." stated with all honesty and reinsurance.

But it still doesn't take away this bad feeling. I still feel uneasy.

I find myself rubbing my chin as I think it over. I really don't want her there. The thought alone makes me worry.

But she needs to know how these things work. Just in case. I hope it doesn't come to that. But just in case. Better safe than sorry. Yeah, just in case.

"Ok."

With that, he nods and leaves.

How the hell am I supposed to get any work done now?!
