The view from the balcony was beautiful, you could see most of the city and the hills beyond. Wind was blowing at a slow pace that was capable of relaxing anyone. The building was facing the majority of the city and another hotel across the way. It resembled the city she had left behind but seemed brighter and didn't radiate a dangerous feeling like the old one did. She was about to do something that she hadn't been able to do for what seemed like forever. A deep breath. Meg filled her lungs with the cool night air and closed her eyes. Her ears picked up the sounds of cars driving below and leaves rustling around the trees that reached for the stars. Taking another deep breath she opened her eyes. It was quiet and felt contained. Was she actually safe and not being followed? The door slid open behind her and Edward stepped out with two drinks.
"How're you doing out here?"
"It's....peaceful."
"That's a word I didn't think I'd hear again for a while."
"Almost forgot what it was like to just exist."
He handed her a glass of wine.
"Riesling."
Her favorite. She took a sip and felt it travel down her throat and through her chest.
"A weird part of me doesn't want to find that case so we could just keep doing this. Minus all the running from danger."
"We find that case, me and you will travel the world every day. More than just cities and forests."
"I've always wanted to fly overseas. Places it doesn't rain every single day."
They took sips of their drinks and some wind chimes rang in the distance.
"If things had gone different and you didn't become a detective, what would you have gone into?"
"I dunno, this has been something I've chased for so long. But honestly, probably writing. I always liked the way just a few words could create emotions and a whole world in the reader's head."
"Crime stories?"
"Possibly. Or love stories with a short brown eyed girl."
She blushed. The sun had set and the lights of the surrounding buildings were the only thing lighting them up in the night.
"What about you? What would be your dream career?"
She thought for a moment but knew what she'd been climbing the ladder for. "I want to help people. Anything from Human Resources to just helping in any kind of capacity like some sort of guidance counselor. Knowing I made a difference or even gave someone else hope is one of the greatest feelings I can imagine."
"You're one of the rare ones you know that?"
More blushing, she was practically a strawberry at this point.
"Hey, I saw a little restaurant on our way in that looked nice. Kind of a nightclub combination. If you're hungry I'd like to take you tonight."
"Dinner date? My tummy says yes sir."
He pulled her close and their lips met. They kissed for a few moments and put their glasses down. He kissed her neck and her eyes closed. As he continued kissing her, he turned her around to be behind and she held the railing of the balcony. She felt her pants being taken down, the cool breeze hitting her bare behind.
"Darlin, we're outside, someone could see us from across the..."
She felt him enter her. Letting out a small gasp she watched the windows across from her. It wasn't long before she stopped caring and let her body fill with ecstasy. Her legs were shaking while her moans went out into the night sky.
The Royal Darkness wasn't a gang to be messed with. There was years upon years of legends surrounding them and it was rare when they were even affordable to offer any sort of help. Dante was the boss in charge and always brought with him a couple of henchmen to take care of situations that he didn't want to get his hands dirty with. Today wasn't a particularly good day but he did owe this idiot a favor, even if he didn't agree with that. He was currently in the elevator going up to the top floor. The final floor dinged and he walked out and into a large room with windows reaching the ceiling and overlooking the city. A man faced the windows and a woman was washing the floor near a large desk. The doors shut and he approached the man.
"Price"
"Dante, it's been a while. Still have a small army with you I see."
"One can never be too careful."
"I am well aware of how you work and I wouldn't ask this of you unless it was a dire situation."
"Even so, I'm still going out of my way to help someone under me."
"This is a very serious and personal matter, the quicker we handle this the quicker I'll be a ghost to you."
"Before you go blabbering more, just what is it you need?"
"There is a family heir loom that ended up in the wrong hands that I'd like back. There are two pain in the asses who know where it is and I've chased them halfway to the damn coast."
"And you were unable to procure them?"
"I don't know how the hell they are doing it but they've managed to take out every man I've sent after them."
"So you need me to clean up and help you do what you're weak little establishment can't do?"
"In somewhat different words but yes."
"Barring the favor, what could I possibly get out of this?"
"The loot in the case is all yours, a cool million."
"Peanuts."
"I'll triple it, that's three million with no strings attached and then I disappear."
"I don't need money you little shit."
"Well what do you need? I'll make you any deal to get that back."
"I want half your establishment."
"H....half?"
"Pretty sure I didn't stutter but I have been known to not notice it but yes half."
"That's half of everything I've got going for me."
"Yes, yes it is."
"I don't know about half. Maybe there's a job or two I can do for you, I mean this is just you paying back a favor then we're squared."
"I am aware of what the situation is but I don't like it. Not good enough to get involved even if I do owe you a favor. This is beneath me."
"I promise you, it's just a quick easy job and then you'll never hear from me again."
"For a case of money?"
"The case is the personal part. It was my mother's. She's gone now and I don't have much to remember her by."
"That is touching, you do have a heart after all. Half your company Price or I walk out of those doors now."
Price thought for a long moment, the only sound in the room being the woman cleaning up her piss off the floor.
"I'd have to start something new or retire I guess."
"Not my concern Price, fifty or I'm gone."
"F...fine."
"Good, you're wiser than you look. My men will draw up an agreement. In the meantime I'd like a drink.....and a different room to speak in. This one smells of piss."
Meg came out of the bathroom in a long black dress that hugged her in all the right places. She had run out and bought a pair of high heels for just this occasion, she had a bit of an obsession with shoes like that. Edward got up off the bed with eyes wide. "Damn dew drop. You are so beautiful."
"Yeah I clean up good."
They shared a laugh and kissed before leaving the hotel. The streets were much better to walk down compared to the last place they were at and it was actually very nice. It reminded her of when she was younger and going down city streets with her friends and laughing and staying out late and visiting different bars. The club they were going to was called Bugaboo and looked far classier than she thought it would.
Inside they were seating at a nice table in the middle of the place and discovered a stage in front of them for entertainment. Daisies sat in a cup on the table and they ordered their meals while looking in one another's eyes and rubbing feet under the table like school children. Once their food arrived the lights went down low and a woman came out with a piano man and began singing a low tempo song filled with emotion. The spotlight on her shone her like a goddess above her angels of the crowd as her voice carried their meals to a whole new level.
Darlin', you can count on me
Til the sun dries up the sea
Until then, I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you
The mood was elevated to a place where Meg was on cloud nine. He held her hand as they pushed their chairs closer together and watched the woman sing. Halfway through the first song she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. It was all worth it. The running, the hiding, the killing, being shot in the arm, the threats, the sweat and tears. It was all worth it just for this moment. Meg kept her eyes closed for the rest of the woman's set and never let go of Edward's hand. She said a prayer under her breath and enjoyed every single last note of their dinner date. God help the person who tried to interrupt or shoot at her tonight.
The audience clapped as the man at the piano played the final notes of the evening, the woman proud that her voice could captivate so many. "Thank you so much for coming out, you are why I'm able to follow my dreams, I hope you all have a beautiful night and a absolutely wonderful life." She walked off stage and the lights resumed their original brightness.
"Ready to go dew drop?"
"Maybe a few more minutes."
"You okay?"
"Absolutely wonderful."

New City New Threat
The road was a lot better going this time around, now that she could enjoy the view without feeling like she had to look behind her every five seconds. The rain did let up for a little bit and it was nice to see the outside world when there wasn't a dark cloud hovering over it. It was amazing to her just how much of the world she was missing by being cooped up in that apartment of hers in the city. All it took was having her life at risk and running from hitmen. Normal stuff. She had the window down to let in all the breeze she could and it blew through her hair giving her the sense of flying. She even went as far as to move her hand up and down on the wind current outside the window like everyone else seemed to do in movies. Even though they had to stick to a lot of the back roads to avoid any kind of unwanted attention, she was still able to take in parts of the area that she never would have otherwise. Edward was a good driver and his focus was never taken off of the road if it meant risking their safety. Watching his face, she saw a lot of the tough exterior had peeled off the longer he spent time with her. It was flattering that he chose her to let down his guard finally after all those years. He cared for her, cared like noone else she had ever come in contact with. Even if they weren't running for their lives and getting into brawls, she still felt a safety with him. A rare commodity these days. The radio played whatever was the newest hit of the year but it was just background noise to her, her focus was on the sights and Edward. A part of her wanted to sing aloud to the songs she knew like she did in the shower but was a little embarrassed not knowing how he would react to that. Almost as if he heard her thoughts, he grew a smile on his face and rubbed her knee. "What's up over there?"
"Oh nothing, just enjoying the sights and sounds."
"Finally have a decent day to do that with."
"What's the most beautiful place you've ever been to?"
"Haven't been to too many places, mostly around the city. But there were a few times that I ventured South to take in a little bit of culture as they say. That's how I know some people on the coast actually."
"Makes me feel so untraveled."
"Not your fault life handed you some lemons that you had to deal with. You still turned out just fine and look at you now, on your way across the country taking in all the nature you can fit in that beautiful head of yours."
"After this do you think you'll be able to start anew, without anyone secretly hunting you down?"
"Taking down the head honcho is a big deal. A lot of respect will be thrown my way and if I don't demand anything and leave it where it lays then that should be it for my worries."
"You're not going to miss the job?"
"Risking my life every week? Nah."
She could see a small city in the distance over some hills starting to rise up into view far far down the road. It looked a lot better than the town they were just at and looked like the options of things to do was about to grow exponentially. Her arm was feeling a lot better but there was still some soreness, you don't just walk off a gunshot wound.
"Have you ever been shot?"
"I've been shot at a million times but they rarely connect. If they do it is usually like yours and hits in a place that's not going to do detrimental harm. Still hurts like a son of a bitch though."
"I think one is enough for me."
A small black book was handed to the crime lord and he flipped through the pages weighing each option with equal merits. This one had to be special though. He had already gone through some of his best and couldn't waste any more time just throwing men at the problem. There were gangs that rose up through the ranks, assassins, various underground collectives, and some real nasty pieces of work. But he was looking for something specific. Near the end of the book he found what he was looking for. He waved his secretary over. "I want you to put the word out from me personally that I want to hold a meeting with the Royal Darkness. I have an issue that I'd like to see put to a stop faster than I've ever requested before. The highest priority."
"Yes, sir."
She left the room and the boss looked over at a picture of his family. His mother always was a model of kindness, even when she found out what he did for a living. If the Darkness couldn't handle this situation then he would either go out there himself or finally face facts that he may not be getting that heir loom back. He wouldn't let himself worry, even if at the moment he could feel it.
The city drew ever closer and expanded in size as they approached. Buildings surrounded on all sides and there were far more people here than where they were before. She had heard of places like New York and California but all she had to go on was imagined pictures of what it looked like in her head. They pulled through a few streets looking for a place to stay and get some rest. Everything seemed booked solid and it took them around half the city before they were able to find something decent and available. They stopped at a large hotel chain and were greeted at the door with the kindest service.
"May we take our bags?"
"Isn't much but sure."
"Your room is 815. Balcony side, if there is anything else we can do for you just let us know."
"Thank you so much."
They took the elevator up to the eighth floor, marveling at the decor as they saw each passing level.
"A balcony, ooolala. Wonder what sights I'll be seeing out there."
"Still have to be careful, never know where the boss' connections reach. Just try and relax and don't spend too much time being a tourist."
"You're such a party pooper."
"I just want to make sure you're safe and nothing happens to you."
"That's very thoughtful but I'm going on that balcony."
They reached the eighth floor and into their room. It was nice and spaceous with one of the most beautiful bathrooms she had ever seen. The temperature was absolutely perfect and because of the floor they were on, the view on the balcony allowed them to see the majority of the city.
"I may never leave here."
Edward walked over and laid on the bed. "Exhausted, I'm going to get some shut eye, feel free to marry the balcony and relax yourself. Wake me up if anything important happens."
"You are such a pooper. Yeah yeah, I'll be on the balcony but I'll probably join you very soon."
"Always the best thing to hear of my day. Love you dew drop."
"Love you too." She then quickly ran out onto the balcony.
The phone gave a few rings before being answered. "yes."
"Royal Darkness. It's Luthor. Remember that time I bailed your asses out of that situation back east? With the....holes."
"You will never let us forget."
"Well, let's just say today i'm cashing in that favor you owe me. You might want to sit down for this one."

