A Night to Remember, A Night to Forget
Lou the name brought Rue pain
His sister gone, buried, realization dawns
Rue pushed her own feelings aside
"I'm sorry your sister died.
I'm the one who brought her home."
"What? How did she die?"
"Not much is known.
Just what is written in the paper
She was involved in some kidnapping caper
Having to do with a Judge whose name
is, I believe, Domain.
She was shot, along with a Pearce Wade
When she tried to come to his aide.
He was to testify against Domain
In order to clear Lou's name.
I'm sorry, I really don't know more."
Jacob swore, he tried to get out of bed
But was hampered by his spinning head
"Please Jacob, stay. I can't let you
wander out there this way."
"Josie will be worried if I don't return."
He tried again his stomach churned
Rue grabbed a pen and paper, she wrote a note.
"I'll inform her you're with me
and you don't wish her to worry.
She can meet us for breakfast
after you've slept the night
And I know for certain
You're doing alright."
Rue opened the door and called for Jujube
"What do you need, Ruechari?"
"I need this note taken
to one Josie Craven.
You'll find her at the circus
Thanks for doing me this service."
