Chapter one.
Ashlynn and her best friend Hannah just moved to Hawaii from Alabama. On their 3rd day in Hawaii they went job hunting. Just for the fun of it they went into Da-Kine Bail Bonds. When they opened the door there was a guy sitting at a desk

"Hi, im Tim is there something i can help you two with?"

"Hi, im Ashlynn and this is my best friend Hannah, and we were looking for a job"

"ok, hold on" he gets on the speaker

"hey Duane"

"yea Tim"

"there are a couple of girls here lookin for a job"

"ok send them in"

"ok, go through there"

"ok thanks" they start walking through the door. They saw a pretty blonde woman, and a guy sitting behind the desk

"are you the girls lookin for a job?"

"yea um im Ashlynn and this is my best friend Hannah"

"Im Duane "DOG" Chapman, this is my wife Beth, my brother Tim up front" Duane Lee and Leland just got back from booking a guy

"and these two are my son's Duane Lee and Leland" the guys looked at the girls.

"Boys this is Ashlynn and Hannah."

"So where are you two from?" "Alabama" Leland liked Ashlynn's accent, he thinks it's cute. After Dog asked them questions about their qualifactions for the job and he liked what he heard "ok you girls start tomorrow morning"

They go home to get some sleep Ashlynn sets the alarm clock to 8:00 a.m.
" I think that Leland's kind of cute"

"Ash your weird"

"what he is." They go to sleep but Ashlynn's having trouble sleeping because she's excited about tomorrow and she finally falls asleep. 8:00 a.m. finally comes they get up and takes showers and get ready. Ashlynn puts on jeans and a alabama t-shirt and Hannah puts on jeans and a tank top. They arrive at Da-Kine at 8:30. They walk in and Beth introduces them to Lyssa and the 3 girls get started on some files. Then the team gets to work

"Youngblood whats the guys name?"

"it's John Martin" Dog starts writing on the board.

"Leland pull up his file" Leland gets on his computer and pulls up the guy's file

"he's wanted for theft in the 2nd degree and drugs in the 3rd degree"

"ok let's call the co-signer" The co-signer tells them where he's at.

"were gonna need a decoy" they thought about using Lyssa but she's been seen before, so they decided to use Ashlynn and Hannah. So Beth get's the girls fixed up in short skirts and low cut tank tops. "everyone else suit up" they pull up to the guy's house and the girls look at his picture one more time.
They go to the door while dog, Tim, Leland and Duane Lee hide behind the suv. They knock and the door opens and a guy answers the door and Ashlynn asks

"can you help us see if we have a flat tire?" she tries to sound flirtaious as she could and he seemed to buy it because he eargly accepted. As soon as they got by the guys come out and arrest the guy.

"Nice job girls" Dog tells them.

"thanks" they say.

When they get back to the office the girls changed back into the clothes they wore earlier. Ashlynn sat down on the couch and took out her cell phone to see if she had any missed calls. She had 2 one from her mom and the other one was from her dad.
Leland comes and sits down next to her and they start talking. He likes to hear her southern accent, so he'll start up a conversation with her as much as he can. Later on that night Lyssa calls them wanting to know if they wanted to go to the club with her, Leland and Duane Lee. And Ashlynn told her that they would. So they took showers and got dressed Ashlynn puts on a really cute tank top and jeans and Hannah puts on a cute tank top also and a mini-skirt. an hour later Lyssa comes to pick them up

"ready?"

"yea"

"Duane Lee and Leland are meeting us there."

The guys are at the club waiting for the girls to get there. They are at the bar and there drinking corona's and talking

"so bro do you like Ashlynn or Hannah?"

"Why what's it to ya bra?"

"nothin but im just wondering and trying to figure it out"

"Their both cute but i like Ashlynn" that's what Duane Lee thought but he wasn't sure.

"oh, i kind of like Hannah" Leland smiled and then started laughing a little bit

"What bro?"

"huh?"

"what's so funny?"

"Oh, nothin" a little while later the girls got there and saw Leland and Duane Lee at the bar. Ashlynn got butterflies in her stomach whenever she saw Leland. They walked up

"hey guys" they turn around and Leland smiles when he sees Ashlynn and she smiles back. So they ordered a round of corona's and the girls drank it and then went to the dance floor. Leland and Duane Lee watched a minute and then Duane Lee went out to the dance floor and asked Hannah if she wanted to dance and she said

"sure" Ashlynn came back by the bar and sat down next to Leland and they started talking

"so why arent you out on the dance floor with us?"

