Down the road... part 15

The hospital

The police were everywhere. Bo went to check on RJ. Nora found Rachel off in a corner with a police woman and sent the cop away. She sat Rachel down to find out what had happened. It seemed Hank had neglected to mention something over the phone

N: They what?

R: They came after me too. Said I knew too much.

N: Oh my god. Did they hurt you?

R: Mom, I'm ok. It's Uncle RJ

N: Your uncle can take care of himself.

Len and Selma rushed off the elevator. Nora handed Rachel off to Selma and went looking for Hank.

N: Mr DA, I'd like a word with you.

B: Uh, oh... what did you do?

H: Who, me?

Nora grabbed Hank's arm and led him away from the larger group.

N: Please explain to me why you neglected to mention that these creeps were also after my daughter

H: Our daughter

N: Oh, so you remembered I was part of the equation?

H: Nora, listen

N: I am... cough it up

H: I just didn't want to worry you. The last thing you need

N: The last thing I need? Who the hell are you to tell me about 'the last thing I need'?

Bo and Len looked at each other.

B: Glad it's not me, whatever it is.

L: If it's Hank, it much be about Rachel. She's pretty steamed. Oh well.. Hank can take it.

N: Don't you ever, EVER keep anything from me concerning OUR daughter again. Do you understand me? You have NO RIGHT.

H: Nora calm down

N: DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!

B: Someone better get over there

L: Don't look at me. What did he do anyway?

B: Don't know. Where's Selma?

L: with Rachel.

B: Damn… Ok

Bo walked slowly over to where Hank and Nora were 'talking'. Hank had his head down and Nora was pointing her finger into his chest with each successive word. Bo took a deep breath and strode over.

B: So… wanna share?

H: Hey... Bo

N: Did you know about this?

B: Um

N: Did Hank tell you on the phone that Rachel was involved? That they were after her too? Because if he did

B: What?

N: Did you keep that from me? Because if you did

H: Nora, I didn't tell Bo either. It's all my fault, I'm sorry… I'm worried about you…. That's all

B: Brilliant defense counselor

N: I am SOOO mad at you Hank! You keep telling me that people need me, that Rachel needs me and I have to fight as hard as I can to get better and we have to stick together and then when someone threatens MY little girl you CONVENIENTLY forget to tell me?! YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF ME. YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF DECIDING WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT HANDLE! YOU DON'T GET TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT I DON'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER.

H: Ok, I get it

B: I think Andrew would say the old Nora is back - at least for a visit.

N: You be quiet!

B: Nora, please… Larry's gonna kill us both

N: Well, it'll save me the effort

Nora stalked off and went back to Rachel who was sitting with Selma. The police woman was back.

B: Whoa..

H: Guess she's feeling better

B: Actually, No. Man, what made you think you could get away with that?

H (laughing): Pretty stupid, huh?

Larry strode up

Larry: Bo, what's going on here? I could hear Nora all the way down the hall

B: I didn't do it

H: It was my fault.

Larry: Ok, listen. Are you two unclear on the concept that Nora needs as much rest as possible?

H: Larry, I suggest you travel over there and try and explain that to her. I'd like to keep what's left of my head.

Larry: Bo, how much longer do you have to be here?

B: Not much, why?

Larry: Take her home or I am going to admit her.

B: Larry…

Larry: You heard me.

B: all right… but, hey how is RJ?

Larry: He's still in surgery. These guys, whoever they were, knew just what to do but I think we got to him in time. I sent Rae home. How's Rachel?

H: She's tough, but scared.

Larry: Maybe she could stay with Nora tonight

B: Ok, I'll go tell Nora that you want Rachel to get out of here, maybe that will work.

Larry: I mean it Bo. If she's still here in 5 minutes, I'm admitting her.

Larry turned and walked away.

H (to Larry's back): I'd like to see you try, Big guy!

Bo and Hank laughed and walked over to the women.

B: Hi Rachel, how are you doing?

R: Ok

B: Larry just suggested that we need to get you out of here. Would you like to stay with your mom tonight?

R: Afraid she's gonna yell at you too?

B (grinning): Nope, I'm not guilty.

R: Ok… if it's ok I mean. (Looking at the police woman)

PW: I think I've gotten all I need right now.

B: Well, you know where she'll be.

H: Great. I'll walk y'all out

Hank noticed Selma looking at him and shaking her head

H: What?

