Down the road.... part 11

Rachel walked in, closed the door and turned around to look at Bo before she fully comprehended what he had asked her.

R: What do you mean, 'where is mom'? She's supposed to be here.

B: She's not

R: I left her here right before lunch. She wanted to help me find a dress for something this weekend. I knew she was waaayyy too tired to do that but I came over anyway figuring she'd have to realize how tired she was when she actually tried to get out of bed.

B: and

R: and that's what happened… she managed to get herself dressed but that's about it. I left her downstairs on the couch… she was totally wiped out Bo. How could she have gone anywhere?

B: That's what I want to know.

Bo didn't like that Nora had disappeared… he liked it even less that she disappeared right after Sam and Melanie left his office… He picked up the phone.

B: Sam?

S: Hi Bo. What can I do for you?

B: When was the last time you saw Nora?

S: Hey, like you said… whatever happens between Nora and me is between us… works both ways pal. If she won't tell you what we talked about, then why should I?

Bo was furious. He slammed down the phone and headed out the door. Rachel was scared. She picked up the phone.

H: Hank Gannon

R: Daddy, it's Rachel.

H: Of course it is.. who else calls me Daddy?

R: Daddy, I think you should go over to Sam's right away.

H: Why?

R: I got over to Bo's and mom isn't here and Bo called Sam and then slammed down the phone in a rage and left..

H: What? Never mind.. Ok honey.. where's Matthew?

R: Probably next door, I'll go get him and make him some dinner.

H: That's a good idea..

R: Daddy?

H: Yeah baby

R: be careful, ok? Don't get stuck between the two of them

H: Don't you worry about me.. I'm bigger than both of them put together. It'll be fine.

R: Ok. Bye Daddy

Rachel hung up the phone, then dialed the Palace.

R: Granma? Hi, could you come over to Bo's?

S: Sure baby. How's your mom? Your granpa and I were heading over there anyway. Your mom sounded pretty out of it this morning when we talked. Is everything ok?

R: I don't think so… mom isn't here and I think Bo is going over to kill Sam and daddy said he'd be ok but Bo looked pretty out of control and I have to go find Matthew next door and pretend everything's ok but if Bo kills Sam then his dad'll be in jail and

S: Rachel honey.. calm down and take a breath…. Ok take another one….

R: I'm ok

S: Sweetie, you stay where you are… granpa and I will be right there. Matthew's next door playing?

R: Yup

S: Well, it's near dinner time.. why don't you go get him and we'll bring some dinner with us…

R: Ok … I will… thanks granma…

S: We'll see you in a bitsweetie. We love you.... Bye'
******************************************.
Len and Asa were at the bar having a drink arguing about who Matthew looked more like… Selma walked up to them both.

S: Ok boys, wrap it up

A: Selma, we're busy

S: I'm serious Asa, Renee and I are going over to Bo's… you two can come if you want or you can just stay here and be useless all evening.

She walked into the kitchen to find Renee

R: Selma, over here. It's all set.

S: Ok, let's go.

Selma and Renee walked right past Asa and Len.

A: Damn, your wife is a pain

L: Don't you just love her?

Nigel pulled up with the car and Renee and Selma got in. Nigel pulled away from the curb.

S: Honestly, I don't know what gets into those two sometimes!

R: Did you tell them anything?

S: Do they ever let you get a word in edgewise?

R: That's true…

S: I just can't believe Nora would walk away on her own. When I talked to her this morning, she didn't sound like she could get out of bed on her own.

R: Don't worry, Bo and Hank'll find her. The best thing we can do is make sure Matthew and Rachel are ok.

S: Rachel was hysterical on the phone…

R: Well, I have to admit… I could see Bo killing Sam, or trying to anyway, if he thought Sam had hurt Nora. That's been coming for a long time, if you ask me.
****************************************.
Len had no idea what was going on, but it wasn't like Selma to take off without Him… teasing Asa was one thing…

L: Something's wrong

A: Yeah, your damn wife took off with my car!

Renee had left instructions with the front desk that if Asa and Len needed a taxi because they ignored Selma, then the front desk staff could take their time calling for a taxi. The front desk staff loved teasing Asa.

A: Boy

Front Desk Guy: Excuse me? I don't see any boys here.