"i don't know" she sat there a minute and a slow song came on and she stood up (nervous as hell) and asked Leland

"wanna dance?" he thought a minute and said

"sure" so she grabs his hand and they go on the dance floor the song that was playing is Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden.

"so why did you and Hannah leave Alabama to come here?"

"because we wanted to try something new i guess and start over" "i'm glad you did" she looks up at him and smiles and says

"so am i" the song ended and the girls stayed on the dance floor while the guys went to get another drink.

They all decided to go to a bar and hang out there for awhile. So Duane Lee and Ashlynn got into a bet because she told him that she could drink him under the table. So they said

"Who ever wins gets$20 bucks from the loser"

"ok" everyone was suprised that she could keep up with Duane Lee. It was a tie so no one got $20 bucks from the other person.

Leland helped Duane Lee to the car as Hannah helped Ashlynn to Lyssa's car. When she got to Ashlynn and Hannah's apartment she helped Hannah take Ashlynn inside and she left. Ashlynn passed out and her cell phone started ringing so Hannah answered it and it was Leland.

"How is Ashlynn doin"

"she's passed out, what bout Duane Lee?"

"He's passed out to" so Hannah and Leland started talking and she told him that Ashlynn likes him and he told her that Duane Lee likes her.

Leland was shocked that Ashlynn liked him he didn't think she did. So when the next morning came Ashlynn woke up and had a huge hang-over she got up and took a shower and it helped a little bit she went down stairs and Hannah asked

"How r u feeling?"

"i feel like shit, what happined last night?" Hannah laughed and said

" You and Duane Lee got into a drinking match and no one won" so Ashlynn went to go get dressed and she put on sweatpants and a t-shirt and then they went into work and Duane Lee was sitting on the couch and Leland was sitting in the chair when the 3 girls walked in she sat on the couch beside Duane Lee. Dog, Tim, and Beth wasnt there yet so they were all hanging out and talking. The rest of the team walked in and Tim says

"you two look like shit what happined last night?" so hannah, Leland and Lyssa told them what happined.

"she kept up with Duane Lee? Damn girl you got guts" she smiled slightly and said

"i don't plan on drinking that much again" and Duane Lee said the same thing.

"yea until next time we all go out" and everyone laughed and Ashlynn and Duane Lee said

"Don't laugh my head hurts." So Dog decided to let Ashlynn and Duane Lee stay there till they felt better and he told Leland to stay there with them. Later on when Ashlynn felt better Leland went over and asked Ashlynn

"hey um on friday night after work do you wanna go to a movie or something?" she looked at him and said with a smile

"are you asking me out on a date?"

"kind of it depends on what you say" he said with a grin. So she thought and answered

"yea sounds cool"

"cool, and yes it's a date" she laughed.

Friday comes and Ashlynn goes home to get ready to go out with Leland. She takes a shower and tries on every outfit she has with her and can't find one she likes so she asks Hannah if she could borrow one of her's. She finally found one and she gets changed and does her hair and puts on a little make-up. Leland comes at about 7:30 and Hannah let's him in and Ashlynn comes out of her room and Leland's jaw dropped and said

"damn you look nice" she smiles and says

"thanx, so do you" they left.

They went to dinner and then they went to the beach and walked down the beach bare foot. And they both started to say how they liked each other they both laugh

"you go first Leland" Ashlynn said

"ok um i like you, since the first time i met you" she takes his hands into hers and says

"i was just about to tell you the same thing" he put his hand under her chin and raised he head so she was looking at him and he kissed her. When they stopped kissing they stand there a minute hugging each other and they start walking down the beach again holding hands. They got back to Ashlynn and Hannah's appartment at about 9:30 they hug and kiss a minute before she goes inside.

"do you wanna come in for a minute?"

"yea for a minute" she opens the door and she saw Hannah sitting on the couch watchin tv

"hey you two"

"hey" they both said she walks into the kitchen and gets a water out of the fridge and offers Leland one and he took it. He stayed for 5 minutes and he left. Ashlynn told Hannah everything that happined and Leland told Duane Lee everything.