S: "What" is right? What were you thinking?

R: Ok… I think enough people have yelled at Daddy tonight. Let's go.

N: We can table this til tomorrow. Come on
***********************************************************************.
Bo's House
Rachel, Nora and Bo wandered in. Asa was sitting on the couch reading the paper.

A: So, how is he?

B: Larry thinks he'll be ok

N: Did Matthew give you any problems?

A: Never

B: Great... thanks Pa.

A: You call if you need anything, ok?

He kissed Nora and Rachel and left.

R: So, um… where might I be sleeping? I notice there's only one extra room…. Is it
extra?

B: Well, I would be happy to, um… make room…

N (laughing): I have my own room Sweetie, if that's what you're asking. You can sleep with me

B: oh well…

R: Sorry Bo… I tried!

B: Hey, no problem, honey. We just want you to get some rest… don't keep your mom up too late though, ok? I always seem to get in trouble for that one!

R: Yeah, Larry looked pretty mad tonight.

B: Yeah, but not mad enough to take on your mom!

N (hugging Rachel): I swear, I don't know what your father was thinking!

They all went up to bed.
***********************************************************************.
Next morning….

Bo and Nora were dozing on the couch just inside the back door. Nora stirred and watched Bo sleep for a while.
She started caressing his chest

N: Bo?

B: hmmm?

N: Are you awake?

B: Huh?

Bo stirred and pulled her closer trying to settle down to sleep again

N: Bo…

B: Ok, I'm awake…… what's up?

N: Nothing

B: Nothing? So, can I go back to sleep?

N: Can I ask you something?

B: Well, since I'm awake

N: It's not that big of a deal

B: Oh

N: Um… you know the other night… when we were talking about sex?

B (beginning to wake up): Uh, yeah… you ok?

N: I'm ok. I was just wondering… you said something

B: What?

N: Well, you almost said something

B: Could you do something for me?

N: What?

B: Take me out back and shoot me now. Whatever this is, I'm gonna get in trouble here

N (smiling): so what was it you were going to say?

B: Help me out

N: You said… when I said that I was wondering… I mean

B: You were concerned that we are having too much sex in a bed… or something like that

N: Hey

B: Well?

N: And you started to say something like.. are you kidding? Every guy I know… and then you stopped

B: Oh yeah, now I remember

N: So what is it that every guy you know … something that has to do with our sex life? Such as it is…

B: Oh, you know…. I was just thinking that I notice the stares you get when you walk by… I'm mean you have quite a body and a smile that lights up the whole world.

Nora knuckled him in his side

N: Try again Officer

B (laughing): Ok… let' see

N: What exactly do you tell your friends about us?

B: Who says I have to tell anyone anything?

N: What do you mean?

B: Well… people often tripped over us in various stages of …um…

N: Yeah…. So what? Lots of people duck behind doors to steal a kiss or two.

B: True… many of them keep their clothes on when they do so.

N: Yes

B: Well, we don't … often… I mean…. Sometimes

N: So I'm a slut?

B: This is not going well… no… I'm just the luckiest guy in the world. You know, not a lot of people have what we have

N: Bo, I know you love me. I want to know what you say about us to your friends

B: Well, what do you talk about with your friends?

N: I don't remember my friends, remember?

B: Oh… It's not that I talk about you, I mean I would never do that. Some things aren't done, it's disrespectful… and rude and I love you too much to do that

N: But

B: At the same time…. It's hard not to notice when the Boss' wife comes into his office, closes all the blinds and turns off the phone. He leaves an hour later with the biggest grin on his face anyone has ever seen in their entire life.

N: So, I'm a slut and you're some sort of stud, or something. Typical

B: I love you… I love making love to you anywhere, anytime. .. and I love that you're perhaps more adventurous than most… That's all

N: All right… Thank you…. Sounds like a pretty serious reputation I am going to have to live up to.

B: I think you're up to it.

Nora knuckled him in the side again.

B: Hey… Just for that….
***********************************************************************.
Couple of days later it's Friday morning…Nora is still tired but feeling better other wise. RJ is out of danger and recovering well. Hank is still getting teased at work… (Mr. DA Sir - … Yes officer….. Sir…just EXACTLY what were you thinking, Sir?). Rachel is staying with Selma and Len at the Palace, Matthew and Nigel are back to their regular afternoon cooking lessons (What else can we make with chocolate Uncle Nigel?)