Human to Feel
The pain was incredible, the world was out of focus and a slight breeze rolled by. A policeman lay on the ground with a gaping wound that was bleeding out. He had been attacked by a person from the dark. Being blindsided was something they didn't teach you but warned could happen. Bulletproof vests were great and all but were useless when bashed in the head. He could feel the world around him slipping away. What happened and where was his partner?
Backup.
He had to call the station.
But how?
The walkie that was on his belt, he could send a message. His strength had all but left him, his blood was still running out of his wound. With what strength he had left, he moved his hand an inch to his belt and felt around. The walkie wasn't there. His neck could barely turn, the pain was excruciating and with every second his world got darker, he knew he was slipping. The walkie was next to him on the ground, he slipped out of consciousness for a moment and with his last build up of strength he was able to grab the walkie. The side had a button that sent back a signal to the station, the button was tough to press but he managed to click it enough times to create a Morse code message to let his superiors know his location. With his last breath he hoped it went through intelligibly and then the darkness overtook him.
Raindrops began to slowly hit the roof of the car, each one sounding like a light tap on the metal. The leaves around the area collected the rest creating an ambiance that was contrarily beautiful to the dark bloody massacre that littered the ground. The night was quick and the only indicator that it was morning was some birds chirping and it wasn't pitch dark out. Meg was covered with his trench coat to keep warm and Edward wasn't in the car. A quick glance up to the car window showed a man's shadow moving with sounds of footsteps and noises. He was gathering the bodies up and putting them into a pile in the field outside of the forest. She joined him after watching for a moment. "Thanks for letting me sleep. Nightmares haven't been fun."
"You tossed and turned a lot I wanted to get rid of all of this before you woke up."
She looked at the bodies knowing she was responsible for two of them.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Can't believe I did that."
"You never feel it until later. You did what you had to. Nothing wrong."
"I know, just surprised with myself."
"Not going to make the situation any better but one of the cops had his walkie in his hand. It's possible they are going to show up here at any minute."
"I'm getting used to it."
"I'm sorry. This isn't something someone should get used to. It's good and human to feel."
"I just want it to stop. How far are we?"
"Should just have two towns before a straight shot to the coast. Not super far. Not being on the train slowed us down a lot."
"And these asshats."
The bodies were piled up and he dumped a liquid over them and lit a match.
"You're going to burn them?"
"They don't deserve to rot in the forest with the vermin."
"Even the two gang members?"
"They're still people."
The match immediately ignited the men and Meg felt the warmth on her body. "Do you still feel when you do it?"
Edward didn't say anything at first and just watched the fire. Thoughts raced through his head filled with experiences and past instances. "No....not unless I care about the person I'm helping."
"Feeling anything right now?"
He looked at her, his deep blue eyes meeting hers. "More than I ever have."
She held on to him and he kissed her.
"Come on, let's get back on the road before the smoke leads them right to us."
He took her by the hand and led her back to the car. The car pulled out and crossed the field back to the road. Meg watched the fire as they passed, there was a feeling in her stomach that pushed her adrenaline higher. It wasn't about a case of money anymore.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!!" The crime lord threw his phone across the room smashing a vase. "Who the hell are these people?? I refuse to believe some short brunette and her dumb ass detective lover are taking down all my best men over and over and over again!!"
Four men and a secretary woman stood around the room nervous. He walked up to one of the men and got right in his face. "Any ideas in that skull of yours?"
"We're doing our best sir, never encountered anything like this before."
"I refuse to believe that."
He walked back to his desk seething. The woman came over to calm him down.
"They're going to get them, just calm down. Even if they don't, it's just a million, we got plenty more than that."
"Don't. Don't you dare tell me what to do."
"I'm just saying, maybe let it go. It's just a case of money. Tommy has way better leads."
He looked at her with more rage than he had ever felt.
"You have no idea what you're talking about. Don't you fucking dare talk about that case."
"I'm sorry...I...."
"Bend over the desk."
"W...what?"
"Bend over the damn desk!!"
She bent over the desk and laid flat.
"Jimmy, come here."
Her nerves rose as Jimmy approached. The boss lifted her skirt and ripped her panties off exposing her bare ass. She yelped in surprise and started shaking in fear. He handed Jimmy a gun.
"Put it in her."
"Excuse me boss?"
"Stick it in her, now!!"
Jimmy slowly put the muzzle of the gun on her vagina. The boss leaned onto the desk to look her directly in the face. "You question anything I do, you get fucked by a bullet. You understand?"
She was crying and shaking. "Yes, yes of course, I'm so sorry!"
He stared at her for a minute to let it all sink in and then stood up. "All of you out of my office, now!"
The men left with Jimmy tagging along shaken up. The woman stood and fixed her dress.
"Watch that mouth of yours. Now clean up your piss off the floor and get out."
He took up his place looking out of his windows at the city ahead of him.
They were out there.
Gloves were off now. They better enjoy their final days alive.
"Actually, when you're done cleaning that up, get me my black book."

Jimmy slowly put the muzzle of the gun on her vagina. The boss leaned onto the desk to look her directly in the face. "You question anything I do, you get fucked by a bullet. You understand?"
She was crying and shaking. "Yes, yes of course, I'm so sorry!"
He stared at her for a minute to let it all sink in and then stood up. "All of you out of my office, now!"
The men left with Jimmy tagging along shaken up. The woman stood and fixed her dress.
"Watch that mouth of yours. Now clean up your piss off the floor and get out."
He took up his place looking out of his windows at the city ahead of him.
They were out there.
Gloves were off now. They better enjoy their final days alive.
"Actually, when you're done cleaning that up, get me my black book."

