Chapter 1

It had been three years. Three years of fear. Three years of terror. Three years of running. She was tired of running. She had been careful not to leave a trail when she left her hometown, St. Paul. Gaven wouldn't find her here. Even after all these years she was still hopeful, hopeful that the past would not repeat itself, hopeful that she would never have to writhe within his steel-like grasp. Alex, who had been nothing but a loving and devoted partner throughout her relationship, made one mistake, if you could call it that, she had colored her hair to a vibrant red that brought out her green eyes and dark eyebrows and lashes, was beaten and her life threatened by the man who claimed to love her more than anything. Apparently, money was worth more to him than her life because Gaven was ready to force her into a ring of whores to sell her body to the highest bidder. She ran away before that happened. She ran all across the states, from Florida to Ohio and Kansas to Montana, finally arriving in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

"Two beers and a coke, please." Brian O'Connor, former LAPD turned criminal and recently pardoned for all past crimes, ordered his drinks for himself and his family.

"I'll get that for you right away." The bartender was new. She had blonde hair just past her shoulders, a nice smile and kind voice. She seemed to work meticulously, never missing a beat. Her skin was fair and she appeared to keep herself in reasonable shape. She glided around the other bartenders and set the drinks down in front of him. "Here you are; can I get you anything else?"

Her eyes looked dark in the shaded light of the bar but when she glanced towards any of the brighter lights he could tell that they were valleys of green. "Na, that'll be it. Thank you." He said, taking the drinks and backing away carefully before turning and returning to his table. He sat down and glanced back at the new girl, something about her pulling at him slightly though he couldn't pin point what it was. Letty smirked, tracing Brian's line of vision, glad to see him show interest in someone since Mia's passing. "Hey Jack, you see that nice lady over there. Why don't you go ask her for a little cup since your daddy forgot to?" Brian's head whipped around to protest but his three year old son was already heading towards the new bartender. Letty chuckled and watched Jack as he tugged on the girls pant leg.

Alex turned around and looked down to see a cute youngster trying to get her attention. She knelt down beside him with a smile. "Well hi there little guy. What's your name?" She asked him with a smile. Jack seemed to like her and smiled goofily at her. "Jack." He said with a quiet giggle. Alex smiled at him, warmth in her cheeks. "What can I get for you Jack?" She asked him. "Cup." He said holding out his hands. Alex chuckled and grabbed a small cup with a lid from behind the counter and handed it to Jack. "Here you go." She shook his hand for a brief moment. "It was nice to meet you." She said to him and watched him walk back to Letty, Brian and Dom before returning to work.

"Who is she?" Letty asked Brian as she helped Jack get back into his seat.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen her."

"She's been working here for about a month, been staying at a motel in Montebello. Seems to keep to herself for the most part." Dom interjected. Brian looked at him a bit quizzical for a moment before Alex came to their table with their food. "You're not from around here are you?" Dom asked her.

Alex shook her head and remained polite. "No. I needed a place with more sunshine." She said as she set their meals on the table. Before she could leave Dom added. "I hear you're looking for a place. There's a room for rent not too far from here."

She studied him for a moment. "How did you know I was looking?"

"It's a small restaurant and people talk." He wrote down the address on a napkin and gave it to her. "It's nothing special but the neighborhoods nice enough, if you don't mind cars driving by and us living down the road."

She took the napkin and studied it within her hand. "I'll look into it." She said and then stuffed the napkin into her pocket.

"I'm Dom and this is my wife Letty, our nephew Jack and his father Brian."

Alex's eyes met each of theirs and spent a bit longer than she had intended on Brian's. "Well, thank you again. It was nice meeting all of you. I've got to get back to work."

"She's cute and Jack seems to like her." Letty said, teasing Brian slightly. Jack giggled and waved bye to Alex before returning his attention to the toy car he had on the table. "Why don't you give her a shot?" She asked Brian.

"Nah." He said, some sorrow in his tone. He had only lost Mia a couple of years ago and he wasn't sure if he was ready for a relationship. He wasn't even sure if he was willing to put Jack through that. He knew Jack needed a motherly figure in his life, but he didn't want Jack to get too attached to someone and then the relationship not work, which would leave Jack heartbroken.