A: Boy you listen to me.. I need a taxi.. NOW

FDG: Of course, Mr. Devine, I mean Buchanan

Asa slammed his hand down on the counter. Front Desk Guy was used to this and just kept dialing… he dialed the weather.

FDG: Hello? I need a taxi at the Palace right away…. (The weather in Llanview for the next 24 hours…) excellent, thank you. ……They will be here soon Sir.

A: They better be or I'll

FDG: I know.. you'll have my job.

Asa stalked off and went over to where Len was standing.

L: I don't like this.

20 minutes later Asa was about ready to tear up the place... Front Desk Guy figured he couldn't stand much more and called a taxi… it was there almost immediately. Asa and Len climbed in and sped over to Bo's

They stormed in to find Selma and Rachel in the kitchen and Renee upstairs giving Matthew his bath.

L: Honey, where's Bo and Nora?

Rachel: I don't know, gran pa. I mean… Bo's at Sam's and daddy went after him

A: Where's your mom?

Rachel: I don't know Asa.

S: Asa, you be nice. We told Matthew that his mom and dad were out having dinner and that they would be back soon. Don't you worry him. You hear me?

A: damn you woman… I wouldn't do anything to hurt him...

Matthew came running down the stairs when he heard his grand parents talking downstairs…

M: Grand Pa's… he threw himself at Len who was closest. Len picked him up with a big grin toward Asa.

L: Hey big guy…. Don't you know when you start a bath, you're supposed to finish it?

Renee walked in.

Renee: Young man, you are not finished upstairs.

M: Grand pa doesn't mind being all soapy, do you grand pa?

L: Nope…

R: Well then, why don't you take him upstairs and rinse him off and put on his pajamas.. then we can all eat.

M: Yeah!

Matthew got down and hugged Asa's knees.

M: Hi grandpa… can you come too?

R: I think that is an excellent idea boys. Out of the kitchen, NOW. Len, you can probably find a dry shirt in Bo's closet..

The three of them trooped upstairs…

************************************8
Sam's

Sam and Melanie were arguing about Bo and Nora (again?) Sam didn't like that Melanie stayed behind to talk to Bo and Melanie didn't like that Sam was still chasing after Nora.. (Sam, she's got cancer for god's sake, LEAVE HER ALONE!)

 

Bo could hear them arguing and stood outside for a couple of minutes to see if he could hear something useful. It sounded like Sam must have been the last person to see Nora.

Bo pounded on the door. Sam opened it and in one motion Bo had Sam through the door and up against the side of the house. He punched him hard once in the stomach and waited for Sam to recover. Melanie stayed inside.

S: What the hell are you doing?

B: Where the hell is Nora?

S: She was fine the last time I saw her.

Bo punched him again.

B: Nora was not fine. Where is she?

S: I don't know… Did she run away from you? Most sensible move she's made in years! Except for the last time she left you.

Bo punched him again. Sam struggled to get away from Bo with no success.

B: You were the last person to see her today... WHERE IS SHE?

Hank strode up.

H: Bo, don't kill him

B: Why?

H: You'll scare Rachel…

B: Oh

H: Besides, Renee told Matthew you'd be home for dinner and it could take awhile to do the paperwork if you kill him

B: Damn

Bo took a deep breath and exhaled, loosening his grip. Sam tried to snake away but Hank grabbed him and slammed him back up against the wall

S: What is it with you people?

H: Did you or did you not see Nora after we talked in Bo's office this morning?

S: Maybe

Bo moved toward him, Sam flinched.

H: What did you talk about?

S: None of your business

Hank kept one hand around Sam's throat and Held Bo off with the other

H: You better come up with something better than that … I can't hold Bo off for long….

S: I went to see how she was… I was worried

H: Keep talking

S: We just talked.. it was nothing

Melanie: Well, that's not what you told me!

B: What did you do to her?

H: You want me to let Bo at you?

S: This is police brutality!

H: I don't see anything? Answer the question

S: I didn't do anything…

H: What did you talk about?

M: Sam got mad at Nora because she told him she didn't exactly remember being in love with him.

H: Nora doesn't remember events or things or who people are.. she only remembers feelings and emotions…

M: Well, apparently she didn't remember the FEELING of being in love with Sam. He apparently insisted.

H: What else?

S: I just told her that... this is none of your business.