The Couple Whose Love Beat an Entire Operation
The main top boss. He stood looking out of his large windows out onto the city that he pretty much owned. It was quiet and he stood alone in his office. The lights had been turned down so that the only light was coming from the city ahead and a sizable fish tank in the corner. The reflection of his face in the glass was that of anger and loneliness. He had been at this job for a long time, made a lot of people and made a lot of people disappear too. There were a lot of times where he couldn't believe he had made it to where he was but he had promised himself that he wouldn't stop until he reached the top. Every time he felt close there was something that happened or someone that stood up to him that made him feel like he still had a long way to go. The one thing that was always a reminder that there was a point to it all was the case that was given to him by his mother when he was younger. He had used it as luggage on every trip and as a incentive with every money exchange. Now it was lost and it took everything in him to keep calm about it. It was crazy how it had lasted so long and now the extreme and unnecessary chase had been going on for so long. Everything he was trying just wasn't working and that case was all he had left of his family. Sure it wasn't the best idea to keep using it in so many situations that would cause it to be lost but he considered it lucky. He knew he would get it back but this was getting worrisome. He poured himself a drink and watched the stars and thought back to that fateful night when it all went wrong.
"Come on Meg, we're going to be late!"
"Okay okay, just adjusting, what's your hurry anyway?"
"Nothing I just, I just want to get there and see what's going on."
"Do you know any of these people?"
"I don't know, I mean, I was invited so I must know somebody."
Meg stepped out from the closet wearing a long blue dress. "This look okay?"
"Very fancy, you should dress like that more often."
"I dunno, I feel too exposed."
"Exposed is good, plus when you've got girls like those you shouldn't be hiding them."
"Or I'm not a slut."
"That too. Come on, car is downstairs." She picked up a briefcase and headed toward the door.
"What is that all about anyways?"
"Just something I need to return to someone."
"What is it?"
"Nothing important, let's go."
The two women went downstairs and were driven out of the city to what looked like the biggest mansion ever built. Giant hedges were cut to look like angels and fountains poured water over stone statues. Lights led up to a front door kept watch by two massive men.
"Who do you know that lives here again?"
The car pulled up to the front and they both got out, walking up to the doors. The men looked them each up and down with one winking at Meg. She felt disgusting already. Spotting the briefcase in the other girl's hand, they opened the doors for them. "Have a good evening, ladies."
The interior was beyond words, it almost seemed a hundred times larger inside. Soft piano music played and hundreds of fancily dressed people milled about chatting. A grand staircase led up to another floor and a chandelier hung above the main area. Glasses clinked and every so often eyes would silently judge. Meg clearly was out of her normal environment.
What am I doing here, I don't belong. How does El know about this place and where did she get that case? It was like the person she had known for years was suddenly someone else, someone she didn't know.
A waiter passed and offered her a drink while her friend kept looking around for someone in particular.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Huh?"
"You seem worried and keep looking around."
"No, I'm just....taking it in."
El was usually the life of the party, so why did she look so scared and guilty?
The two toured around the rooms gazing at the large paintings, numerous fireplaces, and expensive looking everything. To be honest, Meg was bored out of her mind. To make matters worse, El seemed to have caught sight of who she was looking for.
"Hey, I gotta go talk to someone, I'll be right back." She ran off so fast Meg wasn't able to utter a response of any kind. Now she was by herself. Great. May as well take advantage of the situation and look around and sample some of the food.
El walked over to a small group of men dressed sharply and all wearing sunglasses, her heart rate started to raise. Once she got close enough they parted revealing the main gang leader and owner of the mansion.
"Ah, Ellen, I'm so glad you could come. It's been quite the past two years hasn't it?"
"I just want this over with, I can't do it anymore, all I do is look over my shoulder constantly."
"Well with what you've had to do for me I"m not surprised but we had everything handled."
"Getting this wasn't easy, there's a lot of family that won't be speaking to me anymore."
"It will all be over tonight I promise."
"What is all of this for anyways?"
"That isn't for you to worry about, just hand it over and your time will be done."
"I'll be left alone?"
"Oh you'll be left alone."
The men stood a little closer to her and she noticed that her way out was being blocked.
Meg sauntered around for a while before realizing this just wasn't worth it. Time to find El and get out of here, she had one too many pinches to the ass to feel like being alive anymore. She made her way around to where she last saw her friend and eventually found her in the middle of a group of dangerous looking men. What the hell was going on? She carefully walked closer and hid behind the wall looking over at the situation. The men took out some guns as El clutched the case close to her body. Were they going to kill her? What was this place, who were they?
"I did what you wanted why can't I just go?"
"You know too much, I just can' risk it."
She had begun crying. "Please please, I promise I won't say a thing!"
Meg had walked closer now and in a strange bit of courage stood up. "What's going on El, you okay?"
"Well well we have another witness, welcome to my home miss.....?"
"What are you doing with my friend?"
"She has something very important to me that I let her borrow in exchange for some favors. It's collection time."
El looked panicked. "Meg run, please just go!"
"Why, what is this?"
The men aimed guns at her friend.
"Her time is out, maybe take her advice my dear and forget what you saw."
Suddenly El took off running, pulling Meg with her and the men ran after with guns drawn.
"El what the hell are you involved in?"
"I'm so sorry Meg, I never wanted you involved. You have to promise me you'll guard this with your life and go far away. Please please please."
"What is it? Explain this!!"
She gave Meg the case and pushed her into a side room before the men saw and continued running with the men in pursuit. They passed the room as Meg held the case and looked out to see them corner her friend.
"Please, I did everything you wanted!"
"Sorry girl, boss' orders."
The sight Meg saw next would haunt her every day. The men opened fire on her friend as she screamed, her blood spraying the walls around her. Meg slid inside the room and held the case and began to cry. What in god's name was going on. Her whole world was upside down in a matter of moments. She could not stop shaking and after a few moments realized they'd be looking for the case and she ran as fast as she could until there was fire in her legs and lungs and she realized she was outside among trees in the middle of nowhere. Her friend was dead and she held the cause. Gunshots rang in her ears and her friend's screaming echoed louder and louder and louder.
She opened her eyes in the backseat of the car in the forest on top of Edward. She hugged him close and silently cried her eyes out, haunted once more by the memory of seeing her friend gunned down. The terrified look on her face and screaming out for her life. The journey to the case even more important to her. How would her journey end?
The crime lord finished his drink and shut out the lights. For a brief moment he felt bad for the things he'd done. One moment. The case was his family, he was stupid to use it for exchanges. This would be his last job. He was getting that case back no matter what the cost. This was going to require his best, even if he had to do it himself. He left his office more tired than usual, thinking of only one thing. The couple whose love was beating his entire operation.

She was Worth More than any Situation or Physical Attribute
"Look you stupid cops, we're looking for the same person! They just flew by us here and they're getting away while we argue with you!"
The two cops have a sudden realization on their faces and look to one another. "I think he's right."
"Of course I'm right, bring your damn car around and let's get them!"
Caught up in the heat of the moment, the police return with their cop car and scoop up the two men and take off down the road after the couple.
In a high tower in the middle of a city, the main crime boss sits staring out into the skyline. A clock ticks in the background echoing around the large room. This whole situation was continuing on far longer than he liked. This was supposed to be done over a week ago and now he sits here with nothing and a bunch of dead men. No matter who he sent after this punk detective and that girl just ended up dead. How the hell was that even possible? That case was important to him, the only semblense of his family that he had left. That night at the party it could've all been over but he had to put his trust in that stupid moron of a girl who lost the damn case. At least she paid for it with her life, not that it felt any better. A knock came at his door. "Come." A women walked over to his desk looking nervous. "Tell me you have some kind of good news."
"I'm afraid not. Word had come back that they had them in a small town about two miles from the farm but they got away, they are in pursuit trying to find them now."
"God damn incompetent asses. Could've had just as much work out of anyone off the street. No idea why I pay these idiots. Why can't we catch these assholes!"
He slammed his fist onto his desk knocking over a few objects and making the woman jump.
"Natalia, I'm feeling a bit pissed off right now, so before I do something that I will most definately regret, I'm going to need a little release to let off some steam."
"Yes sir. Whatever you please."
He unzipped his pants and she got to her knees in front of him.
"If these two aren't caught soon, there is going to be some major hell to pay. Personally."
The couple was making good time down the road but keeping an eye out because there hadn't been a day where they could rest easy. Edward was trying to find a way back onto the main road to be back on track while Meg was fixing her hair in the side mirror and watching the different views go by. "What if mr. crime boss starts sending tougher people? Poison us in the night or something?"
"He needs us alive for the case."
"What if he decides to not need the case anymore?"
"He won't give up like that, plus we know things and he'll off us anyway."
"You know this guy?"
"Only by reputation. Your typical crime boss, lots of men working for him and is in the pocket of the police and judges. He will and frequently does get away with murder. We're just another thorn in his side."
"Maybe we'll be the first ones he'll let go, I mean, he's going to end up losing all of his men at this rate."
"Doubtful, as long as people will do things for money, he'll always have someone working for him."
She put her hair up above her and made a face in the mirror. "Would you still love me if I had no arms?"
"What?"
"No arms, just me as I am now but no arms."
"Sure I would."
"You'd have to do my makeup and feed me."
"I could do that."
"When do you know how to do makeup."
"You don't need it, plus I couldn't be that bad."
"Okay, how about no ears."
"Nothing at all?"
"Maybe little holes on the sides of my head."
"Would your holes hear the same as if you had ears?"
"Not as good but decent."
"I guess I would talk a little louder to you."
The chatter made her feel a little better and she continued to style her hair in the mirror. A car was pulling up closer behind them and she gave a side glance in the mirror to acknowledge it but made nothing of it at first.
"How about no butt."
"No butt?"
"Yeah, just smooth flat skin to my ankles."
"That would look odd and how would you go to the bathroom?"
"Um, I think I would evolve to just not need to. Just drink liquids."
"You have a very nice butt though. I dunno."
"So you wouldn't love me if I didn't have an ass?"
"I would still love you, it just may be difficult re-purposing all the places you'd be sitting with special cushions."
"And you'd have nothing to stare at when I walked around."
"Very true."
She resumed her gaze back at the mirror and noticed it was a police car behind them. "Hey, the cops are behind us."
He looked into the rearview mirror and saw them driving closer. There were four people inside as well, too many for a normal ride. "You'll never guess who is in the car."
"You gotta be kidding me."
"Seatbelt on babe, this could get bumpy."
"Oh good, and here I thought I was going to be able to relax, phew!"
He pressed the gas and they sped ahead faster. The police car picked up the pace and turned on its siren. They were now in a pursuit chase. He took corners a bit tighter and tried to take a few off road pathways to try and lose them but they were better than the average police and were able to keep up the pace quite well. As they got closer, the two men in the back of the car leaned out the windows and aimed their guns at the car. On the first straightaway they got a shot or two off.
"Their shooting?"
"What else would you do if you wanted someone dead?"
He tried every maneuver he had but could not outrun or outsmart them. He would have to think of an alternative method to stop this. An unconventional one. "Dew drop, we're going to have to take them out, the car isn't going to do it, we're going to have to pull over and improvise."
"Whatever we gotta do."
He took the first road he saw into the woods and pulled off the road into a dark alcove and shut the car off. He led her away from the car and up a small hill overlooking the area. The police car entered and came to a stop. The red and blue lights lit up the surrounding area and the four men got out with weapons drawn. "Alright, come on out, you aren't going to make it anywhere. Give yourself up now and we'll go easy on you." They walked around the area.
Edward was sneeking around above and handed Meg a think sharp tree branch that looked more dangerous than anything she ever handled. "When you have a shot, jump down and jam it as hard as you can into one of them. We are leaving this forest alone, me and you."
Kill someone, the thought made her nervous, she had seen Edward do it and knew at some point she would have to. Her heart thumped in her chest and she mentally prepared herself for what she was going to have to do.
The men below walked around cautiously with weapons scanning the area and trying to see what they could through flashing red and blue. The cops took one side and split up slightly. One investigated a darker portion and his life suddenly stopped when Edward came out of the darkness and plunged his sharp dagger into the neck of the officer and dragged his lifeless body into the bushes. The other cop heard a slight noise and turned to check on his partner but could not find him. He scratched his head in curiosity when severe pain then blackness overtook him as Meg came down from above with her javelin. She had done it. It didn't really feel like much, whether that was a good thing or not. Two down two to go. They regrouped back above.
"Hey Alan, they could be anywhere man, they ditched the car and probably took off deep into the woods. I'm not searching this damn area all night."
"Shut up or they'll hear you, just keep looking around and keep your eyes open."
They were too busy talking to notice two shadows position themselves above them with sharp objects at the ready.
"I think I found the car man, looks empty. Just like I said, now who's the URK!" His neck was pierced and Edward pulled his body behind the car and into the grass.
"What's that Sam? Sam? Did you find them?"
Meg appeared in front of him, starling him. "He sure did, ass face." She jabbed her implement into his throat and he gargled and grasped at the weapon before falling to the ground dead. "I feel like a warrior."
"You did a good job Megels, you okay?"
"I'm alright, can we please just rest here in the car? I just can't after today. Such a hot mess."
"Sure, I think we'll be more than safe in here off the road in the middle of nowhere. They won't be bothering us and we aren't anywhere near a place to be spotted or found."
They climbed into the backseat of the car and snuggled up in each other's arms. The moon lit up the trees around them and the ambience of crickets and frogs filled the air.
"I love you dew drop, every day that goes by there is some event that reminds me that I am so very lucky I met you."
"Right back at you beautiful."
They kissed and laid in silence.
"First thing in the morning we get back on the road. We're going to make it, you have my word."
She smiled on laid on is chest listening to his heartbeat.
"What if I only had one boob?"
"Go to sleep darlin."

