After a few hours at the beach we walked to a little beach restaurant and ordered sandwiches, chips, and drinks. We sat down to enjoy our food and talk.

"Anything interesting going on in Trenton?" I asked curious as to what everyone was doing.

"Not really, Morelli is dating a kindergarten teacher." I smiled at that.

"I'm happy for him. Anything else?"

"Plum Bail Bonds is officially closed. Harry decided it wasn't worth keeping open especially since all of the employees but Rangeman left."

"Are you all not doing FTA's anymore?"

"Yeah we are. Ranger bought the Bond's office from Harry and hired a two people, surprisingly Valerie and Mary Lou. They write the bonds and keep track of all the paperwork and we do all the skip tracing even small bonds." Hmmm. That was interesting.

"Grandma been causing trouble?"

"She has been arrested twice" He said laughing.

"For what?"

"The first was public indecency, she thought it would be fun to run around the nursing home naked to try and find a man. The second was carrying concealed a couple weeks later." He was barely able to speak because he was laughing so hard.

"Who picked her up when she went FTA?" I know she went FTA and I know whoever picked her up had their hands full.

"Ranger and Tank the first time because Ranger wanted to see if she had any information on where you were. The second time was Hal and Vince. Hal is scarred for life. She flashed him and Vince." I couldn't hold it any longer I bust out laughing, holding my stomach trying to breath laughing.

"She.. Flashed.. Them..?" I managed to squeak out between laughs.

"Yeah she flashed them. Ranger had to give them combat pay. He debated counseling but decided they could get over it on their own."

I couldn't stop laughing, imagining their faces when grandma lifted her shirt was just way to much.

"I love my grandma. Never a dull moment when she's around." He shook his head at that.

"Beautiful, I really do miss you and wish you'd tell me where you live. I want to know you are okay and be able to check on you."

"How about this. I'm not going to tell you where I live but I will give you my personal cell phone number but please don't give it out to anyone and the area code will tell you about where I'm living. Don't come trying to figure it out. Please, if you can't agree to that I will not give you the number." He sat for a minute and I know he was thinking about it.

When finally he spoke again. "Okay I give in. I won't give it away and I won't come look for you."

I smiled at him, "I'll give it to you before we leave Orlando."

He nodded and we continued to eat in blissful silence listening to the beach noises. Being in New York I don't get that anymore, not as close to the shore as I was in Jersey and I don't have time to just drive to the shore. I'm lucky I was able to get away for this four day vacation, but all of us owners are getting one.

After lunch we walked back down to the beach to relax some more. He rubbed more lotion on me to keep me from burning and then turned me around to face him.

"I like the hair Beautiful, I hadn't said anything yet because I was trying to get used to you with straight red hair." I smiled at him.

"Thanks, it goes with my new identity." He nodded and pulled me to him so that my head was resting on his shoulder.

"Beautiful I have missed you so much, you have no idea. It's going to be hard going our separate ways when we leave Orlando."

I looked up at him and gave him my most mischievous smile. "You could always quit Rangeman and come to work for me."

He looked at me skeptically. "I have a contract at Rangeman that I can't break but there is only 6 months left on it and then I might take you up on that offer if it puts me closer to you."

"Lester, Be serious. Please. If you wanted to come to work for me I would love for you to but only if that's what you truly wanted."

He nodded and snuggled me back into him.

After a few minutes I looked up at him, "How about we head back to the Hotel?" I asked.

"If that's what you want Beautiful." I nodded before standing up.

I started picking up our stuff as he got up and folded up our blanket. We walked to the car together and loaded all of our stuff in the back of it. He opened the door for me to get in and then buckled me in before walking around to the drivers side and getting in.

The drive back to the hotel was done in a comfortable silence. I thought of how much I missed him and all my other friends and then I thought of how great I was doing in New York. Life was working well for me, I was co owner to a growing business and had new friends that I loved and cherished.

We pulled back into the hotel lot and Lester came around and opened my door before opening the back of the SUV for us to get our beach bags out of it. We carried them to our room and we both put everything away. It was comfortable to be able to share the small task with someone.

After everything was settled and put away, I grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge and settled next to Lester on the couch. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him before turning on the TV. He put the TV on USA network which was playing a marathon of action movies.

I snuggled into Lester to watch The Patriot. Being so close to Lester started sending my hormones into overdrive. I hadn't had a social orgasm in a long time and just thinking of having one wasn't helping. Suddenly, I heard the in room phone ringing I got up to answer in case it was one of my team members and good thing to.

"Hello." I answered watching Lester as he got up to walk over to where I was standing.

"Liz?" Danny asked

"Yeah, it's me what's up and it better be serious if you are calling me while I'm on vacation." He didn't laugh which meant whatever was going on was serious.

"We have a problem."