Bo's House
Nora is getting Matt ready for school. Bo's setting the table for breakfast and enjoying the sounds coming from upstairs. They sat down to breakfast

B: Hey, what do you think about taking Pa and Renee up on their offer of the beach house for the weekend?

M: Yippee…

N: Well, that's one vote

B: How do you feel about it?

N: You know, I was really looking forward to a relaxing weekend of doing nothing… I guess I could do nothing at the beach

M: Yeah…

Matthew ran upstairs

N: Hey, where are you going?

M: To get my bathing suit

N: You are going to school first, bucko. Back down here

M: Awww… ok

Bo got Matthew out the door and down to the bus stop. Nora was already napping when he got back so he cleaned up the dishes and called into the station. He finished the call and hung up. When he turned back around Nora's eyes were open and she had a big smile on her face.

B: Hey, sleepy head… What's the smile about?

N: Oh nothing

B: Nothing? Darn

N: It's just… you're awfully cute, you know.

B: Well, that's true

Nora threw a couch cushion at him

N: Mr. Conceited Police commissioner.

Bo brought the cushion over to the couch and gently put it back behind her head. He smiled back and kissed her

B: Glad to see you finally noticed.

N: Do you have to go into the station right now?

B: Nope, why?

N: Wanna take a nap with me?

B: Best offer I've gotten all day.

Bo crawled under the blanket and Nora fell asleep. Bo just lay there trying to remember when he had ever felt so good.

Nora woke a couple of hours later. Bo made sure she had a snack and took off for the station.
***********************************************************************.
The Station

Bo strode into the station lost in the clouds… He was trying to remember if Nora had a bathing suit…

B: Sophia?

S: Yes sir

B: Where can I buy a bikini this time of year?

S: Sir?

B: Oh.. sorry... never mind. I'll call Renee

S: That's ok sir. This time of year you might have to try a sporting goods store

B: OK, thanks
****************************************************.
Tom's sporting goods…

Tom recognized Bo and walked up

T: Morning Commissioner.. what can I do for you?

B: I need a bikini… do you have any of those string things?

T: Well, I'll see what I have left… although I'm not sure I have your size…

B: Funny… it's for Nora

T: I figured…

Tom came back out with 5 different ones... Bo picked out two and had them sent over to the house with no note

T: No note?

B: Nope… just take off the price tags and stuff… you know..

T: No problem. Have a nice weekend..
*********************************************************************.
Bo's

Nora answered the door but there was no one there. Then she noticed the package on the ground.

N: Uh oh, what's this?

She brought it inside and opened it up

N: Oh my god… I don't think I've ever seen anything so little in my life!

She picked up the phone

B: Buchanan

N: Hi

B: Hi

N: Thank you

B: For what?

N: Oh… I thought it was you… I guess I'll hang up and call Joe

B: Hey… Is Joe still sending you things?

N: Well, if it wasn't you it must be Joe…. I'll just give him a call.

B (laughing): ok, they're from me.

N: Aren't these a little skimpy?

B: Um… actually… well, I've never tried one on so I didn't know what to get

N: Liar… which one do you like better?

B: Depends

N: On what?

B: On or off?

N: Funny

Nora hung up on him.
***********************************************************************.
Renee called and offered to give Nora a lift out to the beach house. Bo agreed to pick up Matthew and follow later.

Renee's Car

Renee: so how are things going between you two?

N: Ok, I think. We're trying to take it one day at a time.

R: Sounds sensible with all you're dealing with

N: I just hope it's enough for Bo.

R: What do you mean?

N: He seems to want to rush ahead so quickly. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed. I don't want him to

R: to what?

N: I don't know… think I don't want to be with him or…

R: Bo loves you honey…

N: I know. He seems so afraid of the cancer, you know?

R: Well we all are… aren't you?

N: I don't know. It seems to big… I don't really think of it in terms of actually being able to deal with it. Mostly I just think about getting through the day ahead… we took care of the legal end of things in terms of Matthew and Rachel. I have a brand new will and everything

R: That's scary

N: Yeah… I just left everything to the two of them. With Bo and I not being married I didn't want there to be any problems down the road. I talked to Hank about putting money aside in case Rachel ever wants to try college again… that was pretty much it.

R: That's a lot

N: That's my only bout of 'dealing with it'.

