"Hey pretty lady how about four beers?" a guy from Tim's gang asked.

"Coming right up handsome," she called back and glanced at Dallas, he was glaring at the guy, "Baby, it's to get more tips."

"I know," Dallas told her and watched her get the four beers and hand them to the guy.

"Thanks doll," he told her and walked away to go to the rest of the guys. Vanessa glanced at the door and her brother Mark was there.

He went up to the bar and smiled, "sis, can I have a shot of Jack?" he asked.

"Really, Jack?" she asked.

"Okay, Vodka," he changed his mind and she got him the shot.

"I knew it bro," she joked and Dallas came over.

"Hey Mark," Dallas greeted.

"Hey Dally, how you treating my kid sister?" Mark joked with a smile.

"He's doing a perfect job Mark," Vanessa replied and he smiled.

"Better be Dally," he joked and Dallas chuckled.

"Well, I gotta work boys, have fun," Vanessa told them and went over to where Sylvia and them were, "more beers?"

"Yes please," Sylvia ordered with a smile, "oh Vessa, I'm sorry for at The Dingo the other day."

"It's the past, so are you," she said in reply and went to get the beers. Sylvia was glaring Daggers at Vanessa.

"What the hell did you say to her Vessa?" Buck asked with a chuckle.

"She tried to apologize for what went on at The Dingo and all I told her was it's the past and so are you," Vanessa told him and he chuckled and put an arm around her shoulders, "no hug right now Buck, I gotta get these to the Tramp and friends."

"Well, go then come back for the hug," Buck said and pushed her to walk. She took the eight beers over to the group and left without saying anything.

She went over to Dally and wrapped her arms around his neck since he was standing up and leaning against the bar, "Let's dance," she said and he lead her to the dance floor when a slow song came on.

"Wow, Dallas Winston does know how to dance, but whose the hot girl with him?" a guy called.

"His wife," Buck called and Dallas smiled and nodded in reply.

The bar room went silent, a cop stood up and went over to Dallas, "what did you do this time baby?" Vessa whispered. Dallas turned and saw Officer Garrett standing there. Dallas sighed and shrugged.

"What's up Garrett?" Dallas asked.

"Just coming over to see if the little lady is the reason you haven't been locked up recently," Garrett rudely told him.

"To be honest, she is the reason," Dallas said loud enough so the whole bar heard him.

"Well about damn time Winston, but we'll see you soon," Garrett told him and Vessa got pissed.

"You will not be seeing Dallas anytime soon there Officer Garrett, Dallas of all people did change, if you don't like that fact then guess what, you're one cop I will be arguing with a lot over my husband, now if you would be so kinda to back off so we can dance alone," Vanessa told him and walked away dragging Dallas behind her.

"Damn girl," Tim said watching Garrett leave pissed.

"What now Shepard?" Vanessa asked.

"Never mind," Tim said. She grabbed his wrist.

"Talk," she basically ordered.

"Just, no one talks to him without him going after them," Tim told her.

"I ain't scared, I have my brother Mark here, Dallas, Steve, Buck, I'm protected," she told him and Dallas wrapped his arms around her waist, picked her up and carried her to the bar.

"Three beers for table four, and shots of whiskey and keep them coming at table two," Buck told her she chuckled.

"Oh Buck, are you that tired that you had to have Dallas bring me here?" she joked as she grabbed the beers.

"It's your job doll," Buck joked back as she took the beers over to the table then went back, got the whiskey and shot glasses and took them to the table and then took the whiskey back to the bar.

'So baby girl, are you going to tell me what you were talking about earlier?" Dallas asked.

"Nope, since I told you that you will find out later on tonight," she simply replied and got a beer for herself.

"Drinking on the job I see," Buck's second hand Jake said with a chuckle.

"Damn straight, I gotta to keep up with you men," she joked back.

"Funny girl, funny," Scott the other bartender told her.

"Oh lighten up Scotty," she told him with a smile he smiled back with a chuckle.

"You're weird Vessa," Scott told her, "these drinks are for table ten."

"Alright, hey Scotty make me my favorite mixed drink please," she ordered. He nodded and started making her special drink that only he can master.

"What's her favorite drink?" Buck asked and saw Scott put a shot of Jack Daniels in a taller glass, a shot of vodka, strawberry flavored wine cooler and then some strawberry wine. He stirred it and added just one ice cube. A few minutes later Vanessa came back.

"Here you go Vessa your special Strawberry drink," Scott told her and gave it to her.

"Thanks," she replied, sat down on a bar stool behind the bar and slowly drank her drink.

"Vessa, you alright sis?" Mark asked and she nodded.

"Yeah I'm perfectly fine," Vanessa replied back with a smile as she quickly finished her drink and went over to a guy, "what can I get you?"

"Coke and rum please," he replied. She nodded and Scott made the drink up and handed it to Vessa. She handed it to the guy.

"There you go sir, if you need another just call for Vanessa," she told him and he nodded and watched her walk back to the bar.

"Alright Doll," the guy told her and she went over to Dallas. Dallas glanced over at her and saw the worried look in her eyes.

"Darling, are you sure everything is okay?" Dallas asked and she nodded in reply.

She leaned against the bar with a sigh, "Vessa, go to bed, you have rest of the night off," Buck ordered.

She didn't budge, "Vessa?" Dallas asked.

She glanced up at him.

He went around the bar, picked her up and took her to the room. He placed her in bed, removed her dress shoes and covered her up, "honey, are you feeling okay?" he asked.

"Just tired," she replied with a yawn and motioned for him to join her.

He crawled into bed and wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you Dallas," she told him softly.

"Love you too Vessa," he replied and glanced over and noticed she was already asleep.
