Sleep was fleeting, I tried, I closed my eyes and counted the sheep. All it did was remind me she was gone. Every breath and slightest motion were also there to remind me. The pain boiled under the surface, threatening to shreak out of my mouth. I bit the pillow, hoping to hid any sounds that mght escape.
I couldn't even reply when Sin knocked on the door, it was better if he thought I was asleep. I feared how he would react if I started screaming. If he barged in to see Remmi... Or she returned while he was standing in the door way. If he saw the two of us, Michael would win and Bishop would be lost to us all.
The door rattling made my eyes open and stare at the door, sleep wasn't happening anyway. Luckily it never opened as Sin could be heard cussing. "Nero?"
A break in the swearing to call out, I bit harder on the pillow, causing my teeth to hurt. Remmi needed to hurry...

"Damnit." I pulled my phone out, at first wanting to call Garrett, to ask where the spare keys were hidden. That wold be the easiest solution, but I didn't want to be the one who inturrputed him and the heritic. So I did the one I didn't want to do but only because I wasn't going to be the who left her unsupervised either. I scrolled to the 'C's' and called the idiot who was appearently keeping close eyes on everything for Garrett.
"... Shut up Cell. I need you to bring me the spare keys to the safe house... YES the Vegas safe house... Just get here." I hung up the phone, already regretting the phone call. However I know Cell is trusted with Bishop and I wouldn't bring just anyone to the safe house with Nero.
I was pacing when a knock came the the door. Peeking through the small hole revealed no one. "Hello?" No response, so I opened the door to find no one. Just a neighbor kid playing across the street. "Stupid kids." I closed the door and shook my head, pacing again.

I placed a hand on her forehead, at least what I could see of it. She felt like she was on fire. Her eyes flickered open and I could see the smile in her eyes. Than I noticed she was basically eating the pillow.
"It's ok..." I kneeled down, meeting eye levels with her. I whispered as I moved her hair from her face. "He doesn't remember anything and she's next."
"Is he alive?" She finally stopped biting the pillow to ask the question I debated about. If I was more like Nero he'd be dead... But I wasn't and it wouldn't help either of us. "Yes." A tear ran from her exposed eye as I leaned my head into hers. The room was empty as Nero was finally able to close her eyes. The mind numbing pain finally dulled to barely nothing as she was quick to pass out.

The door opened as Cell entered the house, closing the door behind him. I didn't event bother with a greeting. Reaching my hand out for the keys, antsy to check on her. "Keys."

Cell walked into the safe house, a certain strut to his step. After walking a few steps past Sin, he spins on his heels to face him with a smile on his face.
"Please Cell, may I have the keys you brought to me from across town?"
Cell holds the keys out, lifting them up slightly every time Sin reaches for them.

Annoyed I gave him a quick gut check, grabbing the keys and heading towards Nero's room. "You are an idiot and you can leave now."

Cell follows Sin as he begins to walk for the door, rubbing his stomach slightly.
"I COULD yeah, but that's not what I'm GOING to do. You should have said, 'You ARE leaving now.' Be more assertive Willy."

"Call me that again Cell... I will have you shoveling shit at a petting zoo in Africa. And shut your mouth, how's that for assertive." My tone was low, near a growl as I unlocked the door to Nero. Quietly opening it to see her sleeping, the pillow being used as pillow now instead of a bit.
"Do not wake her." I was whispering, to express my point.

"Now why would I do that? I know she needs the sleep."
Cell puts his chin on Sin's shoulder as he stands behind him within the doorway.
"How's Bishop?"

I shrugged him off my shoulder as I closed the door, making sure not to lock it. I walked away from him and the door, shaking my head... I should have just bothered Bishop.
"He's as good as he can be Cell, but she'll help him through it, so will the church."

Cell pumps his fist into the air.
"Ha-rah for the cross."
His tone and words would say contempt for the church, yet he held another but support. It was just funny to poke the warriors with their own swords.

"Why Garrett tolerates you is beyond me, but I trust you know enough to keep who's here to yourself."

An overdose of sarcasm could be important to avoid for some people.
"Of course, Sin. No one will know you invited me over to your house."
Cell was never one of those people. A defining trait, maybe the reason he liked Devlin so much.

"Next time I risk pissing off Garrett before I call you over. Nero would be better company than you Cell."

Cell falls forward onto the couch and closes his eyes.
"We'll just wait for him then, shall we?"
