(No worries  hon!)

Sam joined them somewhere in the middle of the impromptu race, But didn't stop them, though Jacob could practically feel the mental eye rolling as he realized what the pair was up to. He had just come from with Emily, his soulmate, so that made Jacob doubly grateful he had the race to distract him from the Loving Way Sam's thoughts lingered on her face. He didn't particularly want to get caught cringing away from them. Racing along the border line, he concentrated very hard on the feeling of the bunch and pull of his muscles as he ran, the smell of vampire in the air, the heaving of air in and out of his lungs...
[I]Looks like I win this one.[/I] Jacob thought somewhat smugly as he caught sight of the road through a break in the trees.

[I] not again![/I] Embry complained, slowing his run somewhat as he broke out onto the edge of a cliff.

Taking in a deep gulp of fresh air, Jacob threw back his head and released a loud long howl of victory, looping around a tree and heading back in the direction of his starting point. Embry heard and grumbled about Jacob having an unfair advantage with his longer legs.

[I]All right, that's enough, both of you.[/I]  Sam broke in, annoyed by the increasing complaints. [I] either of you care to report on the actual border?[/I]

The thrill of winning the race faded away with the question and some of Jacob's sullen mood returned, his howl dying into silence. His pace slowed automatically, head swiveling as he ran his gaze over the trees. [I] There's no trace of blood sucker on the half I checked.[/I] He finally said. [I] unfortunately.[/I] He tacked on, ignoring the disapproval he could feel coming from Embry.

[I]I didn't notice anything either.[/I] The other added after a moment.

Sam sighed, an underlying current of hate for the Cullens  coloring his thoughts. [I]Keep your eyes open and your nose alert on your way back, we wouldn't want them slipping through. Meet me to head over to the other side of town to check the borders there.[/I]

Jacob sighed himself. It looked like it was going to turn into a very long day...
