After Raylan went to find Bo to have a talk and not being able to find him, night was beginning to fall. Kara went with Tim to his house to stay the night with three undercover officers hid out down the street to keep an eye on the place for extra protection. Kara had went to the master suite to take a shower while Tim fumbled around the kitchen cooking up hamburgers and french fries. Twenty mintues later Kara made her way to the kitchen smelling the food with a smile. Walking in with her long hair in a high pony tail, wearing a light green cotton spaghetti strap tank top with matching colored cotton lounge pants with swirls and barefoot.
He heard her as he flipped the last burger over and turned giving her a once over "I like the hot pink toe nails" he joked. He had take a quick shower in the spare bedroom prior to cooking and had on a white fitting tshirt showing off his toned chest and arms, with grey sleeping pants with barefeet. Kara giggled taking in how he looked in that shirt. His arms were so toned and sexy as well as his chest. She'd never really had the chance to just stare at him like that. He spoke up "what?" smiling, wondering what was going through her mind.
"I was just... admiring the view" quickly she looked away at the stove blushing "Um, need some help cooking?"
Chuckling he shook his head "Nope. I have it all under control." Walking towards her, his hand slid to her back "why don't you sit and let me do my thing. You might distract me."
"Me distract you?" joking back at him as he walked her towards a small round kitchen table. She turned in his arm facing him "does this count as distracting?" leaning in placing her lips on his. He groaned pulling her tightly against him as he deepened the kiss with the sound of burgers and fries cooking in the background. Kara's hands roamed over his upper arms then across his chest when he broke the kiss but left his lips hoovering over hers "I got to take the fries and burgers up now." Pressing one quick kiss then moved back across the kitchen leaving her smiling.
Tim and Kara sat at the table eating and laughing at each other, totally forgetting about the situation of why she was there until the door bell rang. Tim jumped up grabbing a small hand gun from off the kitchen counter. Kara went to get up and he motioned for her to remain seated. She knew she better just stay put. Especially after the day she had had so far. Tim looked out of the peep hole, "crap." He unlocked the door and pulled it open "Sir?"
"Yes Gutterson. I had to make sure Kara was okay. After no one can find Bo right now, I'm just worried. It's not that I don't trust you Tim. I know you are good at your job and I know you can take care of her. She has no other family and Kara's like my own daughter. Sorry if I interrupted anything."
Tim nodded in understanding "You're fine. You're welcome anytime Sir. You can take the spare room if you'd like to stay a while tonight. Kara is taking my room, I'll take the couch just to be closer to her room just incase."
Kara peaked around the corner after hearing voices "Dad?" Art Mullen was walking in the door with a small duffle bag as Tim shut and locked it back.
3am. Kara woke after having a bad dream. She though she heard something outside of the window. There wasn't much light in the room, most the hosue was pitch black beside the moon light peaking through slits in the mini blinds. Quietly she climbed out the huge king size bed and to the window, fingers opened a little hole and she looked out into the moonlite backyard. What looked to be a shadow of a person moved closer to a tree. She gasped and fumbled around the dark trying to get to the livingroom. Tim was sleeping on the couch covered by a thick blanket. She pulled the blanket back from away from his face "Tim.." she whispered. He jumped up grabbed her hand throwing her onto the couch, his body pinning her down. "Tim..it's Kara. Wake up."
He shook his head "you scared me." letting go of her "Are you okay?"
"Well, someone is outside. I couldn't just turn the lights on." whispering back.
Tim leaned down and whispered "listen. Go wake Art. He's in the spare room, then go back to my bathroom and lock the door until I come get you. Put a towel in the bottom of the tub and lay there. It's the safest place if shots are fired." He helped her up and then dressed, strapping on his side weapon to a pair of jeans that were laying on the end of the couch. He hurried around the dark, finding another hand gun he had placed in a safe location by his fire place. Now armed with two pistols he turned seeing Kara heading back to his room and Art coming out into the livingroom with his side arm.
Tim moved towards Art "we can go out through the utility room. There's a side door that leads out instead of using the sliding glass doors in here to go to the backyard. Art nodded "let's go."
Art had called for backup right before they had snuck out of the house. Raylan was sleeping when he got a call from Rachel that something was going down. He hurried, got dressed and drove towards Tim's house which wasn't very far away.
Two deputies that had been parked down the road began sneaking up with guns drawn, towards the house. Two headed through some thicket towards the back of the house, knowing Tim and Art were out there also. Tim and Art saw multiple shadows moving around. They remained hidden in the darkness, crouched down not seeing a person breaking in the house.
Kara had locked the bathroom door just like Tim told her and grabbed a towel and placed it in the bottom of the big spa tub and got in lying down with a white shower curtain drawn round the big tub, arms crossed over her chest. Her mind raced wondering what was taking so long after a while off sitting in silence. The door handle began wiggling softly. Her heart began pounding out of her chest and through her ears. It wiggled again, a little harder this time.