M: He told her that Bo was just with her because of Matthew … that he left her once, he would leave her again… because, of course, we all know Sam is the only man that truly loves her…

Bo went at Sam... Hank let him get a little closer…

S: Hank! Keep him away from me

H: Why?

S: You're the DA

H: I'm Nora's ex-husband and good friend and my little girl is scared to death that you might have hurt her mother... and it turns out that you did… gee… whose side am I on? Let's see…. Scum... friend.. scum… friend….

B: Where is she?

S: I don't know…

H: Where was she when you saw her last?

S: Sitting on the couch… Asa had just left when I got there… maybe he scared her…

H: Bo… you go back to the house…

B: I'm not leaving.

H: Bo, Nora is not here. We need to find her so she can at least get her medicine. I am not leaving you here with Sam.. I mean it. He's scum and not worth beating the cr*p out of … get in your car.

Bo glared at Sam and left. Hank waited til Bo got in his car and pulled off.

H: You hear one word from her, you call me.. you understand?

M: We will Hank. I promise… Come on inside lover boy.

Hank left as Melanie went in to the kitchen to get some ice.
*************************************************
Bo's house

Bo walked in and they all turned looking for Nora.

M: Hi Daddy.. where's mommy?

Selma realized she'd need to cover for Bo…

S: Honey, mommy must have stayed to help her friend..

B (looking gratefully at Selma): That's right. She'll be home soon.

M: Ok… can I have ice cream?

Bo went over to the table to give him a hug.

B: Sure… but

M: I know… don't tell mommy!
********************************************.
The phone rang, Bo answered

B: Buchanan

A: Hi Bo, it's Andrew

B: Andrew.. Hi.. um.. what can I do for you?

A: Well, are you perhaps looking for Nora?

B: Oh my god, you found her.

A: She's asleep in my bed

B: What?

A: I came home, noticed the door was ajar, wandered around and found her sound asleep in my bed with a letter clenched in her hand. She's still asleep, I didn't see any point in waking her.

B: No, don't. I'll be right there.

Bo hung up the phone and turned around to look at everyone

B: She's at Andrew's

He grabbed the bottle of her pills and ran out. From the car phone he called Hank. He barely turned off the car before jumping out and running up to Andrew's door. Andrew was standing in the doorway as he strode up the walk.

A: Come on in

B: She still asleep?

A: Yes.

B: Could you get her some water? She has to take these.

A: Ok

Bo tip toed into Andrew's bedroom

B: Red… hey… can you wake up for me?

Nora stirred

N: Hey….

B: Hi there beautiful.

Nora looked around

N: Why am I here?

B: Well, I don't know… Andrew brought you some water so you could take your pills. Here.

Nora took them, grimacing at the taste…

N: Yuck

She looked around, then down at the letter in her hand.

N: Oh, now I remember

B: Do you wanna talk about it?

She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

N: No… can we just go home? Please

Bo held her close for a minute.

B: Of course.. come on.

He picked her up and carried her to the car.

B: Andrew, would you please call Larry? Let him know I'm heading home with her? Thanks

Bo loaded her into the car and climbed in.

N: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry anyone.

B: Did Sam scare you?

N; No… well… maybe a little… I don't know

B: Hey… it's ok. Whatever it is, we'll face it together, remember?

N (sniffling) : Yeah, ok. I'm tired.

B: That's ok. We'll get you into bed…

N: Is Larry mad?

B: No, just worried.

N: I'm sorry…

B: Hey… don't worry about us… the most important thing is to get you in bed. You can eat something, then rest.

N: I am sooooo tired…. And I don't feel so good…

B: ssshhhh just relax, we're almost there.

They were both silent the rest of the way home.
***************************************.
Bo's House

He walked in with Nora in his arms. Larry sent him straight upstairs and followed. Bo laid her carefully down on the bed and backed off to let Larry get close enough to examine her.

L: Bo, could I have a minute please?

B: Um, sure

L: Hi honey… how do you feel?

Nora was half asleep

N: Ok… sleepy

L: You look sleepy… You gave us all a scare…have you eaten anything?

N: No… I'm sorry… Larry I don't feel so good.

L: I'm not surprised. Why don't you just lie there and let me have a look.

He gave her a thorough exam

L: Honey, I'll give you something for the nausea and the pain in your back but I want you to eat something.

N (groggily): I'm not allowed to eat my own cooking, remember?

L: That's true… that's why Nigel was here.

