My coach said that I ran like a girl. I said that if he tried a little harder, he could too. – Mia HammJust before the swim team loaded on the bus, Coach Jenkins pulled JD off to the side as all the bags were loaded up.“First, I’m loving the new threads.”He opened his jacket and struck a GQ pose for her.“Excellent. After your stint in the Navy, you can be an underwear model.” JD laughed. “Yeah, Calvin Klein will be knocking down my door.”Coach laughed. “Is your girl going?”“Yeah, she’s riding up with her uncle and my mom.”She nodded. “We were already registered, and she didn't have time to qualify by the time she transferred.”“I know.” JD smiled at her. “She’ll tell you that she’s not ready to compete again yet.”“And she has.” The coach agreed as the team began to load up. “You three seniors are together one last time. Try to keep Craig out of trouble.”Shaking his head, JD laughed at her. “I don’t think anyone can keep Craig out

If there’s heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached to it. – Jimmy BuffettIt was the last day in Hawaii and Jolene stood on the private beach watching the sun go down. Neo stood off to the side, giving her the space that she had asked for. As always, the guards stood discreetly out of the way. After the kidnapping incident, he was not taking any chances. Reese had the same mindset and cancelled the airplane tickets and chartered a plane. The hotel had been changed and they were staying at a private bungalow. Neo did not want to know how much his friend had paid to get this on short notice during spring break.Knowing Reese, he probably bought the house.And did not have to spend way too much time and money getting it livable. Not that he regretted buying the old mansion. With the plans that he had; his three locations would soon become one. The house was almost done and the foundation for the garage and parking area was being laid down while they were gone.

I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be. – Robert N. MunschJaxon was confused over the group message that he got from Pax. Company meeting. Need everyone here. Saturday 4And then the following one that came only to him.Sorry about the short notice. Hope the vacay was good. PVacay? When did Pax start saying vacay? You leave for a few days and the whole world turns upside down. Okay, so it was almost a week. But still.The week away was great. He had never seen his family be so happy before. Helen was practically glowing after a week in Hawaii. Jolene hadn’t seemed so relaxed in years, even with the guards. JD was thrilled to be there with Dean. And he, himself, enjoyed the week with both his partners.Saturdays had become the day that the girls went and did their thing at the nail salon. And the day that Jaxon and Ty had to themselves. Even after flying in yesterday, today was still their day.Curr

Till this moment I never knew myself. – Jane AustenThat same odd feeling followed Jolene around all day as she walked across the campus. The odd feeling of being followed and watched never left her. She had convinced herself that it was because this was her first day back to classes from her vacation. That it was because in the parking lot over there, her eyes cut to the lot behind the science building, she had been drugged and kidnapped.“You okay?” Nichols asked quietly.Jolene nodded as she turned away from the lot and headed towards the language arts building. She heard the soft grunt that the man gave her. They were no longer wearing uniforms as a way of making other students feel more comfortable. And to make Jolene feel a little more normal. They both wore faded jeans and a t-shirt for the college football team. Jolene knew all about the football team. Her mother was such a contradiction. The woman loved all the girly things – pink, dresses, makeup, jewelry,

You can tell a bully from a leader by how they treat people who disagree with them. – Miles K. DavisTylenol.That was the mantra going through Douggie’s mind at this point. Tylenol.The last forty-five minutes of the meeting had to be the longest decade of his life.Tylenol.He usually had some in his desk. But he was not at his office. He could only hope that the city jail infirmary had some Tylenol. Ibuprofen. Acetaminophen. Aspirin.At this point in time, he would take a twenty-pound sledgehammer upside the head. As long as it knocked him out or just completely put him out of his misery.“Douglas?” special agent in charge David MacFarland called out as he followed Douggie down the hall.Douggie let the hand that was rubbing the bridge of his nose, he turned around and plastered his professional smile on his face. “It’s just Douggie.”“Mac.” He held out a hand and Douggie took it.Looking at the special agent in charge, Douggie was pic