The men below walked around cautiously with weapons scanning the area and trying to see what they could through flashing red and blue. The cops took one side and split up slightly. One investigated a darker portion and his life suddenly stopped when Edward came out of the darkness and plunged his sharp dagger into the neck of the officer and dragged his lifeless body into the bushes. The other cop heard a slight noise and turned to check on his partner but could not find him. He scratched his head in curiosity when severe pain then blackness overtook him as Meg came down from above with her javelin. She had done it. It didn't really feel like much, whether that was a good thing or not. Two down two to go. They regrouped back above.
"Hey Alan, they could be anywhere man, they ditched the car and probably took off deep into the woods. I'm not searching this damn area all night."
"Shut up or they'll hear you, just keep looking around and keep your eyes open."
They were too busy talking to notice two shadows position themselves above them with sharp objects at the ready.
"I think I found the car man, looks empty. Just like I said, now who's the URK!" His neck was pierced and Edward pulled his body behind the car and into the grass.
"What's that Sam? Sam? Did you find them?"
Meg appeared in front of him, starling him. "He sure did, ass face." She jabbed her implement into his throat and he gargled and grasped at the weapon before falling to the ground dead. "I feel like a warrior."
"You did a good job Megels, you okay?"
"I'm alright, can we please just rest here in the car? I just can't after today. Such a hot mess."
"Sure, I think we'll be more than safe in here off the road in the middle of nowhere. They won't be bothering us and we aren't anywhere near a place to be spotted or found."
They climbed into the backseat of the car and snuggled up in each other's arms. The moon lit up the trees around them and the ambience of crickets and frogs filled the air.
"I love you dew drop, every day that goes by there is some event that reminds me that I am so very lucky I met you."
"Right back at you beautiful."
They kissed and laid in silence.
"First thing in the morning we get back on the road. We're going to make it, you have my word."
She smiled on laid on is chest listening to his heartbeat.
"What if I only had one boob?"
"Go to sleep darlin."

Love Conquers the Police, the Gang, and a Shower
Staring down the barrel of a gun was something Edward was unfortunately beginning to get used to. Still, it was surprising every time. Thankfully he had had Meg wait behind the building for him or they both would be in some trouble. He had gotten himself out of worse scenarios, maybe he could talk himself out of this one too.
"Just stop yourself right there and don't even think about trying to talk yourself out of this one."
Okay so maybe scratch that.
"The boss is getting real tired of chasing you around the damn country, where's the girl?"
"What girl?"
"Oh please, don't make me shoot you."
"Wasn't that the plan anyways?"
"Get around the corner and don't you try anything, I promise you won't get far."
Alan stepped up beside him with another gun aimed at his forehead.
"Well no, don't you two make a good couple."
"Get the hell around the corner."
They pushed him aggressively around the side of the building.
Meg was listening from the back of the building, upon hearing the commotion, she ran to the next building and hid. These people were everywhere! There was no way in hell they could've known they were here. I'm willing to bet it was the two men I saw in the night. Damn it for not acting right away. Now what to do we do? They were primarily after her so as long as Edward can stall, maybe she could manuever a way around to help. The alley let out to the main street, there had to be a way to distract them from behind.
"So where is she? Hiding her is only making it worse."
"Not with me. I'm here by myself."
"You didn't come to town with anyone else."
"Just myself."
"So that was just a random girl modeling clothes for you in the store then."
"Crazy how women fall for customers, walked in looking for a new shirt and she came out of the changing room."
"That is crazy. She even looked just like that girl we're looking for. An exact match even."
"Lots of people out there, bound to run into someone who looks like somebody else."
"Cut the shit, where is she?"
She reached the end of the alley and peeked out onto the main street. Nobody seemed to have seen Edward get taken around the corner at gunpoint. Scanning the street, everyone was going about their day but none looked tough enough to help. A part of her was annoyed because she just finally got new clothes and her arm still felt sore but no, couldn't just get one day where nothing happened. Walking out into the street knowing she didn't have time, she tried to find some kind of distraction as soon as possible.
"Come on, come on."
Her eyes finally landed on a pair of policmen coming out of a nearby barber shop.
"That'll do."
She ran over to them trying not to look super panicked.
"Everything okay ma'am?"
"Um, a friend of mine is in trouble, I think they have guns and have taken him!"
"Who has guns? Where are they?"
Before the words came out of her mouth, she noticed a paper in the hand of one of them. It was the Wanted poster with her face posted on the front. Well, shit.
"Ah, actually, I think he might be okay, I think I just heard him call me."
"What?"
"Yep, seems fine, sorry to bother you, well bye!"
She turned and walked as fast as possible in the other direction. The police were baffled "Crazies are everywhere now man." He looked down at the poster and immediately connected the dots. "Shit, it's her! Hey! Freeze!"
She didn't even look back and quickened her pace to a run. "Ugh, fantastic job Megels."
The police took off after her in hot pursuit and now knowing the consequences of armed men, she made sure she took the first opportunity to get off the street and out of their view. There was another alley next to her and she took it full speed until she reached the back. Okay genius, now I'm at the back but on the opposite side of where I want to be. Above her was a fire escape connected to another hotel. Time to see how healed her arm really was. She climbed atop a dumpster and with a small hop she reached up and grabbed onto the bottom ladder and hoisted herself up one by one. The pain in her warm wasn't as bad as she thought it would be but it was still no picnic. She could hear the running footsteps of the police coming down the alley. They reached the back quick enough to see her climbing up the escape and one of the cops was brave enough to actually open fire. A bullet ricocheted off the wall beside her.
"Holy crap!"
Anxiety hit her as the feeling of being shot echoed in her head and she dove into the first window she came across. She hit a carpeted floor to the sound of running water. A bathroom. Once her senses came back she heard the police running up the escape closing in on her. Desperate measures, had to hide. Without even thinking she jumped into the shower next to her, a teenage boy let out a frightened gasp as a woman suddenly flew into the shower next to him.
"Shh, shh, don't make a noise, they can't find me here!"
She looked down and noticed the boy was in the middle of pleasuring himself and was, put modestly, at full attention. Meg covered her eyes. "Ah, sorry, sorry. Nothing I haven't seen before. Just please whatever you do, don't make a sound, pleeeease."
The boy froze and she could hear the police conversing with one another and moving up and down the escape wondering where she went. After a few moments she heard them go back down the ladder and the noises disappeared. She might have gotten lucky. She began to get out of the shower to make her way back outside. "Sorry and thank you so much for the cover. And don't worry, it's perfectly normal, go ahead and finish." Once back outside she carefully inspected the area before going back down the ladder herself. Her senses were on high alert and she poked her head around out of the alley, nobody seemed to be around. She couldn't waste any more time. With a sprint she didn't know she had in her, she ran across the street towards where Edward was being held up. Halfway across, the police caught wind of her. "Freeze! Enough!" They raised their weapons.
"I'm just going to ask you this one more time Mr. Detective. Where is the damn girl."
"If she is so damn important, then why are you holding me up and not going after her?"
"Because she won't go anywhere without you, I'm willing to bet she will run right into our hands for you."
"Well you might get your wish."
"Oh yeah?"
Gunshots hit the wall near them and distracted their attention. Upon looking, they saw Meg running at them. Edward took the opportunity to knock the gun out of Alan's hand and kick the other in the gut so hard he went down immediately. He clocked Alan in the jaw and Meg came running up and kicked him straight in the groin.
"Was wondering where you went."
"Had to take a shower."
"You what?"
"I'll tell you later, come on, the cops are right behind me, we have to go!"
He saw two policemen in pursuit coming down the street. There was no time to hang around, he collected up the two men's guns and saw a set of keys hanging out of the pants of the one. Snatching them up he took her hand and they took off running. "God I missed you darling."
"Not as much as I missed you. I thought we promised not to be away from each other that long again."
"Small road bump, but, gave me time to miss you."
They kissed and continued running around the back alley of the nearest business. They heard the cops yelling with the two gang members and didn't stop for a second. Once they got a few buildings down, they changed direction and ran back up to the main street. He examined the keys and found on that belonged to an automobile of a certain class. "Baby, I think I found us our wheels."
The main street wasn't too busy and with speed their legs could barely muster, they ran past every car until the end of the road and a hotel at the very back. The car was easy to spot and looked like one that would take them very far very quickly. "Ready to go my love?"
"Always my Edward."
He tried the key and the locks popped open. They both got in and he revved the engine before taking off down the main street. Passing the last building they saw the cops arguing with the gang and Alan saw them go by. Meg heard as they went by. "Hey, that's our car you sons of...!!!"
She laughed and waved them goodbye as the dust from the road whisked around them. They were back on the road towards the coast and as far as they knew, all by themselves once again. He held her hand and they both smiled. Love conquered all, even two cops and two gang members.
"So, what was this about a shower?"