N: I love Nigel

L (smiling): He loves you too. He left something for dinner

N: Is it good for me?

L: Yes, but it's ok - he made it taste like chocolate

N: I think I'm going to marry him

L: Well, don't tell Bo

B: Don't tell me what?

Bo peeked around the door…

L: Nora is going to marry Nigel for his cooking…

They both smiled.

B: Hey Red… sounds like you're back.

L: Bo, Could you go downstairs and get her a plate? I want to give her something but she needs to eat first.

B: Ok.. um.. I gave her her medicine as soon as I got to Andrew's…

L: I know, you told me. This is to help with the nausea and her back pain.

N: Bo can help me with my back pain

L: Not tonight honey... I want you to sleep.

N: Meanie! You obviously have never had Bo help you with your back pain…

L: Well, that's true.

 

N: Do you want me to ask him to? He's very good…. Wanna know my favorite part?

L: No thanks…

N: Larry, you need to have more fun…

L: Sweetie, I have plenty of fun with my wife…. I don't need to take Bo away from you…

N: Oh… well … um… I didn't know you had a wife…

L: Yeah.. that seems to be going around… lie back down honey while we wait for Bo…

Bo went downstairs looking for food.

S: Is she ok?

B: Yes, I guess… Larry wants her to eat something

S: Great… I'll take it up

B: well…I was

S: She's my baby, Bo. You stay down here with yours…

L: Better listen to her Bo…

B: yeah, ok. It's Matthew's bedtime anyway.

M: Daddy!

A: Why don't you put him down, then come back down here and fill us all in.

Bo took Matthew up to kiss Nora goodnight, then tucked him in. Matthew crashed almost immediately. Bo went downstairs and filled them all in on what he knew. Larry followed him down the stairs and stayed to answer their questions. He waited until Selma came down, answered her questions as well, instructed them all to leave Nora to sleep and left.

B: Ok guys… you heard him

R: Bo, I could stay and um... help you with Matthew.

H: Honey, your mom's gonna be ok… Why don't you come by for breakfast..

B: Rachel, that would be great… is that ok?

Rachel (disappointed): Yeah, I guess. She kissed them all and she and Hank left.

Bo motioned to Asa and Renee: Ok you two… thank Nigel for me though…

A: I'm not leaving 'til they leave

S: Asa Buchanan, you get out of here and leave my baby alone.

A: I am not leaving

Renee: Yes, Asa, you are. Selma, please stop picking on my husband.

S: Oh, ok… for tonight anyway.

They both smiled.
Bo showed them all to the door, then went back up to Nora. She had eaten most of her dinner and was feeling pretty good after that pain pill.

N: Hi Sweetie..

B: Hey, you ate it all.

N: Yup… now I'm having a bit of a dilemma

B: A dilemma?

N: Yup… your back rubs or Nigel's health food that tastes like chocolate…. Back rub... chocolate… back rub.. chocolate…

Bo was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

B: You are high as a kite

N: Yup… I'm Nora.. fly me…

She sat up in bed and grabbed him by the shirt collar..

N: Don't you want to fly me?

B: I was given very explicit instructions to let you sleep tonight… Larry said no backrubs

N: That's not what he said…

B: It isn't?

N: No… Larry said he didn't need you to give him a back rub 'cause he has a wife… did you know that?

B: I met her a couple of weeks ago…

N: Oh… well anyway. He thinks his wife gives a better back rub than you do.. How do you think he would know that?

Bo was having a real hard time not laughing at her.

B: Well, why don't you ask him tomorrow when he stops in.

N: Larry's coming back? He should stay at home with his wife.

B: Well, he's coming back. Now I want you to lie down and sleep

N: Well, I want you to make love to me, only I don't want to lie down… that's not very comfortable…

B: Does your back hurt? I'm sorry… I didn't realize.. I thought the drugs..

N: Bo… I'm just fine.. and I'm not high…

(Bo was sure he would pass out from the effort to not laugh at her)

N: I just would like you to touch me… all over…

She started to unbutton her shirt. Bo stopped her.

B: Red, Larry was really clear.

N: Larry does not get to tell me how I feel or what I want. No one does, not Larry… not Sam… not Melanie… not anyone…. Not even you…

B: Hey… slow down… No one wants to tell you what you want… you just need some sleep.

