Chapter Four: Bryan's last chance…

Lacy watched the boys joust in their own way, but soon got bored and walked around the corner. When she turned she noticed Lee had left and Bryan was left standing there alone; she got a neat idea to go and jump on him, but was caught by Tala. 'Now, little Birdy…that is not nice.' Bryan turned and saw that Tala had Lacy tight in his arms. 'Let her go, Tala.' Lacy went limp and slipped out of his grip, ' Retard!' She walked over to Bryan and stood by him. Tala was at a loose for words when Lacy went to Bryan's side. Tala laughed some, 'Like he'll protect you from me?' 'I want HER!' Bryan hit Tala in the chest knocking him back a few feet, 'Don't touch my girl.' Lacy stood there in awe, 'okay, Sas was right, Russians are a tad bit territorial.'

Bryan turned to her and looked at her, ' You know Sasha?' lacy looked up at him and nodded, 'Well, I did take her title…If you don't remember, my picture and the trophy is down stairs.' Bryan was at a loose for words as Tala came over to him, 'I tried to tell you, but you just don't listen.' Bryan looked back and forth between Tala and Lacy rubbing his head with his right hand, 'Where is she?'

Lacy shook her head, 'Back where she belongs…I'll take you there if you like?' Bryan nodded to her and took her small hand into his, 'Then take me there.' Tala followed only to be followed by a dark cloaked figure. Lacy lead them all the way to the top floor of the gym only to stop at a door with some writing on it that said, 'Sasha L. Darkhart and co.' 'Shall we enter boys,' asked Lacy in a sweet tone. Bryan shook his head, 'No, she's probably married and has kids now.' Lacy smiled and looked at them, 'She has one, a girl. She married Garland. They live happily….' Bryan and Tala were in shock at the news; Bryan left quickly. Tala looked at Lacy, 'He's pissed now…' Lacy smiled up at him, 'I hope I didn't hurt his feelings.' Tala looked down at her and smiled, 'No, he's just that way.' Tala and Lacy moved down the hall way to a door that said, "Coker." Lacy turned to Tala, 'Wanna come in?' Tala nodded and followed her into the room; it was decorated in nice smooth calming colors, a place that Tala thought he could stay in forever. Lacy smiled at him, 'Looks like Bryan is back…'

Bryan stood in the door way taking in the sights, 'Tala, Boris wants us to met him at a place called 'The Café'. And I don't know where it is.' Bryan kept on eyeing Lacy as she walked around her room picking at things. Lacy noticed this and smiled, 'If you take a left out of the parking lot, go about two miles, hang a right at the stop sign and go about another mile and it's right there on the left…can't miss it. Looks old, but has great food….Trust me.' Tala and Bryan stared at her then laughed. Tala walked over to her and hugged her, 'Thanks.' Bryan growled at Tala, 'Hey, none of that!' Lacy smiled, 'If you like I can just take you there, I've got to go to work in a bit…' Tala nodded and released her from his loving hug. Bryan smiled, 'Sure.'

After the café the guys and Lacy returned to the hotel to discover that Ashley was sitting outside their dorms. 'Hey ,there…Brelock,' she said. Lacy smiled big and ran over to her and gave her a big hug, 'Missed you to cat girl!' The guys were at a lose for words and went on their way. Ashley step back and asked, 'Who are your new friends?' Lacy giggled and turned to see no one, 'Well, it was Bryan and Tala, but I don't know where they went,' Lacy said. Ashley smiled and joined Lacy in her room, 'So how's Mrs. Garland?' Lacy turned and made a face, 'Fat and cranky.' Ashley laughed and made herself comfortable for the night.