"What kind of problem and how big of a problem is it?" I asked starting to get pissed that my vacation was being ruined.

"There was a package delivered to the office today and it wasn't a pleasant package."

"Well, What the hell was it?" I was now pissed why can't people just spit put the bad news. Lester wrapped his arms around me as I listened to Danny.

"It seems that you have someone that wants you dead. There were pictures of you with a target on your heart and whoever is doing this is damn good. There was also a letter." Great a letter that's never good.

"What did it say"

" I'm going to read the letter exactly as it is."

"Okay" I was starting to get really nervous.

"Elizabeth, You are doing a man's job and I will be coming for you. I could take you out easily from a distance but I want to show you what a woman's job is first. Yours Truly."

"That's it?" Huh? Could be worse.

"Yeah, that's it."

"Okay, well I'm not there so no worries at the moment. I want you to go through all of our recent captures and find out who is out of jail. Focus on ones I was involved in, email me the list and I will go through it and call you with who we need to start surveillance on. Call Eric and see if he is willing to help out right now because we may need it until we found out who is pissed at me."

"Got it, I'm about to call a meeting for all employees so they are aware of the situation."

"Thanks, Danny get that list emailed to me as soon as possible. I'll check my email in about two hours."

"Okay. Honey, I really am sorry about all this."

"I know, don't worry about it. I'll talk to you later." I disconnected the phone. So much for my relaxing vacation.

I turned in Lester's arms and wrapped my arms around his waist just enjoying being held. I hadn't had any problems since I moved and now someone is pissed. I should have known it wouldn't last long.

Lester wrapped his arms tighter around me before he started to ask questions which I knew was coming.

"Beautiful, you want to tell me what's going on?"

"Nothing terribly important." Avoid questions at all costs on the situation. That was my goal.

"Stephanie, Don't lie to me. I saw your reaction. Please tell me what's going on." Damn that please.

"Apparently there is someone who isn't very happy with me at home. They got a package at the office today."

"What kind of package?" He questioned as he walked me to the couch still holding onto me.

"The kind you don't want to get." I can do this, answer questions evasively.

"Don't Steph! Don't be vague me. What is going on?" Damn him knowing what I was doing.

"A package was delivered to the office this morning with a picture of me and a target on my heart. There was also a letter saying I was going to be shown what a woman's job is. That's all, I'll catch him and make him think twice about threatening me. It's fine! Let's drop it, I want to enjoy my vacation.

"Okay, but is there a chance you were followed here?"

"Nope, I took special care of making sure I couldn't be followed or traced." Lester just nodded as he pulled me down on the couch with him.

"We have two hours before you have to check email. Do you want to finish the movie or do something else?"

"I'd like to just watch the movie for right now."

He pulled me back to him and wrapped his arm back around me until the movie was over. When it finished I got up, stretched, and went to fish out my laptop out of my luggage. I got it out and plugged up to check my email. I knew there would probably be a long list of people who we had captured and taken back to the cop shop.

I booted up my computer and pulled up my email, thankfully Danny had already emailed me the list. I sat on the bed with my laptop laying on my legs to go through the names. To my surprise there was only about 15 names, so most of the ones we put back in jail had stayed there.

I went through the names and had marked three as most likely and seven as possibilities, the rest were of no concern to me. They were fairly basic captures who didn't really care whether they went back to jail or not. I know that's odd since they skipped their court date but a lot of them are repeat offenders and just don't care if they go back to jail or not.

I sent an email to Danny with my guesses on who they could be and what I think the best plan of action will be. I wanted taps put on their phones and since we don't have the manpower to keep people on them, I told him to have trackers put on their vehicles. That should give us some idea. Ben will take care of all of that for us, he is absolutely amazing at computers and electronics.

I looked up and noticed Lester was standing there watching me work. I smiled up at him as I shut off the laptop and moved it off of my lap.

"All done?" He asked

"Yep, I have a few that I think are most likely to be the ones to threaten me."

Lester walked over and sat on the bed beside me, pulling me to him again. He was really turning into quite the touchy person. Maybe, I should talk to him about it. Maybe I should see if he felt the same way about me that I feel about him, if I could define that feeling.

I love Les, I missed him the most of all my friends back home. He was sweet, easy to talk to, protective without being over bearing and controlling, and had a great sense of humor. When I picture myself with someone in a committed relationship they have all the qualities Lester has. I really needed to talk to him about this but how, I don't do adult conversations very often.

I need to talk to my three amigos, they can help me out. They'll tell me what I need to hear and help me with my nerves. Like I said they were great friends, Connie and Lula would try to help but most of their ideas are little out in left field which isn't what I need right now. Danny is dealing with my stalker problem, so naturally that leaves the three amigos.

I looked up at Les and he was sitting with me against him and his eyes closed. I smiled at how relaxed he was with me.