Kara didn't speak a word, then a silencer on a gun shot the simple lock loose and the door swing open. She could hear the slow footsteps on the title floor walking around. She held her breath until the curtain got ripped back "Look what I found. You sure are a pretty little things aren't you?" A rugged Bo smiled as he pointed his gun at her and whispered "get up now!"
Shaking, she slowly stood, he grabbed her upper arm yanking her out then pulled her against him with the gun pointed against her head "walk and don't scream or I'll just go ahead and shoot you." Bo got brave and decided to just walk straight out the front door. He figured his boys had Tim and Art busy in the backyard, so he opened the front door and pushed her out in to the night.
Kara didn't think he would actually shoot her so she let out a scream. Raylan happened to just have gotten there and was waiting around the corner of the house when Tim and Art snuck up to where he was. Bo turned around in the middle of the yard holding the gun on Kara "well, you done it now. Might as well get this over with, COME ON OUT BOYS!" he yelled. Bo backed towards the drive, heading to his truck with her as three of his guys made their way to his side with guns drawn towards the house.
Art, Tim and Raylan came around with their weapons drawn. Rachel and two more officers just arrived walking up the drive seeing what was going on then split up running to opposites sides of the yard.
Bo screamed out "So Art, you wanna play a game?" pausing glancing at his surroundings, "Your Marshall there.." pointing at Raylan "shot my brother and my cousin. I want payback for that."
Art yelled out "they were killed for good reason. They blew up a church, was selling drugs, and then shot at deputies while trying to rob a bank." Art was nervous. "What do you expect Bo? What do you want me to do?" Tim's gun was aimed right at the center of Bo's head. Raylan and the other officers had weapons pointed at the two men beside them. Art placed his weapon on the ground "look, you want me, not her. Let her go." Art walked a few steps, he knew the officers had his back.
Bo chuckled holding Kara closer "stop right there", eyeing Tim who looked pretty damn pissed off at this point. Moving Kara in front of his face, he laughed "if you shoot me, you kill her. Got that sniper?" Bo licked the side of her face "tastes pretty good too. I might have to keep her for myself. Sounds like a pretty good bargaining chip to me Chief. What'd ya say? I keep her and I will stop screwing with you."
Kara groaned from disgust then locked eyes with Tim briefly until he glared back waiting for a shot. She shut her eyes tight knowing all it would take is one quick shot if she remained still but she couldn't stop her body from shaking.
Art wanted to puke "she is my goddaughter, not your property. I'll go with you and get you what ever you want. If you let her go now." He knew there wasn't a shot for Tim to take and no other officers were qualified enough to make a sniper shot under these circumstances. He knew Bo knew that too.
Bo chuckled "You're bald and ugly. I like her more, she has personality. Just my type." He began grinding his body against the back of hers. "Like that don't ya honey?"
"I'm not your honey. Let me go!" She tried to pull away.
Art grimaced "just let her go! I'll do anything you want. Just leave her out of this." Raylan and Rachel eased close together as Raylan pulled out a second pistol, two aimed at two men and Rachel was aimed at the other.
Bo quickly moved her to a position just right then fired a shot into her calf from behind. She screamed as the bullet tore through her leg. Tears streaming down her face but Bo didn't let her move from him. Blood dripped down her leg puddling on the pavement. Bo kept his head behind her for protection "Now, that I got your attention Chief. I'm going to take her with me and you're going to find a way to have my other brother out of jail by lunch tomorrow. We will swap at noon tomorrow or I will just kill her."
He looked over at his guys "get in the truck."
But before they could get moving, Kara looked straight at Tim and winked through her pain before turning attention to Art and yelling out "DADDY TRUST ME!" The words threw Bo off; his men looked over at her after being thrown for a loop from her yelling. With everything in her, she elbowed Bo in the stomach hard. He let go in a gasp then she ducked down as close to the ground as possible, hands over her head as the shots rang out, taking down all three of them in a instance.
At the hospital, doctor added a few stitches to seal up the wound then bandaged her leg up. She had been in the back all alone for two hours since the doctor wanted to run some tests and make sure she was calmed down when Tim walked in alone "hey." She had been sitting back on the table waiting for some pain medicine from the doc when she heard him speak, "Tim."
"How do you feel?" walking on in towards the bed as she shrugged her shoulders. He leaned over her "I'm sorry, I couldn't get to talk to you before Art left heading here with you. He was like a freaking momma bear protecting her young, plus I had to file a report about what happened tonight, along with the other officers before I could get away. I had to see you."
"I had to try to give you a shot. I knew if I could move away enough, you could get him. He was going to take me. I knew the other officers wouldn't shoot me as long as i got down low. I had to try." she tried explaining before he told her how stupid she was for doing that.
He just leaned over and kissed her softly "I'm glad it's over."
"So, I don't get to finish my sleep over?" she asked with a sad expression.
"Well. I think I could work that out." He chuckled.
