Kris Munroe sat on the sand watching the waves lapping gently in and out along the shore. She dug her feet into the sand as she let the sounds of the waves sooth her. She thought back to the last couple of months and felt an involuntarily shiver run through her. She and Jill had been run off the road, she had been shot, her and her sister along with their friends had been nearly died in a plane crash and Jill was kidnapped. She took in a deep breath and pushed it all away. They were safe. Devane and his organization was dead, though she knew they weren't truly dead. They had cut off the head of the snake but it would be back in some form in another year or two.

Jill sat in the chair beside the bed with little Jake on her knee. She had been at the hospital the last hour seeing how Mike was doing, and to see her new best friend, his son Jake. She was relieved that Mike was now sitting up and able to do a bit more with his son. She had even taken him out of the hospital a couple of times and the three of them had gone to dinner. Jake had explained to Jill that the lady at the hospital visiting a couple of times was his Aunt, Mike little sister. Jill felt a warm tug when he had said those words. She at first thought she was Mike's wife. But over the course of the last few weeks Mike explained his wife was killed in a car accident not long after Jake was born.
"So you're leaving tomorrow?" Mike asked with a hint of sadness in his voice. He had grown accustom to his visit from Jill and he knew his son had as well.
"Yeah. I need to get back before I miss many more races."
"Jill?" Jake looked up at her with his big brown eyes, "When can you come to my school? If you are leaving tomorrow you won't be able to come."
She gave the child a hug as he sat on her lap. "I always come home now and then Jake I promise to stop in my next visit ok?"
"Ok. Do you know when that will be? I tell the guys at school all the time but they don't believe me."
She laughed at his eagerness, "I'm not sure Jake but I promise it will be before school gets out."
Mike watched her with his son. They seemed so natural together, "I'd like to know when you'll be back too." He had grown more fond of this woman then he ever thought he would feel again and he hoped she felt the same.
Jill looked at him before reaching out her hand and took his into hers. "Three months, maybe four." She quietly said as she gave him a smile, "Come to the airport tomorrow. I'll have Bosley pick you up and bring you back."
"I'll let you know. I want to Jill but I don't think I can watch you leave."
"I'll be back Mike I promise. Besides once you are getting around a bit more I have a plan" she smiled again but this time he could see something more there.
"You keep saying that but you want tell me what it is."
"That's because it's a surprise." She laughed "Ok I have to go Kelly and Bri are meeting me at the house for a farewell bbq. Call me later about the airport." She lifted Jake off her lap and stood up with him in her arms. "You be good and I'll talk to you later tonight."
"Ok by Jill." He wrapped his arms around her neck before she placed him in the chair she was just sitting in.
As she left the room she turned back to get one more look at Mike before giving him a small wave, "Bye."
Mike gave her a wave back not knowing when he would see her again.

When Jill arrived at home she stood on the balcony to the beach house and watched Kris down on the sand. When she left that morning Kris had been surfing to catch the early morning waves. Now as Jill watched her digging her feet in and out of the sand letting it fall off her feet innocently she could see a time when she nearly lost her. But she pushed that memory away. Her sister was alive and they were all healing in their own ways. The last few months had been hard on all of them, but she felt especially bad for Kris.
She started down the stairs feeling the warm sand on her bare feet, she paused slightly when she came up to Kris, before bending down beside her.
"You thinking of going surfing again or the meaning of life?" Jill asked as she looked at her little sister.
Kris didn't say anything but just held her gaze out to the ocean. She wasn't really sure what she was thinking as it wasn't really any one thing. She leaned over and put her head on Jill's shoulder where Jill instinctively put her arm around her sister.
Jill looked down at Kris, "Rough couple of months." It wasn't a question or even a statement but a matter of truth.
"Yeah." Was all Kris said in return. "How was the visit with Mike?" Kris knew her sister well enough that she knew Jill was starting to have feelings for Mike, and they all knew where Jill stood with Little Jake.
"It was good. He is sitting up more and more everyday. I asked him to come to the airport tomorrow. We'll see." Jill looked out to the waves and then back to her sister, "you know we never really finished our contest."
Kris laughed slightly, "I wiped out remember. I'd say you won that round."
"Not really. You were forced."
"There was also the day at the beach not long after we wrapped this craziness up." Kris added in
"True," Jill replied, "But you weren't on your game that day. After all it wasn't that many weeks after you had your knee surgery."
Kris looked up at Jill and could see the glimmer in her older sisters' eyes. The same glimmer she always got when she was being competitive. "You sure you're up to it?" Kris finally asked but felt her own competitive juices. She was forced to wipe out last time and she wanted a re-do.
Jill pushed herself up from the sand before reaching down and pulled Kris to her feet. "Come on. One last run before I have to go back to Europe."
For a brief moment Kris' smiled faded; knowing that her sister was going to be leaving soon.
Jill drew her sister into a hug knowing in a way she had upset her, "I'll be back bothering you before you know it."
"I just wish you could stay." Kris said as she returned the hug to her sister.
"What? I've been her nearly four months. It was only supposed to be one." Jill countered.
"I know" was all Kris said.
Jill tightened her hug and placed a kiss on the top of Kris' forehead. There really wasn't anything more she could say or do.

Kelly and Sabrina stood on the balcony having arrived not long after Jill went down to the beach. They had seen their friend walking down the stairs towards Kris but let the two sisters have a moment together. They knew this day would be hard on both of them with Jill leaving in the morning.
"This is definitely one case I am glad is over." Kelly remarked as she watched her two friends on the beach.
"Some how I don't think you are alone in that sentiment Kel." Sabrina agreed.
There was an uneasy silence between the two friends until Kelly finally spoke, "So Jill leaves tomorrow."
"I know." Was all Sabrina said in return. It had been nice having her friend around as long as they did. Though she wished it was under more pleasant circumstances.
There was once again that uneasy silence this time broken by Sabrina, "Maybe we should come over tomorrow night. Be here for Kris."
"Might be a good idea." Kelly agreed.
The whole conversation seemed short and the whole time they both watched Kris and Jill on the beach before they made their way towards the surf.
The two Angels sat on the balcony and watched the two sisters cut across wave after wave. In the end Jill took a major wipe out and Kris sat on her board laughing at her as Jill came to the surface and hung on to her board. Even from that distance they could see the playful smile on both of their faces as Jill splashed water up at her sister.
Kris laughed at her sister again as the tow of them walked through the water towards the beach.
"What did you do anyway?" Kris asked as she lifted her board from the water
"I have no idea. Next time we do anything like this it's on a skateboard."
Kris leaned over and put her arm around her older sister as they walked up the sand, "You can skateboard circles around me but you can't on the surf. I will never understand that."
Jill playfully smacked her sister as they walked through the sand though Jill noticed one thing that it seemed to her Kris was trying to hide, "Are you limping?"
Kris stopped and looked at Jill, "No."
Jill stopped and looked at her sister with one eyebrow slightly raised almost daring her to lie to her again.
Kris saw the look on her sisters' face and knew it all to well from years growing up together, "Ok maybe a little. It's just a little sore is all."
"Well no surfing for you for a little while." Jill said as she put her arm around her sisters' waist and they continued their walk to the beach house
"Oh and how will you even know?" Kris replied with cheek.
Jill looked from her sister and then up to the balcony where Kelly and Sabrina were standing, "Oh I'll know."
Kris looked at Jill at first confused then followed her gaze and knew what she meant.