R: How are the treatments going?

N: Pretty brutal. But Larry said we might get some news on whether or not this is working in a week or so…

R: How many more do you have scheduled?

N: 3 more. I keep thinking I should just go through with it and then have Larry do the tests

R: But if they need to change something, wouldn't it be better to know that earlier rather than later?

N: Yes. I know…

R: Are you ok?

N: Yeah. It's just… these headaches, they never seem to go away. Mostly I try to ignore it

R: How are your eyes?

N: Well, my eyesight is definitely getting worse. Bo has to clean up after Matthew plays so I don't trip on things

R: Honey… I had no idea.

N: It's ok. I can still see, I just have to pay more attention. Larry made me an appointment with yet another doctor next week to check on whether or not the changes indicate permanent damage

R: Oh lovely, another doctor.

N: Exactly

R: Well, we can straighten up the furniture in the beach house so you can get around more easily.

N: Thanks Renee.

R: Hey, we're here

N: … I can't wait to go for a walk in the sand!
***********************************************************************.
The Beach House

Bo and Nora had invited everyone out for a late summer barbecue… Hank arrived early, knowing full well Nora was gonna spend the first part of the evening having it at him for not telling her about Rachel being in danger. Bo was out with Matthew playing in the ocean when Hank walked up. Nora was sitting on the steps of the back patio watching them play. Hank waved. Bo pulled Matthew back into the ocean (Let's give Mommy and Uncle Hank a little time to talk….)

H: Hi

N: Hi

H: Still talking to me?

N: If you're lucky

Hank sat down on the step next to her.

H: I'm sorry

N: Thank you

H: I guess my instincts aren't always right

N: Hank, I trust your instincts… always have. But you can't protect me from being sick. And not knowing what's going on when something is wrong with Rachel does not help at all

H: What do you mean?

Nora didn't say anything for a long moment

N: Look… maybe I'm dying

Hank stirred

N: No.. listen to me… I have to say it... maybe I'm dying. Maybe the cancer is going to win and I am going to lose.

H: Please don't say that

N: It's the truth. And if it's the truth then part of what I have to face is leaving her and Matthew. It's different with you and Bo and everyone else. Rachel will always be my baby and I might not have much time with her.

H: I know

N: When you made that decision to not tell me what happened… it was like you were already taking over, somehow

H: Taking over?

N: Yeah… you know, she only has one parent now… you have to be both of her parents Hank put his arms around her and pulled her close to him.

H: No… No, No, No. That is not what I was thinking. No... I just… you're tired and it was already over so I figured Bo could tell you when he got home. At least that way, when you saw Rachel it wouldn't be so crazy. No... I am not trying to take your place or to brace her for that or anything like that…

N: are you sure?

Long pause

H: Well… no

N: Ok…. So I'm not the only one here trying to face reality

H: I'm sorry

N: Please don't be. It's a lot easier if I can be honest with you

H: I want you to be honest with me… not just about Rachel

N: Me too. I'm sorry I yelled at you like that… in front of all those people

H (laughing):Hey, it's ok. I deserved it.

Matthew was getting cold and wanted to go in. Bo looked up toward the house.

B: Well, it looks a little better up there… maybe the coast is clear.

They walked up

M: Hi Uncle Hank… did Mommy yell at you again?

H (laughing): Well, just a little

M: Didn't you clean up your room?

H: You know, I never seem to remember that one.

M: Me neither… wanna' come help me? If you come and help me then Mommy can't yell anymore.

H: Ok.. that sounds like a great idea!

M: Let's go

Hank and Matthew went off and Bo sat down.

B: Feeling better?

N: Yes

B: Is Hank feeling better?

Nora laughed

N: I think so.

B: Good…. Why don't we start supper.. people will be coming soon.

N: Can I help?

B: Absolutely. You can sit on the stool and be my inspiration

N: Oh brother!
*********************.
Later….

The dinner guests were arriving and everyone had bathing suits and beach stuff… Nora got up the nerve to put on one of the string bikini's Bo had bought for her. Lisa and Rachel, Asa and Renee, Nigel and Joey, Viki and Ben, Larry and Wife, Carlota and Derek, Rae brought RJ in his wheelchair. There were so many people there no one noticed the extra car across the street. Rachel and Matthew made sure the tables were set and that everyone had plenty of stuff to nibble on. Selma made up with Larry. Joey took the obligatory pictures (everyone wanted their picture taken with Larry's wife). Nora pretty much stayed on the chaise and let Bo and Nigel run everything.

