Jack was sitting at their fire watching Nova, the firelight made her look even more lovely. He scooted

closer to her hoping that she wouldn‘t get alarmed. He just couldn‘t help it, he needed to be close to

her.

When she looked at him so close to her he expected rejection, instead, there was warmth in her eyes.

Perhaps she is as affected as he was. Maybe he should risk just a little bit more. He reached around

and pulled her into his side. She at first stiffened up and he thought he crossed a line.

She settled down though and snuggled closer. He smiled. Go slow Jack, go slow. Her scent though

was driving him crazy. Nova wasn‘t sure what she was feeling at the moment. She knew she just met

this guy under less than normal circumstances, but at the same time, she was so attracted to him. He

smelled wonderful.

He seemed to be unsure as well because he keeps making little moves and then pulling back. Then

repeats them like he was testing the fences.

She was a little new to this but she doubted he was, perhaps it was their circumstances that were

causing the trouble.

She didn‘t want him to think she was easy or a slut. She saw enough slut stuff working at the motel.

Cabin 1 was just for that very thing, it was the only cabin you could rent for an hour. They had a regular

there, they called

her easy elly. They didn‘t know her real name, only what the men she brings there call her. They

thought she was a prostitute but they found out later that she was giving it away for free.

With all this running around in her mind plus all the shit from the last couple of days, heck if she was

honest with herself, the last couple of years.

She wanted more than anything to kiss him, she just wanted him to be the one to start. She wanted to

know that he at least liked her before she started anything. That and she was afraid her lack of

experience would turn him off.

Still, now that he had his arm around her, she started to think that he felt the same way she did after

all.

Nova turned her head to look up at him, he was a handsome devil like something from the cover of a

romance novel. Long sandy blond hair, those eyes like the sky in the morning. She could get lost in

those.

He was staring back at her, he moved his face closer to hers with a little smirk on his lips. The next

thing she knew was he was kissing her. At first, it was light kinda tentative then his tongue found its

way inside her mouth and he was exploring. O

She started to feel like she was getting hot and tingles went all over her body and settled in her center.

She moaned and he increased the intensity of the kiss. His arms were around her, she wasn‘t sure how

but she was now sitting in his lap.

He stopped suddenly and pulled away, picked her up, and set her back down on the log they were

sitting on. She was confused, he didn‘t like kissing her? Had she done something wrong?

Jack looked over at Nova expecting her to be pissed, instead, he could see that she was about to cry.

He ran his hand through his hair and sat back down next to her.

“Don‘t you think for one moment that I didn‘t enjoy that kiss? The truth is I want you bad, if that kiss

would have continued I would have taken your virginity right here in the dirt and I don‘t want that for

your first time.”

“What if I told you I wasn‘t a virgin?”

“Sorry sweetheart but if that kiss didn‘t give you away, all the blushing you were doing earlier did.”

“I will go and set up my sleeping space then, thank you Jack for having me come with you. I am not

sure how things would have turned out if I continued alone.”

“Nova, from the day we met, was the first day, that you would never be alone again.”

With that, she went over to her pack, got out a small sleeping bag, a tarp and a small hand saw. She

went over to the far end of camp, cut some little branches of the old pine tree, she then took the tarp,

and then came back for the sleeping bag.

Once she was inside her little shelter he couldn‘t see her at all, Brutus gave the air a sniff, He couldn‘t

smell her either. She was smart and clever their soul mate.

He wasn‘t going to sleep tonight, he was going to sit by the fire on guard duty then Brutus will take over

just

enc before dawn. Then they are going to gather up all this stuff and get the hell back to his clan.

Agent David practically dragged Kathy to his car and then into cabin three. She didn‘t say a word. That

told him a few possible things, she was so used to abuse that this was a normal thing or she was so

scared that she just shut down.

After locking the door he sat her on one of the chairs in the room. He took a good look at her, he had

seen this stuff before. He is going to have to get her to a more sober state to get some answers, he

can‘t let her get too sober though or she will start going into withdrawals.

What happened to her, this was not the same woman he slept with, and thought that there could be

more. She was hardly anything at all. Pasty looking pale skin, she was skin and bones. Even her hair

was different in the fact that it lacked any kind of luster.

He didn‘t know her so much after all.

He sighed....“Well shit, this is a turn in the road he didn‘t see coming.”

She didn‘t appear to be too aware of him but he knew she was watching him. He watched her right

back, causing the tension in the room to spike to uncomfortable levels.

“What are you doing here David?”

“What am I doing here? I work for the FBI remember? I am here cause I was sent here to investigate all

the missing people.

She went pale at hearing that, could she know something about that? Perhaps her wonderful husband

has had his hands in the cookie jar so to speak.

“Why did you leave Kathy?”

“I left your sorry ass because, after two weeks, I was bored with it. Your high and mighty job made it so

you have to keep up a goody two–shoe image. I was not into that, I wanted to explore and see what

was out there for me.”

“Yes, Kathy, I can see how life turned out for you, what was the matter? Too much fun?”

“That is not true, after I had November I had a lot of fun and men. When she was older I decided that it

was time to settle down. I got married and we have a good life.”

“Oh, you had a daughter with your so wonderful husband, I feel sorry for the poor girl. Didn‘t see her in

the house, was her room, the room with the smashed window?”

“My life is none of your business, I have been happily settled down with my family, I have been married

for 10 years now. My daughter is now nineteen almost twenty and is working at the motel, she will do

well one day. I don‘t see that any of this is your business.”

He stared at her, did he hear what he thought he heard.

“Who is your daughter‘s father Kat?”

“That is not your concern asshole.”

He grabbed her by her hair and held her head up to look at him, I have no intention of hurting you, but

if it is the only language you understand then so be it. end sys To “Is she, my daughter?”

“It is not like you can take her away from me now anyway, the little bitch ran off. That is where my

husband is right now chasing her down.”

He tugged her hair again, this time she winced.

“IS SHE MY DAUGHTER?”

“YES, DAMN YOU SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER!”

He let her go and went back to his seat. He was dumbstruck, he had a daughter. Suddenly that empty

feeling he always had was gone. Oh, my god I am a father.

“Why did you keep her from me, you know I would have helped with whatever you needed. Money,

schooling everything. Why?”

“Why?”

“David I wanted to keep her for myself, if you found out you could have taken her from me. As it turned

out she was very useful to me. It even landed me my husband.”

“What? She was useful to you, can you hear yourself talk you selfish bitch?”

something with the vibes or whatever coming off Kathy though that was making him pissed off.

In a very low and quiet voice, he asked.....

“Kathy, did you abuse or let others abuse my daughter?”

“Your daughter? How the hell is she “Your daughter? How the hell is she your daughter? You didn‘t

even know who she was till just now.”

“I said she was my daughter, you terrible woman, because from the way it sounds, she was never

yours. The way you talk, she is some sort of tool you use.”