After a few moments she heard them go back down the ladder and the noises disappeared. She might have gotten lucky. She began to get out of the shower to make her way back outside. "Sorry and thank you so much for the cover. And don't worry, it's perfectly normal, go ahead and finish." Once back outside she carefully inspected the area before going back down the ladder herself.

His Eyes Are Always on Her xoxo
The day started off normal enough, it wasn't quite as overcast as it had been at least. The town wasn't a big town by any means but it did stretch far enough for a few of the essentials. There was a main street that went on for a mile that included various shops and cafes on each side of the street. There were a few people traveling up and down the sidewalks saying hello to one another and shopping to buy little knick knacks for family members. The newly rested couple on the run walked hand in hand down the right side of the road looking into a few storefront windows at what the shops offered.
"I never knew there were so many little trinkets out in the world."
"It's these kinds of places that there aren't enough of anymore. Big cities draw the most people in and little towns like this are left to who hasn't moved to the city."
"I have to plead guilty on that one. Never leaving the city I had no idea these even existed. I mean, I knew there were towns out here but nothing like this cute little simple life."
"Maybe we move out her when this all blows over."
"Get ourselves a nice little house with a white picket fence huh? Edward are you getting soft in your hardened detective days?"
"Maybe I've just finally found someone I want to change my path in life with. That's all."
They continued to walk down the street until they found a particular cafe that had some seating outside. It was a small restaurant that offered various coffee drinks and sandwiches.
"Oh, let's stop here and eat. It's such an adorable little place."
"As you wish m'lady"
"I do so wish m'dude"
Once seated, a waiter took their order and they had all but forgotten about the task at hand.
"So, you never told me why you became a detective."
"What do you think?"
"Hmmm." She squinted her eyes studying him and thinking deeply of a good enough excuse as to why someone would devote their time to risking their life taking others. Other than Batman. "My guess is, you grew up wanting some justice in life and had seen that the police only knew so much and only did so much so there had to be a profession that was able to go above what they were able to do. Then you trained and did a ton of research and created the profession yourself after trying it out on some low levels. Close?"
"Maybe a little."
"Come on, if you love me you'll tell me." She smiled and crinkled her nose at him.
"You are no fair at all."
"Pwease."
"It's not a wonderful story. My parents were the normal hard working folk. Dad was a carpenter and my mom was an aid at a small company. I had a brother and growing up wasn't anything that would have caused anyone to choose a certain path in life. It wasn't until I was nearing the end of my school years that my brother ended up being murdered. They had traced it back to a member of the top mafia gang in the area and after a year of court dates and policework, the guy walked. It angered me to a boiling point that I haven't ever reached again. To know the person that did it but the way the system worked they weren't able to punish him for it. I lost my brother because the rules in place wouldn't let them cross lines. So after that I was determined to do what I could so that nobody would have to go through what I did."
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry about your brother. That's very noble of you to do that in his honor though. Do you think you have reached a good place to feel like you've avenged him now?"
"I didn't think so until that day on the roof when I saw you."
Alan and Samuel left their hotel and walked the streets up and down scoping out what the area was like. They hadn't wasted any time that day and knew that scouring a town that the couple may have even left would take a little bit of time. They weren't particularly happy about that.
"Hey Alan, how long you been doin this?"
"About 6 years now. Why?"
"You ever run into a situation where someone does get away?"
"Here and there."
"And the boss hasn't killed you over any of them?"
"Those were different and no big deal if they disappeared. I knew they would always live in fear of being found anyways which is just as good."
"I just hope we can cover all the ground around here before being sure they left."
"We just go place to place and try and catch anyone who may be hiding something."
"I saw we stick to shadows and behind buildings so they don't see us coming from afar and try and run then."
"Good plan, we can check all the businesses from the back doors."
Meg finished her meal and dabbed her face with a napkin, it was very fulfilling and gave her the energy she needed to tackle the new day with her newly healing arm. "When do you want to go?"
"We have to find some sort of car though, the station is still pretty far away even by train so walking would take ages."
"We don't really have much in the way of money."
"I'll think of something."
A police car drove by making them both slightly uncomfortable but they were just two people eating lunch in a small town, nothing to see here.
"I need to find new clothes, my current wardrobe is getting a bit too dirty, I always look like I fell down a hill."
"I agree, mine too. I think I saw a shop on the way across the road that sold clothing. I say we go now."
The cop car pulled into a parking space at the end of the street and the two men exited the vehicle. One was holding a stack of Wanted posters. "Just make it quick Mike, we have another town to get to before dark." The other cop began hammering up the posters on every wall and establishment he could and asked each store owner if they had seen the couple on the poster. They weren't getting anywhere but they were at least able to cross things off their list of where this couple wasn't.
Edward sat in a small seat while he waited for Meg to find an outfit she was really into, his shopping was over quickly as he didn't require much other than a button down shirt and pants. Before long Meg walked out wearing an outfit that would be comfortable and able to move quickly in all the while looking absolutely "Beautiful."
"You're just saying that because you love me."
"I may be biased that way yes but you look beautiful."
"Thanks dew drop."
Out near the back of the shops, the two suited men continued looking through windows and into any door they could sneak into to check the back rooms of each establishment. So far they hadn't found anything. "These shops are clean, we'll check the others and then do the hotels and motels. We'll double back again to check them all and see where we can take it from there." As they neared the end of the block, Alan looked through the one back window to see Meg twirling in a new outfit in front of Edward. "Shit, Sam, Sam, there they are!"
"Get the hell out of here."
"Right there, like they are on vacation."
"We have to get them to come with us when they leave. Quick, to the front, we can run into them as they leave and just take it from there. We really lucked out with that."
The two men walked around the side of the building and towards the entrance. Once they hit the sidewalk in front of the building they were stopped by the two policemen walking around.
"Excuse me, have you two seen either of these people?"
They were shown the Wanted poster with artist renderings of Meg and Edward. They had to try their best not to have their eyes open too wide.
"Um, no, no we haven't officer, why what have they done?"
"Just some fugitives on the run. If you see or hear anything would you please let us know?"
"We sure will officer."
The couple paid for their clothing that they changed into immediately and while Meg paid, Edward scanned the room. Almost immediately he looked out the front window to see two suited men talking to police who were holding a large poster. With his and her faces on it.
"Shit."
"What babe, what's wrong?"
"We have to go out the back, right now."
"Why, what's going on?"
"We have bad company and this time it's double."
She followed his gaze and saw the four men outside.
"Assbutt, really??"
He almost lost his concentration by her reaction. "Come on, there is a back exit, we can slip out that way and follow the backs until we can get to the town's edge. We can work out the rest when we are far enough away."
While keeping an eye on the front, they walked towards the back of the store and found the back exit. They quietly left and figured out which way to go once they were back outside. "This is ridiculous, how do they keep finding us??"
"The only people who knew we were going this way was the farm folk. I'm betting they caught up with them and made them tell information."
"Oh they are good. Damn it."
The end of the street is to the left here, let's just follow that and then regroup once we get around to the side of the last building."
They sped walked past the rears of all the buildings from grocery shops to toy makers. Any alley between buildings had to be scoped out first before moving on. They got to the end of the houses and stopped. "Alright Meg, I'm going to go around and make sure it's safe, hang out here for just a second."
"Okay, love"
He peeked around the corner and saw an open street and followed the side of the house to the front, once he looked around the corner he ran straight into the barrel of a gun aimed right at him. Samuel held the rest.
"Funny running into you here Mr. Detective."