Larry's wife was the hit of the party…. She figured she might as well dress to knock 'em all dead and enjoy herself since she was sure the jokes would be flying fast and furious! She looked pretty amazing in her see through beach cover-up over her bikini.

Asa walked up to her

A: Let me introduce myself... Asa Buchanan

LW: I'm Wife Wolleck… I've heard a lot about you….

A: Well, I hope there was a little something positive sprinkled in occasionally

LW (laughing): Of course. Larry actually speaks quite highly of you… he likes a good fight once in awhile

S: Damn - I knew it!

Asa: So what do you do?

LW: Rocket scientist.

A: Really?

LW: Yes, I work for NASA

A: How come Larry never talks about you?

LW: Ever heard that Song Bonnie Raitt does with Sippy Wallace "Women - Be Wise" ? She sang a little…. "Don't advertise your man…" Well, it goes 2 ways Asa…

A (laughing): Geez, who would have ever thought!

Larry walked up

A: Larry, you've been holding out on us bigtime!

L: Yeah… Here all this time you thought I was a big loser!

Larry's wife laughed and wandered away.

A: You got one hell of a filly there… that's for sure!

L: Don't I know it!

Asa strolled over to where Nora was sitting and sat down next to her

A: Hi Honey… nice bathing suit

N (rolling her eyes): Hi Asa

A: How are you feeling?

N: Fine

A: Liar

N: Asa do you know you are about the 300th person to ask me that today?

A: Well, I'm the only father-in-law asking

N: You aren't my father-in-law

A: Might as well be. And don't lie to me. Renee told me about those headaches. You're damn good at hiding what's going on.

N: Hey, I'm good at something

A: Best damn wife my son's ever had… and that grandson… well, he almost looks exactly like me. What's more important than that?

N (laughing): You're a nut

A: I like seeing you laugh. Seriously, You need anything, you ask. If you don't like that new doctor Larry set you up with, just let me know. I'll find you another one.

N: Asa, I know that. There just isn't that much anyone can do. Matthew is really enjoying getting to spend time with you and Renee and Uncle Nigel! That's a huge help for both Bo and me. That's all I need right now.

A: Well you know Uncle Nigel is thrilled to death! Who knew he'd be so great with kids!

N: Yeah, and our kitchen ceiling is getting cleaned so often we're going to have to repaint soon

A: "Our"?

N: Asa… don't

A (laughing): Busted

Nora smacked him

N: Out… get out of here!

Asa left laughing. Bo sat down

B: What was that all about!

N: Nothing

Asa snuck up behind them

A: She called your house "Ours"… "Not my father-in-law" my foot!

B: Is this true?

N: No

A: No?

N: Well, not technically

A: Liar

N: am not

A: Are too

N: am not

A: are too

B: Hey….

Asa got up again laughing…

A: Renee.. Where is that woman! Renee… You will never guess what Nora said! Renee, where are you?!

Bo turned to Nora

B: So, what exactly did you say

N: Oh please

She got up to go, Bo grabbed her hand and pulled her back down

B: Must have been a doozie

N: It was actually nothing

B: What was?

N: We were just talking about Nigel and Matthew's cooking lessons and I made the comment that our kitchen ceiling has been washed so many times

B: "our"?

N: Oh please… not you too!

B: Hey, a guy has to take what he can get!

N: Well, I am living there

B: You also still have the suite at The Palace…. He says hopefully

N (smiling): That's true

B: I am trying so hard to restrain myself here

N: You would like me to let go of it

B: Well, this is your decision… none of my business at all… I have absolutely no thoughts one way or another

N: Oh my god… you are so bad

B: Whatever you like… I support you all the way

N: You are impossible

B: Cute though

N: How are you at packing?

B: We'll have your stuff out of there so fast your head'll spin!

N: It's not like there's much there

B: Hey… why don't we celebrate with something healthy. I think Nigel was working on a vegetarian hamburger with chocolate in it.

N: Bo, we need to start paying more attention to what Matthew is eating!
******************************************************.
Beach House
Later that night

Everyone was gone and Bo was cleaning up. Matthew had gone back to the Palace with Len and Selma deciding it would be more fun to play with his grandparents than watch his mother sleep all day. Bo was secretly glad hoping Nora would rest more. Nora sitting on the back patio watching the ocean.