N: I need you to want me. I need you to touch me… so don't tell me that I don't… I hate that… it hurts too much…

Nora started crying, Bo moved to the bed and held her.

B: Sssshhhhh… listen, I don't know what Sam said to you but whatever it was it doesn't matter…

N: I hate Sam

B: Me too

N: You better

Bo smiled…

B: Why don't we lie down and get some sleep..

N: No… it hurts my back to lie down... and I'm cold… I told you what I want… what's wrong with you anyway?

B: Nothing…

N: Are you mad about the condoms? I'm sorry…

B: Sorry? For what? Being so irresistible all I can think about is making love to you?

Nora smiled mischievously

N: See.. you don't want to go to sleep either….

Nora started to play with his pants…

N: come here little Bo…

Bo squirmed…

N: Hey.. don't move so far away…

B: Red… You need to sleep and I need to take a cold shower... right away.

N: No.

B: What do you mean, No.

N: Ok… please don't go

B: That's better…

N: don't you want to make love to me?

B: That… is the stupidest question I have heard all day.

N: Good

She started to undo his pants again.

B: Red… Larry said

N: Please don't talk to me about Larry. He's very nice but he doesn't understand. I like his pills but that's about it. He scowls a lot at me.

B: He's worried about you… so am I.

N: Then you should want to make me feel better. I want you to take your clothes off and hold me bery... I mean 'very' close. That makes me feel good. I seem to be having problems with my 'v's'.

B: Red

N: Can we have a fire too? I like fires….

She started tugging on his pants again.

B: Ok.. listen. I will go downstairs and make us a fire. Then we can curl up in front of it and rest for awhile.

Nora giggled…

N: Oh goodie.. but no clothes…

Bo smiled

B: You are impossible…

N: Please don't say that…

Bo pushed her back down on the bed and pulled up his pants.

B: How about I carry you down with me.

N (big grin): Ok

She grabbed him around the neck, almost knocking him over.

B (under his breath): You are definitely high as a kite, at least!

Bo carried her down stairs and she had his shirt unbuttoned and out of his pants by the time he put her down on the couch. As he pulled away she grabbed one sleeve. He spun around and she pulled off his shirt the rest of the way..

N: Whee!!! Much better… Now bring your pants over here, I can't quite reach...

B: Red. You stay put and let me build the fire.

N: Oh all right

Bo finished with the fire and turned around to look at her.. he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was completely naked on the couch with a big mischievous grin on her face. Her whole chest, including most of her left breast, was still bruised from the catheter. She held her arms out to him and smiled..

N: Come over here please…

Bo figured it would be easier to just take off his own pants so he did. As he leaned on the couch to get out of them, Nora pulled him down and was on top of him before he knew it. He pulled the blanket off the back of the couch and wrapped it around both of them and settled her on his lap.

N: Isn't this better?

B: well

N: Don't you dare lecture me.

She started drawing pictures on his chest with her fingers… Bo jumped

N: Oh… sorry

B: Hey, don't be. It just tickles a little

She lay her head down on his shoulder and pulled as close as she could get.

N: So…

B: So….

N: Are you really determined to not make love to me tonight?

B: You are high as a kite.

N (giggling): Am not

B: Are too

N: Am too

B: gotcha!

N: Hey….

B: I love you …

N: I can hear a 'but'

B: But…. You are supposed to be resting.

N: How could I possibly be any more resting? I am sitting on your lap, you have your arms around me so I couldn't move if I tried and I'm just leaning here on your nice, big shoulder… the only one not resting here is 'little bo'.

B: Hey… don't call him little… he doesn't like it.

N (giggling): Ok.. Big Bo… Big Big Big Bo…

She squirmed on this lap….

N: I think Big Bo likes me… no matter what anyone else says… What do you think?

B: I think I am losing this battle and fast…

N: Goodie

B: But….

N: But what

B: I don't remember what I did with the condoms…

N: Condoms, schmondoms… who cares…

B: I do... and so would you if you were sober…

N: I am not drunk… I'm high…. There's a difference you know…

B: Off on a technicality officer

Bo lifted her off his lap and placed her gently back on the sofa. He wrapped her up in the blanket and kissed her.

B: You stay here... I'm going to find the condoms..

As soon as Bo moved away from the couch she got up and followed him…

N: Here Big Bo… I'm over here…

B: I have got to talk to Larry about those pain pills!