"Hey Alan, how long you been doin this?"
"About 6 years now. Why?"
"You ever run into a situation where someone does get away?"
"Here and there."
"And the boss hasn't killed you over any of them?"
"Those were different and no big deal if they disappeared. I knew they would always live in fear of being found anyways which is just as good."
"I just hope we can cover all the ground around here before being sure they left."
"We just go place to place and try and catch anyone who may be hiding something."
"I saw we stick to shadows and behind buildings so they don't see us coming from afar and try and run then."
"Good plan, we can check all the businesses from the back doors."
Meg finished her meal and dabbed her face with a napkin, it was very fulfilling and gave her the energy she needed to tackle the new day with her newly healing arm. "When do you want to go?"
"We have to find some sort of car though, the station is still pretty far away even by train so walking would take ages."
"We don't really have much in the way of money."
"I'll think of something."
A police car drove by making them both slightly uncomfortable but they were just two people eating lunch in a small town, nothing to see here.
"I need to find new clothes, my current wardrobe is getting a bit too dirty, I always look like I fell down a hill."
"I agree, mine too. I think I saw a shop on the way across the road that sold clothing. I say we go now."
The cop car pulled into a parking space at the end of the street and the two men exited the vehicle. One was holding a stack of Wanted posters. "Just make it quick Mike, we have another town to get to before dark." The other cop began hammering up the posters on every wall and establishment he could and asked each store owner if they had seen the couple on the poster. They weren't getting anywhere but they were at least able to cross things off their list of where this couple wasn't.
Edward sat in a small seat while he waited for Meg to find an outfit she was really into, his shopping was over quickly as he didn't require much other than a button down shirt and pants. Before long Meg walked out wearing an outfit that would be comfortable and able to move quickly in all the while looking absolutely "Beautiful."
"You're just saying that because you love me."
"I may be biased that way yes but you look beautiful."
"Thanks dew drop."
Out near the back of the shops, the two suited men continued looking through windows and into any door they could sneak into to check the back rooms of each establishment. So far they hadn't found anything. "These shops are clean, we'll check the others and then do the hotels and motels. We'll double back again to check them all and see where we can take it from there." As they neared the end of the block, Alan looked through the one back window to see Meg twirling in a new outfit in front of Edward. "Shit, Sam, Sam, there they are!"
"Get the hell out of here."
"Right there, like they are on vacation."
"We have to get them to come with us when they leave. Quick, to the front, we can run into them as they leave and just take it from there. We really lucked out with that."
The two men walked around the side of the building and towards the entrance. Once they hit the sidewalk in front of the building they were stopped by the two policemen walking around.
"Excuse me, have you two seen either of these people?"
They were shown the Wanted poster with artist renderings of Meg and Edward. They had to try their best not to have their eyes open too wide.
"Um, no, no we haven't officer, why what have they done?"
"Just some fugitives on the run. If you see or hear anything would you please let us know?"
"We sure will officer."
The couple paid for their clothing that they changed into immediately and while Meg paid, Edward scanned the room. Almost immediately he looked out the front window to see two suited men talking to police who were holding a large poster. With his and her faces on it.
"Shit."
"What babe, what's wrong?"
"We have to go out the back, right now."
"Why, what's going on?"
"We have bad company and this time it's double."
She followed his gaze and saw the four men outside.
"Assbutt, really??"
He almost lost his concentration by her reaction. "Come on, there is a back exit, we can slip out that way and follow the backs until we can get to the town's edge. We can work out the rest when we are far enough away."
While keeping an eye on the front, they walked towards the back of the store and found the back exit. They quietly left and figured out which way to go once they were back outside. "This is ridiculous, how do they keep finding us??"
"The only people who knew we were going this way was the farm folk. I'm betting they caught up with them and made them tell information."
"Oh they are good. Damn it."
The end of the street is to the left here, let's just follow that and then regroup once we get around to the side of the last building."
They sped walked past the rears of all the buildings from grocery shops to toy makers. Any alley between buildings had to be scoped out first before moving on. They got to the end of the houses and stopped. "Alright Meg, I'm going to go around and make sure it's safe, hang out here for just a second."
"Okay, love"
He peeked around the corner and saw an open street and followed the side of the house to the front, once he looked around the corner he ran straight into the barrel of a gun aimed right at him. Samuel held the rest.
"Funny running into you here Mr. Detective."

The Much Rested Murderous Couple
He could hear her voice through his dreams, it was low and had an almost underwater sound to it. Slowly it became louder and he was able to open his eyes to a dark blurry world. A beautiful girl was leaning over him trying to shake him awake. "Edward, wake up, I think I saw more of them."
"Huh?"
"I think I saw two more of the men chasing us."
He was able to sit up albeit weakly, his eyes adjusting with every blink. She looked tired herself but it was always better to make sure any situation was safe and not to assume. "What did you see?"
"Two guys walking down the main street."
"Did you recognize either of them?"
"Well...no, not really."
He pulled her close and held her tightly, her hair smelled like flowers and her breasts pressed against his chest. "It may have just been two guys going home. We're in the middle of nowhere in a small town. There's no way they could have traced us here. We have no car to tail and we took care of the ones who did find us, and that was a coincidental finding. You're tired and everyone is going to seem suspicious now. I'm not saying be careful, I'll keep as best watch as I can, but you need rest. Come on."
He laid with her and she wrapped herself around him in the usual spider monkey position. They would be extra careful tomorrow. That gang was like an octopus with tentacles reaching everywhere. But tonight was a much needed rest, she needed to heal and he needed to recharge and regroup. He stared at the moon through the window.
We're going to do this.
The two suited men eventually settled upon a hotel complex near the back of the town to have a little distance and privacy from the town itself. "You sure they'll even still be here, Alan?"
"They were pointed this way and it's the only little town in the area. So unless they decided to go native and sleep in the woods, there's a good chance they're here."
"What is it about this briefcase that the boss wants so much? I mean, he's got the dough already, the amount in the case is nothing to him."
"It's not about the money."
"Pfft, it's always about the money."
"no, Samuel, this time it isn't."
"What, he have some vendetta against that hot little brunette?"
"Nah, it's the case itself. Turned out to be his mother's, passed down and used in all of his dealings. Almost like a family good luck charm."
"Oh damn, I see why he wants it back so bad."
"Yeah, I was in the room once when someone tried to destroy it to prove some kind of superiority. I never saw the boss so mad. Boss removed his eyes with a spoon."
Samuel squirmed in his seat a little. "We better get that case then."
"We rest up tonight and go at it hard tomorrow, we have to find them tomorrow because they won't stay here long, they know we're coming."
The night sky ran full of clouds with a flash of lightning here and there. Stars twinkled reaching out across the cosmos catching every dream that floated into the stratosphere. The deep purples of the sky slowly melted to a navy blue as the sun began its ascent above the horizon and into the clouds. The rain slowed to a steady mist and what rays could escape through the cloudy sky shined through the motel window lighting up Meg's face. Edward was up and had just finished shaving, currently wiping his face. She woke feeling much more rested and sat up holding the sheet over her. "A sunny day? Did we die in our sleep?"
"If we did then I must be in heaven with you here."
"Morning cheese, I love it."
"We can't stay here very long, let's get some food in us and find some wheels then go."
"I think we can stay for a little longer." She let the sheet drop revealing her naked body and shook her breasts lightly. "Or at least another twenty minutes?" Laying back down she spread her legs and began playing with herself.
"You drive a hard bargain darlin."
"Bring that hard bargain over here."
They joined together in bed, Meg's giggling filled the air.
Police cars lined the field around the farm. Officers were shining flashlights around the burned out car and setting up crime scenes around the charred remains of the three men. Inside, Bethany sat with two officers who were putting her through a round of questioning.
"I know this is a hard time for you ma'am but we just want to ask you some questions quickly if we can."
"Yes,yes."
"My men counted three in the barn and your husband inside the home. Do you know of anyone else who may have been around and attacked?"
"No, it was just me here."
"Was there anyone around who you think may have done this, any enemies of your husband, disgruntled work acquaintances?"
"Yusif didn't have any enemies. Nobody even really came around the house. Except..."
"Yes?"
"There was this young couple. Yeah, a dangerous looking man and a shorter woman. She had been shot in the arm and they had wanted to stay here until she was okay and then left."
"You said she was shot?"
"In the arm yes, pretty little thing."
"Could you describe them to our sketch artist possibly?"
"I think I could."
"We thank you for you time ma'am and we promise this will be very accommodating for you."
The two officers got up and regrouped with a few others in another room. "Take down her descriptions and get me some visuals on the two that stayed the night here, they may be our suspects."
An hour later the sketch artist emerged with two drawings and presented them to the captain. One was a man in a trenchcoat with blonde hair and a five o clock shadow and the other a short brunette girl with big eyes. The officer passed them to his first in command. "Get these printed up and plastered around the area. We are looking for this couple responsible for the murder of four people and arson. I want everything checked within a ten mile radius, every home and every town. I want any lead you find reported back to me immediately. This murderous couple won't know what hit them."

The Coast within View, the More Dangers Arise
The road led on in the most boring fashion with all the wonderful views of rocks of various sizes and grass swaying in the wind. Walking wasn't so bad after the rest from the night before but because of the healing wound, she was still a bit weak and hoped they reached the town soon. It was hard not to get caught up in the walk, taking it in as an almost date-like atmosphere. It was refreshing to get to experience more of the outside world as living the majority of her life in the city stunted her imagination as if that was all the world was. Buildings and roads. Grays and dim colors. And rain, oh the rain. There was a small piece of her that missed her apartment. She was a bit of a re decorator who frequently changed the layout of her place and spent most nights out on her balcony listening to records filling the evening sky with sounds of jazz and piano. The surrounding area even in stormy skies provided more color than she ever thought possible in nature. Brilliant green filled the trees and from the ground to the hills spilled over with oranges, browns, and reds. Edward walked next to her and she had been walking with him for an hour now and couldn't understand how they hadn't reached their destination yet. They hadn't stopped many times, in fact just once. He held her hand for most of the walk and they held one another under a particularly beautiful flower patch. Each day brought another moment that she wished she could freeze in time and just be with him without the worry of being followed or now shot at.
"What are you thinking about darlin."
"Just everything that's happened so far. Still amazes me that I've gone through what I have."
"You're a survivor."
"Thanks to you dew drop."
"I promise you with all my heart and my reputation on the line that I will get you out of this and we won't have to run anymore. Not ever again. Then we can live our life together and I'll make you the happiest woman in history."
"I hope so. Yesterday was a close call, I don't want any more of those."
"I have never been in such a state of panic like that. When I saw you had been shot, the most dreadful fears went through my head. I only get one go around in this life and the thought that one day you won't be in it scares me and yesterday I thought that fear may come true. There's so much i want to do with you and show you and experience. I'm so sorry these bad things keep happening to us."
"You don't have to be sorry for anything. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be here now. I wouldn't be anywhere. You saved me, continue to save me. I owe you my life and nothing would make me happier than to spend that life with you."
Back on the farm, Yusif was sitting at his kitchen table with the two men who had arrived earlier.
"So you took them in and helped the girl heal from a gunshot wound?"
"I couldn't let her die, not after what you had told me."
"Lucky we know the routes around here and were able to try and contact you first. Shame they were too clever and it cost us some good men."
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more."
"You sent them on the road we told you to, you did your part."
"He looked smart, he isn't going to go down without taking half of you with him. And her...she's..."
"Damn cute little thing."
"She's got a very well developed body."
"That so? What give you that information?"
"I watched her shower. It was...."
"Yeah alright creepo, back to business, you sent them east down the road, correct?"
"Yes, they will eventually reach a small town but the road is much longer than I told them, you should have no problem reaching them."
"You have no idea the shit we've had to deal with so far with this damn couple. From a city escape to a train incident to a burning farm and now they're still outrunning us. They aren't going to make it out of that town alive, I can guarantee you that."
"I should've gotten them while they were here."
"I told you, you did fine, your part is done now." He picked his gun up off the table.
"I appreciate your words and hope now I can rest and pick back up."
"I don't think you have to worry about that, you'll get some very good rest Yusif."
The man shot Yusif in the head toppling him backwards out of his chair.
"Rest easy Yusif. We'll inform your wife."
The sun was setting halfway down the sky when Edward took a serious look around their surroundings. "We should have been there by now."
"I told you we've been walking forever."
"Just a few more minutes and then we'll have to come up with a new plan. Not having a car is making this very difficult."
The couple continued to walk and just after the few moments allowed, a sign was noticed around the bend. It was for a small town located just up ahead.
"Oh, there it is, I can't wait to stop for a minute and just restock and recharge."
"How's the arm?"
"Hurts but at least I know nothing was damaged."
They quickly came across the small town that was only a few roads around and each one was lined with a different type of store. They didn't need much but it was nice knowing they had a place to stop for a moment and were able to get any supplies they needed. Like pain killers.
"We should get a motel room for the night so you can rest your arm and yourself for a bit. You look exhausted and it'll do you good."
"That's because I am exhausted. You don't have to convince me about staying overnight in a place with a bed and warmth."
Their entrance was brief and after looking in the windows of a few shops they stumbled upon a hotel and quickly after they got inside they had gotten a decent room. The television in the room played something for background noise and the two undressed to get into bed for a full nights rest. She didn't want to admit it but she was getting to enjoy the end of the day more than anything as it was her time to attach herself to his side and snuggle up close. In her apartment she would hold on to the pillow while she slept to simulate having someone there. She held tightly as they both drifted off to sleep.
A sleek car pulled into the town and two men sat inside. "They should've made it here by now. Just a quick asking around and we should be able to find them before morning."
"I'll inform the boss, he said to use any means necessary."
They got out of the car as the one began dialing a small phone.
"It's us. Tracked them to a small town off the main road. The farm house proved very useful and the patrons were taken care of. She's been shot. Farm owner patched her up but it will slow them down. We will. Yes. I'll call back once it's done."
They opened their trunk and each took a weapon and concealed it within their coat pockets. Each one of them slipped on black gloves and shut the trunk. The town stretched out before them and now they had to start checking buildings for their target.
Meg awoke in the middle of the night sweating. Unsure if it was due to the weather or another dream. Her feet pattered over to the kitchen and she filled a water glass and took to the window while drinking it. The moon lit up the streets and a few people darted around here and there. While she stared out the window she went over her own name in her head with his last name a few times. It was cute and she even had herself giggling a little thinking of child names. She set the glass down in the sink and adjusted her outfit before walking back to bed. On the way out of the corner of her eye she saw two men walking down the street looking oddly like the men who were after her. Shit. Why couldn't she just have one decent night. She would have to wake Edward, maybe this time they could get a jump on the other guys for a change. She walked into the bedroom and kissed him on the lips.
"Wake up my love, we've got company coming."

