Good morning everyone (at least for those in the same time zone as me and who are reading this soon after I post it. For the rest of you: Good afternoon and good night! Hope you enjoy this chapter. I can't thank you enough for the reviews! Please keep them coming. Enjoy!

These people don't belong to me. I would whisk Diesel and Ranger to a tropical island if I could. JerseySue, you can come too, but I don't know how good I would be at sharing! Hehe.


The medical people left and Ranger pulled on a shirt. I felt the shirt was unnecessary but I don't think he would have agreed.

"Sorry to leave ya babe. I'll have my cell on me all day. I'm leaving you with Tank and Hal today. One will be posted outside your room, one in here with 're drawing straws now. I've got a few other men stationed around the building. Security here is on high alert. There is a list of people who can get in to see you. I've got Diesel, Lula, your mom, dad, grandma, Connie, and Joe on the list. If you want to add someone you tell Tank who tells me, and I tell security. Got it?"

"You put Joe on the list?" I asked.

"Joe doesn't scare me babe." He leaned over made my heart monitor go a little crazy one last time and then left the room. Tank walked in as Ranger walked out. Tank had on a nifty ear piece that I could barely see. Tank looked like secret service.

"Batman has left the building. Tastykake is secure." Tank said. I noticed he didn't have to push any buttons which would mean any conversations we had would be relayed. Fun.

"Hey can I be Wonder Woman instead of Tastykake?"

"Tastykake is requesting a name change." He listened for a second. "Er. Ranger said he would change your name to "Bombshell Bounty Hunter" if you wanted." He looked hopeful.

"No thanks." I frowned. I was bored. I turned on the TV and found an episode of One Tree Hill. Tank watched with me and I explained the various relationships.

"Those Tree Hill kids need to learn to keep it in their pants. Cripes. Look at that! The dark haired one is making out with the blonde ones boyfriend! Wait he and the other guy are brothers right? And isn't the blonde one the brother's ex girlfriend?"

I nodded and Tank's eyes went a little wild. He was glued to the screen. I pushed the call button and a nurse came in.

"I have to use the ladies room." She helped me get up, watching Tank with wide eyes. I was still hooked up to my IV. Tank stood up as I made my way to the little bathroom.

"Where do you think you're going? This is a one woman job."

"I'm just checking out the bathroom before you go in."

"You think someone snuck in their while you were watching One Tree Hill? RANGER! TANK IS WATCHING DIRTY TEENAGE TV SHOWS INSTEAD OF MONITORING MY BATHROOM!!!!"

"Cripes! He can hear that! You're gonna get me in trouble." Tank opened that bathroom door, glanced in and then let me go inside.

I did my thing and then saw the shower. I couldn't hear anything outside of the bathroom. Not even the TV. Good sound proofing. I turned on the shower and climbed in. I figured the water wouldn't hurt the IV tubing. I was lathering my hair when I heard the door open.

I poked my head out angrily, jeez I couldn't even take a shower.

"Tastykake is fine. She's in the shower." He listened. "Ranger wants to know if you'll still be in the shower in twenty minutes?"

"No! And why are you in here?"

"Sorry, we knocked but you didn't answer."

I 'hmmphhed' and pulled the curtain closed. I stepped to my right and slipped. I feel on my ass taking the shower curtain with me.

"Oh crap Tastykake just fell on her ass and broke the shower." Tank came over to help me and I swear I could hear Ranger laughing on the other end of that damn ear thing.

"Stop calling me Tastykake. AGH! DON'T TOUCH MY BUTT!"

"Jesus I didn't mean too. You're all slippery. Hold still so I can stand you up."

"Just get out!!!" Tank turned to go and slipped. He fell and hit his head on the side of the shower. Uh oh.

"HAL!!!!" HELP!!!"

Hal came bursting in, first looking at me, still sprawled in the shower and then at Tank who was breathing but not moving.

"Tastykake is secure. I think she killed Tank for touching her butt though."

"I didn't do that!" Not that it hadn't been kind of funny, but I hadn't done it. Hal sprinkled some water on Tanks face and he woke up. Hal helped him up and then called for a nurse to help me. We got my hair rinsed and I was allowed to put on one of the sweat suits I had bought the other day. Ranger must have had the guys bring it. The pants say Juicy on the butt. Yup that's me.

I was settled back into my bed and I grabbed my phone and text messaged Ranger.

I'm bored.

Babe. How can you be bored? You've already injured one of my men. You're right on schedule. I'll have some entertainment brought up.

Like a stripper?

Babe.

I sighed and waited for my entertainment. Twenty minutes later a RangeMan employee knocked and was let in by Tank. It was someone I'd never met before. He had a laptop. There was a note inside an envelope.

Babe, go ahead and figure out where you want to go. Look at a bunch of different places and hotels. This should be secure, but just in case, we don't want to lead our man to you. Pick wherever you want. Don't worry about money. Try not to let Tank watch too much TV, he gets riled up.

I turned on the laptop and started searching travel sites. I had a passport and but I didn't know about Lula or Diesel. I text messaged them to ask.

Hell yeah I have a passport. Where we goin? Mexico? Are we goin to Mexico?

No.

Diesel walked out of my bathroom. Tank didn't notice. He was too wrapped up in One Tree Hill. "Christ, they said I wasn't on the list. I had to pop in."

Tank looked over at Diesel very suspiciously but someone called someone else a dirty whore on the TV and he was engrossed again.

"Yeah I have a passport." He walked over to my bed and made me scoot over so he could sit next to me. We surfed around for a while. We both wanted to go somewhere hot with a beach. He said Australia, I said the Bahamas. Then we both agreed on Hawaii. Frankly I was scared to go to Australia. Kangaroos freak me out.

I looked over at Tank and when I looked back at Diesel he was gone. About ten minutes later he walked out of my bathroom again. He tossed me a little pink bikini and grinned.

I suddenly though of Lula in a bikini and Diesel's grin faded. "Maybe we should go somewhere cold instead." I nodded in agreement.
