Sorry. Whose side of the bed am I on again?

After debriefing Quinn longer than he would have liked to he sent her off to bed promising to bring her food when he came back. If Jake did indeed see her fleeing from the kitchen Quinn would be next on his hitlist. After going to search high and low for him Huck realized he had fled, but knew he would be back to finish the job and Huck would be waiting on him. After informing the Grants and making sure that Olivia would never be left alone he returned to his room to find Quinn fast asleep on the bed.

When he stepped from the bathroom he found her on her back but she was staring at the ceiling, that or she must have slept with her eyes open.

"Where have you been? I was worried sick." Quinn said and her words struck him as odd. Why was she worried? What reason did she have to worry unless Jake walked through those doors?

"Why?"

"Because you didn't come back sooner. Anything could have happened…" Quinn said and patted the spot on the bed next to her. Huck walked over to the bed slowly, sat down and began to take off his shoes. "Is everything fine now?"

"Jake fled."

"Of course he did." Quinn said and frowned.

"We're going to find him… and Hollis."

"Who is Hollis?" Quinn asked, "The angry texas man?"

"Yeah…. He and Olivia's father are competitors for a very important piece of land. Hollis always remained peaceful, was even a family friend." Huck sighed and laid down in the bed beside her, "He'll be eating his meals through a straw when I'm finished with him. I just can't believe I didn't piece it together soon…"

"Well you did and Olivia's safe and that's all that matters, right?"

"Right." Huck said, Quinn stared at him for a few moments. She no longer looked distraught and looked much more at ease which was odd for him. Normally when he showed up people always looked worried or scared. Would she learn to fear him too or could she look past who he was and his past and accept him because it was a possibility they were one in the same? "Who are you?"

"Do you really want to know?" Quinn asked and he turned the question over in his mind. No, now wasn't the time for that. He didn't need to make himself needlessly uncomfortable. Maybe after all of this was over they could sit down and lay their cards on the table and reveal who they really were.

"No… but I do have questions."

"Like?" Quinn asked.

"Are you going to hurt Olivia?" Huck asked, "Is that why you're here?"

"No, I'm not going to hurt Olivia or anyone. You don't have to worry about that." Quinn said and Huck grunted in approval. "Maybe after this is all over we can talk…"

"Maybe." Huck said and watched Quinn turn her back to him and drift off to sleep. It wasn't soon after that he also drifted off to sleep, it felt like he had been asleep for a few minutes but that wasn't the case. The sun was starting to rise over the mountains and he looked down to find Quinn close to him, he could smell the sweet, citrus shampoo she used and felt his hands on her body. Why was she soft? It had been a while, were all women this pleasantly soft?

"Good morning…" Quinn said, she wasn't facing him but he must have somehow made his way over to her in the middle of the night. His body was flush against her own, his arms wrapped around her waist and he was reluctant to move. It had a been a while since he woke up with a woman in his bed, let alone a pretty one with secrets.

"Good morning." Huck said, his voice thick with fatigue and seconds later his alarm chimed violently and he rolled away from her, "Sorry… I didn't mean to…"

"It's fine. It was different… but nice… haven't woke up like that in a while." Quinn sat up slowly staring at his back. "Why are you up so early?"

"Have to catch Jake and Hollis." Huck said while moving quickly around the room gathering his things and stopped moving and looked at Quinn, "I'll be back, don't worry."


Quinn spent the better part of the morning pacing the floors, she was worried that Huck might not come back. She stopped pacing and sat down at the table when the door opened, she turned around expecting to see Huck but instead saw Olivia standing there. She was holding a phone in one hand and walked over to her slowly. Quinn turned backed to face the window that overlooked the snowy mountain top and Olivia joined her.

"Jake and Hollis were apprehended early this morning when they were trying to leave." Olivia said.

"And Huck?"

"He's fine." Olivia said, "He always manages to make it through stuff like that completely unscathed."

"Did you tell him?" Quinn asked, she had yet to turn and look at Olivia.

"No, it's not my place to tell him at all." Olivia said, "But it's not like he didn't beg."

"That would almost be adorable if I wasn't... who I am." Quinn said.

"Huck told me it was you who found out about Jake and Hollis-"

"I just got shot and eavesdropped I didn't really do anything-"

"You saved my life and a lot of lives in the process, that's a lot Quinn." Olivia said, "If you don't want to talk about it with him right now I suggest you leave soon, I'll have a car waiting for you."

"Thanks, Olivia." Quinn said and watched her get up and leave. Olivia was right, she wasn't ready to have that conversation but he probably pieced it together already. Nevertheless she began to pack up her things, it was time for her to disappear again.