Bo finished cleaning up and went out to find Nora. It was a very warm evening and she still had the bikini on. He just stood and looked at her. She stirred

N: Hi

B: Hey beautiful … Nice outfit

N: Well thank you.

B: No thank you!

N: So is everything cleaned up?

Bo sat down behind her and put his arms around her

B: Yup

N: Thank you

B: My pleasure.

Nora turned around and kissed him. Bo slid his hands around her waist and down her thighs…. Nora moaned.

B: Hey, how about a walk? It's beautiful out

N: I'd love that

They walked for awhile then sat down on a dune.

B (tracing his finger along her bikini top): I love these things

N: Oh really?

B: They're so easy to figure out.

N: Well that's true… They are pretty uncomplicated

B: It looks like you tied a double knot up here. Damn

N: Well there were a lot of people here tonight

B (untying the knot behind her neck): Not anymore

N: Hey

B (slipping her top over her head): Here we go

Bo kissed her passionately while massaging her breasts. She lay back in the sand and let him look at her.

B: God you are amazing

N: You make me feel amazing

Nora sat up and undid his shirt and pants.

N: Off with these mister

B: Oh ok… if you insist

Nora gathered up his clothes and threw them over her head. Bo pushed her back down in the sand and brought her feet up to his mouth and started kissing and licking her toes.
Nora moaned

N: Oh my god Bo…

He pulled her gently toward him

B: No fair, counselor… you still have your clothes on

N: Bo don't stop

B: Oh don't worry about that.

He knelt down and started licking his way up her legs… first one, then the other. His hands made their way up her thighs and slid into her bikini bottom, massaging her. His fingers slid inside of her.

B: I love how you feel inside… so warm and slippery

Nora moaned and stretched toward his hands, straining for more. Bo pulled out the knot in her bikini with his teeth and flipped it over his head.

N: Oh my god Bo... oh …please don't stop…oh…

B: I'm just getting warmed up here…

He slowly licked and sucked on her labia until she thought she couldn't take it anymore all the while pleading with him to not stop.

B: You taste incredible… a little salty though… must be the sea water…

He slid his one hand slowly up her body and his mouth came to a stop over her right breast. Taking her nipple in his mouth, he massaged it with his tongue in concert with his fingers moving inside of her. When he came up for air Nora pushed him back and straddled him. She started to play with his penis until he started to moan, then she slid down his legs and took his penis in her mouth. Bo continued moaning for quite awhile. He didn't even notice the occasional wave making it up to his head. Finally he couldn't stand it anymore

B: Hey

N: Are you trying to make conversation? Cause I kinda need my mouth here

B: Oh don't I know it… Come on up here… I'm not sure how much restraint I have left

She sat up and climbed on top of him

N: Uwwww… I like this part

B: Me too. I love being inside of you… moving inside of you…

N: You like watching

B: I love watching

Nora leaned back a bit so he could see better and moved her hips in concert with him.

B: Oh my god... you are my fantasy…

After they had both come they held each other for awhile as the waves slowly moved up the beach.

N: Bo

B: What?

N: Did you hear that?

B: What

N: Voices

They listened

B: Oops

N (looking around): Where are our clothes

B: You threw them somewhere

N: Bo… what are we going to do?

The voices were definitely getting closer

B: Sshhh…. Listen… they sound drunk

N: Oh, so maybe they won't remember us in the morning

B: Ssshhh… lets' slide slowly into the water and we'll walk back. They won't even notice us. We just won't go deep enough to get the sea water near your catheter.

N: Ok

Bo half swam, half carried her back to the beach house but the voices didn't fade. Whoever it was, was having a long walk on the beach.

N: Bo, how are we going to get inside?

B: Ssshhh… we'll just make a run for it

N: What' s the point of hiding all the way back only to get caught

B: Well, do you have an idea?

N: Kiss me

They stayed in the water until the group made their way past the house and were down the beach and around the next corner. Then they walked up to the porch. Bo grabbed a towel off the chaise and wrapped it around her. He turned back to go into the house for a second towel and froze.

N: Bo... what is it?

B: Stay where you are

N: Bo

B: Ssshhhh… someone's been here

N: What do you mean? We had a whole bunch of people here

B: Someone has gone through the house... looking for something