Farm Hospitality - Turkey Leg
A rooster tried as it might to squawk the morning's arrival but it was hard pressed to hear itself over the storm that had rolled in overnight. The majority of the rain helped put out the farm and out of habit, the farm owner had taken it upon himself to rise and shine very early that day. Parts of his farm needed tending to and he wanted to check out what had happened the night before himself before he got a story crafted by the two currently asleep in his guest room. Before notifying the local sheriff he wanted to make sure these two were in fact victims and not fugitives. Most of the animals had taken to stay indoors with the weather being what it was so feeding and milking what needed to be done wasn't too hard a task. As he walked towards the burned out wreckage that was his hay barn, he noticed a few choice things around the area. Not much was left unfortunately of his hay stock but at least it wasn't his livestock, then he would have been royally up the creek. The first thing that caught his eye was the hollow remains of an automobile with a license plate that, from what he could make out, seemed to read from many miles away. Two blackened skeletons lay strewn on each side of the car that suggested they died from the fire. He could still smell the ashes as he carefully maneuvered around the inside and towards the back of the barn. Rain pelted his coat and he had wished that the structure would've stayed in tact so that there would still be a roof to protect him. He was no detective but from what he could manage to put together it seemed that something happened with the car that caused it to probably explode and took those two poor souls with it. But did that couple cause that? His foot kicked something hard that drew his attention to the ground. It was one of his pitchforks and the rod was pierced through the rib cage of a third skeleton, a gun lay on the ground next to it. Did they kill these people or were these people after them? These three were still killed regardless and on his property in his barn. Too many questions that needed answering and the weather wasn't making him feel any better. Better go inside and start breakfast, it was going to be a very interesting day.
Pain radiated from her arm and her heartbeat could be felt all around the wound. It wasn't the best feeling to wake up to but at least she woke up. The night before was an experience she'd rather not go through again but if she could take anything from it, now she knew what it felt like to be shot. Thankfully it was just her arm and nothing was severely damaged and she was able to sit up in the bed. Her memory was fuzzy about how she got here, she remembered being saved by Edward and then picked up. The pain had caused her to become dizzy and the blood loss led to her passing out. Fire, she remembered fire as well. Edward was in a chair next to the bed laying over top of her sleeping away. She looked out the window to find some semblance of where she may be and surprise surprise it was dark and stormy. Was this just the weather now or was this one storm following her around like a love lorn young boy? Her arm stung and she attempted to bend it at the elbow, everything seemed to be in working order, it just hurt. The door opened and an older woman came into the room. "Well good morning, it's wonderful seeing you looking much better."
"Thank you so much, I'm so sorry, we must've troubled you something dreadful."
"Oh hush now, you were in quite a state and if we hadn't been up to help well I don't know what would've happened."
"I owe you my life, I am very grateful and am so sorry for all of this."
"You are more than welcome to make yourself at home, I've got breakfast cooking downstairs, why don't you take yourself a shower and get yourself situated. You've been through a heck of a night. Your friend there seems to still be reeling from his, I'll be downstairs whenever you're ready."
The woman left and Meg woke up Edward so she wasn't alone in farm town. "Hey, hey wake up. Where are we?"
"Huh? You're awake. How are you feeling?"
"Better. Arm hurts like a bitch though."
"I was so scared."
"You were scared? You must've seen a million people shot before."
"Nobody I loved before."
She smiled. "Thank you for saving me. I thought he had me in that corner. That fire idea kinda sorta backfired a little bit."
"We still made it out. You were great. It's these people we owe."
"They made us breakfast, said to shower and come down when I'm ready."
"I better speak to the farm owner. I don't know how I'm going to fix his barn situation."
"I'll let you handle that and take her up on that shower idea. I smell like burnt blood."
"I'm really glad you're okay. I couldn't lose you."
"I love you, now go downstairs and use your Mr.Detective voice to get us out of the barn massacre."
"Will do dew drop."
He gathered himself in the mirror for a moment, then kissed her and left the room. She slid out of bed and went into the adjoining room to find a small bathroom that was decorated the way she assumed her grandmother's bathroom would look. In the mirror she looked a bit worse for the wear. Half her shirt was stained with her own blood and her arm looked like it had tried to leave her body. Let's not even mention the hair. She opened her bag and found more of her clothes and shut the door. Stripping down she did her best not to make any mess anywhere for the people to clean up and entered the shower. The water felt amazing running down her naked body to the point where she was half tempted to masturbate but quickly dashed the idea as it was too uncomfortable doing it in a stranger's home who her first introduction to them was passed out and bleeding to death. Once she had cleaned herself the best she could she could've sworn she saw a shadow in the mirror through the doors of the shower. She leaned closer and squinted her eyes and something moved and the door shut. Her hands instinctively covered her breasts and vagina and she froze in place. Was someone watching her? Heart beating in her chest she was infinitely grateful she decided not to pleasure herself. Being extra cautious she turned off the water and peered out around the shower door to find the room empty. Maybe just jumpy hallucinations from all the crap she's been through? She quickly got dressed still paranoid about what had happened.
Downstairs Edward had investigated the house a little bit before entering the kitchen to find the woman of the household. "Good morning ma'am. I wanted to thank you for taking us in last night and providing the medical care my girl needed. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you just let me know."
"Oh come now, we are just being good Samaritans, sit yourself down at the table and eat, you could use it after your night."
He sat at the table and after a few moments the farm owner walked down from upstairs. He didn't look super friendly at the moment. Edward had seen faces like that before.
"Morning, I want to thank you again for the medical care you provided last night. I don't know what I would have done if not for you."
"Used to patching up the animals around here but I was more than happy to help out someone in need."
"And I greatly appreciate it, you have no idea."
The woman brought more food in as Meg descended the stairs and joined them at the table. The farm owner looked at her with an odd sense of creepiness and Meg blushed and held Edward's hand.
"We never got your names we were in such a rush last night. My name is Edward and this is Meg."
The owner accepted a plate of food from his wife. "Yusif and this is my wife Bethany."
Halfway through the meal, Yusif couldn't hold it in any longer. "I was....looking at my barn this morning..."
"My sincerest apologies, I will pay whatever I can to help fix it up and whatever else I can do to help. You had no part in all of that and I feel terrible about it."
"That's just it....what in the hell happened in there?"
"There was a misunderstanding and some car trouble, bit of a long story."
"That so? That story involve a gun and three murdered men?"
There was a quiet pause.
"Well, yes, to be honest there was a gang after us and we did what we had to in defense because they were about to kill us."
"Why were they after you?"
"They thought we had something that they've been looking for."
"Interesting."
The rest of the meal was a little uncomfortable although some of the best turkey legs they had ever eaten. Once they were finished it felt like they had been stuffed to the gills. "That was some meal, thank you so much. For everything."
The afternoon set in and while the sky remained black, the rain had let up. Edward and Meg had all their things and were saying their goodbyes.
"Thank you so much again, you have my card so if anything comes up that I can do let me know."
"Anything for a fellow person. The town is about two miles down the road, you can get another car and some supplies there."
Meg began to walk with Edward down the front porch. "I owe you guys my life, thank you with all my heart."
"No problem at all, you've both been gracious guests with genuine personalities and wonderful views."
Yusif winked when he said the last part. Did he see me naked? She felt a rush of fear and grabbed Edward's hand as they walked towards the road. Once they were far enough away she felt a little easier. "Back on our dangerous adventure."
"Hell I think if we can handle days like yesterday we can handle anything these people throw at us."
"I don't know about that farm though."
"What do you mean?"
"I feel like he spied on me in the shower."
"Really?"
"I don't know, maybe i'm just paranoid."
"Lucky guy."
"Shut up."
She hit him and they continued down the road.
Hours later a knock came at the door of the farm house. Yusif answered the door. "Can I help you gentleman?"
Two men dressed in suits were at the door. "Yeah, we noticed you had an interesting barn out here that may contain some of our friends. Possibly could we ask you some questions?"
He pulled a gun out and aimed it at Yusif's head. "And we aren't really taking no for an answer."
Bethany saw from the kitchen and dropped a glass, it shattered on the ground.
"You see, we're looking for somebody."