"Lester, I need to go make a phone call." He nodded and loosened his arms from around me slightly.

I got up and walked into the living room, sitting where I could watch if he tried to eavesdrop. I turned on my phone and called Diego's cell phone. He was always with Ryan and usually Marion was around somewhere close. After two rings he picked up.

"Is this my absolute favorite boss who is also the hottest boss around?" I laughed.

"That assumption would be correct." I replied still laughing at him.

"What's up boss?" I smiled, he always called me boss even when we were hanging out.

"I need help."

"What kind of help? You aren't in trouble on your vacation are you?""No, I'm not in trouble. I leave all the trouble for you three goons to get into." He chuckled.

"I'm hoping this doesn't have to do with your stalker."

"Nope, personal."

"Ah, is this about the mystery man you invited to meet you there?"

"Got it in one."

"Hang on. Ryan is driving me nuts wanting it on speaker so he can hear what is going on." I smiled. These guys were crazy and I couldn't ever just talk to one of them it was at least two of them but usually all three.

"Okay Boss. What's the deal?"

"I want to tell him how I feel but I don't do adult conversations unless I'm at work and then it's still iffy. What do I do."

"Screw him senseless!" This coming from Ryan my employee horn dog.

"Shut the hell up Ryan. Look Boss, just talk to him, if he's as great as you say it will come easily. Plus he'd be a dumbass not to want you. If it wasn't for Adrianna I'd try to get in your pants." I laughed, they truly were a mess.

"I'll be sure to tell Adrianna that." I heard Ryan laughing at that remark.

"Now Boss, I'm trying to help you. You tell her and I'll have to do something not so nice to you."

"Are you threatening your boss Diego?"

"Not at all" he laughed, "Just simply making a statement." I laughed again.

"Thanks you two. I'll talk to you when I get back." I disconnected still laughing at the goofs that I employ.

I walked back into the bedroom and Les was smiling.

"Good Conversation? I kept hearing you laugh."

"Yeah, I was talking to two of the guys that work for me but also happen to be great friends." He smiled.

"You make friends with everyone Beautiful. I'm not surprised." I smiled as I crawled back into the bed.

"Lester, can I talk to you about something serious?"

"Of course you can Beautiful. You should know that." I nodded and bit my lower lip trying to come up with the right words. I looked Lester in the eyes before beginning.

"I care about you a lot. Maybe as more than friends, I just don't know how to talk about it." I said biting my lip again.

Lester cupped my cheek with his hand, "Then don't talk about it." I started to pull away but he pulled me to him and kissed me.

The kiss felt like he was pouring every emotion possible into it. I was getting extremely turned on by the kiss. The man could kiss, I had never been kissed like that. We slowly pulled away from each other and he pulled me to where I was sitting on his lap.

"Beautiful, I don't express emotions well. I'd rather make jokes but I do care about you and if you want to I would like to try a relationship with you. It will be hard though because I don't know where you live." I nodded.

"How about this Lester, I'll give you my personal cell phone number and when I get back home I'll talk to Connie and Lula and see if they are comfortable with me telling you where we are."

"Okay, we can do it that way." Then he kissed me again.

The next two days we decided to spend most of our time in our room exploring our new relationship. We did go shopping though, I couldn't not shop. There hadn't been any news on my stalker so every fugitive on our list had trackers put on their vehicles. I was nervous about going home and not being with Les, I enjoyed my time with him so much.

We packed all of our things up and started loading them in the rental car. We both had flights leaving out within 30 minutes of each other. We drove in silence to the airport holding hands neither of us really wanting to leave the other.

We pulled up to the airport and checked in. Our flights were leaving from opposite sides of the airport so we kissed and hugged before going our separate ways.

"Beautiful, I really don't want to leave you." I nodded with tears streaming down my face.

"I know. I'll call you as soon as I'm home and you have my cell phone number if you need to get a hold of me. I have meetings all day tomorrow and after those I'll talk to Connie and Lula. I promise, I want to see you again as soon as possible." He reached up and wiped away my tears before giving me one last kiss and walking to his terminal.

I can only hope Connie and Lula are okay with me telling Lester where we live. I don't want to be away from him any longer than necessary.

The reunion between the ladies and Rangeman is coming soon. There are 3 scenarios of how it could go and both would be full of drama. Let me know which one you prefer.

1. Rangeman goes to NYC to capture and FTA but TNT just happens to be going after the same FTA and they run into each other during the takedown.

2. Rangeman is in NYC for a takedown at a Nightclub and see the girls and some of their employees dancing the night away.

3. Rangeman is in NYC for a takedown but has free time before hand and Ranger calls Diego and Bobby calls Marion (You guessed it their siblings.) to meet for dinner but Steph is already out with her three amigos.

Which one would you like to read. Whichever one gets the most votes wins.