(the alarm clockstarts going off) Ashlynn turns it off and goes to wake up Hannah.

"hey it's 7:30 Han"

"ok" and she sits up and gets her clothes around while Ashlynn takes a shower. After she got out of the shower she goes and gets her cell and turns it on to find a message from Leland. So she listened to it.

"hey it's me beautiful, i was just calling to say hi and that i miss you, well i gotta go call me later bye" and she heard Duane Lee yell while he was leaving a message " Just tell her you love her" she also heard "shut up bra" and then he hung up. She calls him back and Duane Lee answers

"hello?"

"hey it's Ashlynn"

"oh hey hold on he's right here" she hears DL say something to Leland but could't make out what it was

"hey what's up?"

"nothin just returning your call"

"glad you did" they talked for awhile

"hey i gotta go Hannah's ready so were leaving for work"

"ok see you there"

"k bye"

"bye" they hung up.

The two girls arrive just as Leland and Duane Lee were arriving to. Leland hugged Ashlynn and kissed her softly everyone was like "AWWW" They both blushed a little bit. They all started laughing and Dog walks out

"what did i miss? Im always finding things out last"

"This" and Leland kissed Ashlynn again.

"congrats guys, i knew you two woulkd end up getting together" dog said. They all went inside and goufed off because they didn't have anything else to do so Baby Lyssa turns on the radio and Crush comes on and the girls start dancing and having fun. The girls laugh and start singing and Dl says

"you three are dorks" so Hannah pulls him over and he starts acting like they are which made them laugh harder. Tim comes in has a funny look on his face but also joins in on the fun

" hey how come your not having fun with us?"

"because it's fun to watch you five being dorks" so Ashlynn gives him a look that said please and she gives that pouty face so he follows her and just starts having fun with them. Dog and Beth walk in and couldn't help but laugh at the 6 of them.

"And this is the next generation of bounty hunters?" He says laughing

"yea thats a scary thought" beth says. Dog sent them home because there was nothing they could do so Leland, DL, and baby Lyssa went to Ashlynn and Hannah's apartment. So DL and Leland went to the store to get some beer while they were gone the 3 girls were talking.

"im so happy for you and Leland Ash, i havent seen him this happy in awhile"

"really" So Lyssa tells them bout Maui and Ashlynn was like

"ohmygod" so Lyssa decides to change the subject

"So Hannah when are you and DL getting together? He likes you"

"i don't know i thought about letting him make the first move" Ashlynn looks at Hannah

"since when have you wanted guys to make the first move?"

"never but i dont want to screw things up with this one" so Lyssa's like

"do you want me to talk to DL for you"

"Yea" then the guys walk in and are like

"yea what?" the girls laugh

"nothing" Leland hands Ashlynn a Corona and sits down beside her.

"i think that Ashlynn and i should make another bet" Dl said.

"are you serious? Ok but i get to choose what we drink"

"ok deal" so Dl and Ashlynn went to the store and got some vodka

"you drink that straight?"

"yea can you handle it?"

"yea" and they also got some captin morgan. While at the store they also deceded not to try to out drink each other. so they got some stuff to mix drinks with.

They got back to the apartment

"we were wondering what happined to ya'll" Hannah said.

"we decided not to get back on that bet so we got stuff for mixed drinks" so they made drinks and turned on the radio and given me a rush came on. And Ashlynn and Hannah knew the song because they already heard it over in Alabama and Lyssa Dl and Leland were like

"that song just came out how do you know it?"

" in Alabama we hear songs befor some people do" they were like

"oh ok" So they all decided to take a shot of Vodka and Captin Morgan Lyssa and hannah made a face and Ashlynn, Dl, and Leland thought it was funny.

"that stuff is gross straight" Lyssa and Hannah said.

It started to get late and everyone was starting to get tired. Leland noticed that Ashlynn had her head on his shoulder sleeping so he picked her up and put her in her bed. That woke her up

"hey"

"hey"

"where are you gonna sleep?"

"on the floor in the living room" she sat up

"you can sleep up here with me if ya want" he told her that he would so he went out into the living room and took his shoes off and went back into her room. He laied down beside her and she turned to face him and they talked for a while and she sat up to get a cigarette and she offered him one and he took it. she put out her cigarette and laied down and he did the same and they fell asleep holding on to each other.