Bo found the condoms on the counter in the kitchen. When he turned around he ran into Nora and grabbed her to keep her from falling.

N: Oohhh …I like this better. But it's cold in here… can't we go back where the fire is?
Bo took her hand and walked her back to the couch. She pushed him down on the couch and climbed back on to his lap.

B: are you sure you don't want to sleep?

N: Do I look like I want to sleep?

B: Larry is gonna kill me.

N: Bo… are you and Big Bo having an affair with Larry.. it's ok.. you can tell me…

Bo looked at her so seriously she stopped grinning.

B: You are absolutely the love of my life…

N: Well that's good. I was getting worried there for a minute. I don't remember Big Bo playing hard to get…

B: Never worry about that, ok?

N: ok

B: I mean it... I don't care what Sam says or Melanie or Lindsay or anyone.

N: Ok

B: I've done a lot of stupid things and made a lot of stupid mistakes and I don't intend on repeating them.

Nora started to cry

N: Promise?

B: Absolutely…. Do you want to talk about what Sam and you talked about?

N: No.. it's too scary.

B: How can you be scared when you're in my arms? I must not be holding you close enough.

He pulled her closer.

N: This feels good…. Bo

B: Yes?

N: You had a funny look on your face when you were looking at me

B: What do you mean?

N: When you finished making the fire and turned around

B: Oh... um... it's just…

N: Am I that ugly?

B: Oh my god no.

N: My bruises are ugly

B: No… It's just that it's hard for me to see you so bruised. I know you're in pain and I want to make it go away. I hate the idea that someone touched your breast so tightly that they bruised you… makes me a little crazy any time someone touches your breast frankly. That's all. I just want to make you feel good. I'm sorry… I didn't mean …

N: It's ok. Even the nurses look at me funny… I guess it's not normal to bruise like that.

B: Yes it is. I asked Larry. He said that you have such fair skin that it just looks worse than others… He said it would go away… Does it hurt when I touch you like this?

Bo brushed his finger tips over her left breast... She gasped .

N: No.. it feels nice…

B: How about this

He kissed her breast

N: No

B: How about this

He held her nipple in his mouth for a long moment…

N: Um… I don't know… could you do that again so I could see?

B: You mean, like a test run?

N: Yeah…

He played with her breasts for a long time. She just leaned against him and closed her eyes, intent on what he was doing… finally she couldn't stand it any longer…

N: Bo…

B: yes?

N: Um… could you stop that for a moment?

B: You want me to stop?

N: Just for like a second or two…

B: Ok.. now what

N: It's just…. Can I have you inside of me? Now please…

B: Well… I'll have to ask Big Bo….

He reached for the condom but Nora took it out of his hand.

N: Don't you want me to do it?

B: Um… how about we try that when you're sober…

He put on the condom and Nora climbed back on top of him.

N: I like it like this… much better than lying down…

B: You do? Well, that's good to know… I'll file that little piece of information away for future reference… um… this feels pretty good…

Nora kissed him passionately..

N: You make me feel so good. Please don't stop

B: Don't you worry about that…

She closed her eyes and arched her back…. Bo just watched her move as the pain and tension slowly left her face…

 

B (quietly) : God you are so beautiful… I can't believe how beautiful you are…

He rocked her back and forth gently until she came… She fell asleep still on his lap. Bo just held her all night.
********************************************
Bo jumped. He opened his eyes and realized it was morning. The last thing he wanted was for Larry to find them like this. He slid off the couch with Nora in his arms and carried her upstairs to put some clothes on. Just as he was buttoning her nightgown Matthew came in.

M: Daddy… you're naked! So's mommy!

 

Bo turned around

B: Ssshhh Mommy's asleep

M: Did she fall asleep before her bath time?

B: Yup …that's exactly what happened… come on.. You wanna take a shower with me? I'll wash your hair and you can wash mine.

M: Ok

Bo managed to get Matthew in and out of the shower without waking Nora. They tiptoed downstairs and Bo thought he was home free.

Just as someone knocked at the door, Matthew held up the bright blue condom wrapper

M: What's this daddy?

B: Nothing… give me that. He stashed the wrapper in the desk drawer and went in to the kitchen to put the box away.

Rachel got tired of waiting and walked in just as Bo was closing the kitchen cabinets.