His Beautiful Survivor
Using what strength she had in her, she tossed the lit match towards the liquid and pushed herself up to a run in the opposite direction, Edward right behind her. The match strike the gasoline and immediately set the liquid ablaze. The fiery line quickly spread along the ground and underneath the car towards the men. The first man dove out of the way while the other two realized what was going on, but it was too late. First the fire under their feet ignited around them and before they knew it, the car absorbed a portion of the blaze and exploded. Shrapnel and a fireball consumed the two men killing them while the third covered best he could under a nearby tarp. They were going to pay for that. The fire and explosion were so large that it all ignited the hay around the area and soon the entire barn was catching fire. Smoke filled the air as Edward picked up Meg and supported her. Her legs were weak from the pain. "Edward, I can't, the pain. It's making me dizzy."
"Just hold on a little longer darlin, Get out of this barn with me and it'll all be better."
The flames were all encompassing but hadn't fully engulfed the entire barn yet, an exit up above may be their only option but climbing was a bit out of the question. Smoke was starting to obscure their view.
"Real cute, cut off your own exit stupid. I'd love to see what you've got planned next."
One was still alive. Not good. He was right, there was only one exit and that was forward, but how to get around this guy. Meg was starting to get weak from blood loss, he had to get her out of there. He didn't have any weapons so he would have to improvise. He could feel her grip on him loosening, the thought of losing her was too much to bare, there had to be something here to get them out of there. The man was making his way around the fires through any spot that wasn't too hot.
"Poetic for you isn't it? Going out in a blaze of glory."
Edward picked up Meg and carried her to the back corner of the barn and set her down behind a large hay stack. "I'm going to take care of our visitor, my love, please hold on for me."
"I promise."
Starting to worry, he left her there and started scanning the area for anything he could use. He had to get the drop on this guy and get them out of there before the smoke suffocated them both. The only way around this guy seemed to be from above, she couldn't climb but he could. Taking off with a run, he reached the ladder leading up to the overhead loft. Taking it faster than he should have, he scaled the ladder to the very top. A bullet whizzed past his hand and hit the wood near him.
"You ain't making it out of here, climb all you want, you got nowhere to go."
This idiot is willing to sacrifice himself in here just to take me down. He took the ladder faster and reached the top. There was yet more hay and a variety of farming equipment, there had to be something in here he could use. Gunshots started again and pieces of wood started exploding near his feet. Good, now he is going to shoot up through the floor hoping to hit me. Have to keep him on me so he doesn't find Meg. The smoke was getting thicker and ahead of him was a pitchfork and some rope. I think I can make this work.
Below, the man was pacing and looking up towards the ceiling, he walked to the ladder and kicked it over so Edward was stuck up above. Once the ladder banged down on to the ground he noticed little specks of blood that led a trail to the back of the barn.
"Interesting."
He followed the trail and the closer he got to the back of the barn the less smoke he had to deal with making his vision a lot better. Careful not to be caught in another trap, he took careful steps to where the blood was leading him. The spots led to the back corner of the barn and the first thing he saw were legs pulled into a short feminine body. It was the girl. She was wounded and didn't look too good. This was perfect. With his gun held up he turned around the pile of hay.
"Well well well, look at what we have here. Miss runaway finally got what she deserved."
Her breath was slowing. "Screw you."
"Had you been in a little better condition I may have took you up on that offer."
"I can't....tell which you....guys would rather....do.....catch me...or fuck me..."
"Lucky for you you won't have any more trouble with decisions now, nighty night."
He raised the gun to her and suddenly his eyes widened and he froze in place, a few specks of blood hit Meg in the face. With bleary eyes she looked up and the man dropped his gun with a look of surprise on his face. Behind him was Edward holding on to a rope dangling from above and in the other hand was a pitchfork which was firmly through the man in the suit. The man dropped to his knees and fell over dead, Edward running over to her. "You okay darlin?"
"Smoke...I'm warm."
"Just stay with me babe, we're getting out of here."
He picked her up and dodged all the fire he could and ran with her out of the barn. The night provided a much cooler atmosphere and with no smoke he could breath much easier. Her arm was completely red and she was barely keeping her eyes open. No please don't take her, not my angel. He started to run not even sure where he was going. There was a main farmhouse in the center where he was hoping the farmer lived. His eyes were trained on her the whole time watching her begin to pass out. She was still as beautiful as ever. The closer he got to the farmhouse the more he was praying.
"Help! We need help!"
His yells seemed to have been answered as lights came on in the house. The porch was getting closer and the front door opened just as he reached the house. An older man and woman opened the door and saw this man running for them with a woman in his arms bleeding and their barn was on fire.
"What in the hell is going on?"
"Please, she is hurt, I can't lose her, is there any way you can help me."
"What did you do to my barn?"
"I'll pay for all of it and fix it all just please, can you help her."
The farmer looked at him and then at his wife unsure of what to make of the situation.
"Yeah, bring her in, hurry."
He was let in and the farmer helped place her on a sofa while the wife grabbed a blanket and some tools for the husband.
"She's lost a lot of blood, we need to stop the bleeding."
He set her up and pulled her hand away from her arm. So much was happening so fast that Edward felt like everything was moving at a blur. If there was anything he could do to make sure she survived he would do it. He cursed those men from following them, they just wouldn't let up. The farmer seemed to know what he was doing and had applied something to her arm and was using tweezers to pull something out of her wound. He tossed a small silver object into a tray and then put more liquids on the wound. At this point Meg had passed out but he made sure he saw her still breathing. The wound had stopped bleeding and was being stitched up. It all seemed so fast, probably because he was so out of it and panicked. Everything was going a little dark and he had to sit down himself. He reached over and held her hand before everything went black.
A few hours later it was the middle of the night and he awoke in a chair next to a bed. Meg was in the bed sleeping and her arm was bandaged up. The farmer's wife opened the door and noticed he had woken up. "She's going to be fine. She had a bullet in her arm, now I don't want to ask any questions but I am glad she is alright. You need some rest too, I was just checking on you both."
"Very much appreciated ma'am, I owe you everything in the world."
The woman watched as Edward held on to the girl's hand and watched her face. She had seen that look before, it was why she agreed to marry her husband. "You two get some sleep, we'll check on you again in the morning."
"Thank you so much, I am beyond grateful."
The wife left and Edward continued to watch his beautiful girl laying in bed recovering.
"I was so scared I was going to lose you. I don't know what I would have done. I can't tell you the feeling I had when I saw you get hit. A mix of rage at those men and panic at the thought that there was going to be a moment where I wasn't with you anymore. Hopefully you aren't having one of your bad dreams now. We got lucky. If this home wasn't here.....I don't know what we would have done. I love you. Through heaven or hell I am going to get us through this so something like this never happens again and we can live happily ever after."
He squeezed her hand and pulled the chair right up against the bed so that he could rest his head on her. In the quiet of the night he began to sing to her.
"Watch the sky for me,
"Just hold on a little longer darlin, Get out of this barn with me and it'll all be better."
The flames were all encompassing but hadn't fully engulfed the entire barn yet, an exit up above may be their only option but climbing was a bit out of the question. Smoke was starting to obscure their view.

A few hours later it was the middle of the night and he awoke in a chair next to a bed. Meg was in the bed sleeping and her arm was bandaged up. The farmer's wife opened the door and noticed he had woken up. "She's going to be fine. She had a bullet in her arm, now I don't want to ask any questions but I am glad she is alright. You need some rest too, I was just checking on you both."
"Very much appreciated ma'am, I owe you everything in the world."
The woman watched as Edward held on to the girl's hand and watched her face. She had seen that look before, it was why she agreed to marry her husband. "You two get some sleep, we'll check on you again in the morning."
"Thank you so much, I am beyond grateful."
The wife left and Edward continued to watch his beautiful girl laying in bed recovering.
"I was so scared I was going to lose you. I don't know what I would have done. I can't tell you the feeling I had when I saw you get hit. A mix of rage at those men and panic at the thought that there was going to be a moment where I wasn't with you anymore. Hopefully you aren't having one of your bad dreams now. We got lucky. If this home wasn't here.....I don't know what we would have done. I love you. Through heaven or hell I am going to get us through this so something like this never happens again and we can live happily ever after."
He squeezed her hand and pulled the chair right up against the bed so that he could rest his head on her. In the quiet of the night he began to sing to her.
"Watch the sky for me,
Watch the night.
I'll be there for you,
In starlight.
I'll be there for you,
In starlight.
As your feet touch the ground,
I'll be floating along
Watch the sky for me...
tonight"
His eyes got heavy and he joined her in slumber. Try as they might, they weren't going to separate or stop them. Once they reached the coast he wasn't going to hold anything back. But for tonight, he couldn't think of any place he would rather be than snuggled up close to her, his survivor. He kissed her on the cheek and laid with her and they both rested into the night, he hoped the next day would prove much easier and maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be stalked by someone trying to kill them.
Out on the porch, the farmer watched his farm burn down to sinders and slowly go out in the night sky. Whoever they were just about cost him his farm. Suspicion arose but for tonight, let them sleep. But be careful, who knows what else these people are capable of.
