Kris quickly got up from the desk chair and practically ran to the couch in Bill's office. She could always play sick or her knee as sore. Bill knew what had happened the night before so it wouldn't be too hard to pull off.

As she quickly got down on the sofa she heard Bills voice outside the doorway. Bracing herself for him to enter but he never did. The door was pulled closed and Bills voice disappeared down the hallway. She had heard another voice call after him but couldn't make it out, but was thankful to who ever it was.

Kris held her hand to her stomach and let out the breath she wasn't even aware she had been holding in. Getting off the couch she started to make her way to the door before going back to the desk drawer on something that caught her eye. Quickly grabbing the piece of paper she folded it and tucked it down her shirt front before she went back to the door and slowly eased it open. Seeing the coast was clear, she quickly left Bills office. Not wanting him to return again with her still there.

She made her way through the bar and back in behind the bar when she spotted Kelly and Sabrina sitting in a booth near the far wall. She caught their eye and started to make them each a martini. Placing them on a tray she made her way over to the booth and set each drink in front of her friends.

"We need to be careful. Dan called me out on knowing you." She said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Kelly asked as she darted just her eyes around the bar.

"Seems he and Rob saw us talking across the street. I made up a story about needing more girls to fend them off."

Sabrina cast her eyes around as well before looking at Kelly and Kris, "So from now on we don't talk unless you are brining us a drink." She looked at Kelly who agreed. "By the way, we found your book."

Kris looked surprised, "What? Where?"

"Under a dumpster not that far from where you caught up to the guy." Kelly answered, "Everything seems in place but we'll meet back at your place tonight and you can tell us if it is."

Kris looked over her shoulder slightly and saw Dan and Rob heading their way, "New flavours ladies let me know if you like it or not." She picked up the tray and turned around to pass Dan and Rob, "Couple more beer gentleman?" she asked as she past them.

Dan gave her his best smile, "Sure doll." He turned back to the table and slide in next to Kelly. "You and your friend seem to be regulars in here now."

Kelly cast him a confused look, "Our friend?"

"Yeah; the new bartender." He replied.

Kelly looked at him and moved a little closer. "Well I would hope she was a regular, she works here." She moved back a little bit, "And calling her our friend doesn't fit either we barley know her."

Sabrina leaned forward with he arm elbows resting on the table, "Besides with all the guys in her I think she's glad to have other ladies to talk to."

Dan cast a quick glance towards Rob before easing back in his chair. Maybe they were jumping to conclusions but either way he was going to keep an eye on the three girls.

Kris was cautious all night with each drink she brought to the table. In some cases she had one of the waitress take the drink. She didn't want to raise suspicion any more then it was.

She had moved the piece of paper from her top to her purse when no one was looking but never got a really good look at it. But when she had first seen it alarm flares went off in her head.

By the end of the night she was exhausted, and as she made her way home she could feel the fatigue creeping through her. All she could think about was a hot bath and a good night's sleep. But as she pulled up to the beach house she felt every hope drain from her as she saw Kelly's car sitting beside the beach house.

Pulling up in her regular parking stall she leaned her head against the steering wheel taking in a few deep breaths. Knowing her night was not going to go as planned.

Kris walked into the beach house and spotted her friend sitting on her couch with a cup of coffee in their hands, "Hey guys.' She said as she plunked herself into one of the chairs.

Both Kelly and Sabrina knew instantly that they young friend was beyond tired. For the most part of the night the bar had been quiet but in the last hour it seemed to fill to capacity and they had watched as Kris poured drink after drink and was running around.

"You look beat if you don't mind me saying so." Kelly said as she got up and got a coffee for Kris

"I am. I can not believe how crazy it got so suddenly." She sat up as Kelly handed the coffee, "Thanx. So my book?"

Kelly reached over and grabbed her purse, "Here. Seems in order no pages torn out."

"We think maybe he tossed it looking for your wallet or something else." Sabrina added in.

Kris flipped through the book Kelly handed her and was relived to see everything in place, "All here even Jill's apartment key." She placed the book on the coffee table. "My wallet was on the top so he wouldn't have been digging for that."

"Nothing else was missing from you purse?" Sabrina asked

"Nothing. The only thing I really had in there was my gun and ID." Kris leaned back and then suddenly shot forward reaching for her purse. She had checked to make sure her gun was there that night but what she hadn't checked was the gun itself. Pulling the revolver from her purse she popped open the chamber to find it empty. "Why would a street bum take the bullets from my gun?"

Each Angel looked at each other and then two focused on Kris not really sure what kind of answer to give her.

Kris reached in her purse and pulled out the piece of paper she had taken from Bill's office, "I found this in Bill's office" she handed the paper to Kelly as Sabrina looked over her shoulder.

Both Angels looked up at Kris knowing what it meant. "Is this reason for murder?" Kelly asked

Kris met her gaze, "We can check with Charlie but as we all know money is the biggest motive for murder"

There as stunned silence between the three before Sabrina stood up and placed her cup on the kitchen counter, "Look it's late, why don't we all meet back at the office in the morning? Besides Kris can hardly keep her eyes open." She indicated as Kris had eased back into her chair and was obviously fighting to stay awake.

Kelly got up from her spot on the couch and followed Sabrina's lead, "We'll meet at the office around 10. Let you get some rest." She said as she looked at Kris who was slowly getting out of her chair.

"And we are going on a jump tomorrow afternoon with Dan and Rob." Sabrina added in which got a smile from Kris

"You're going to jump again are you?" she tried unsuccessfully to hold in her laugh, "I'll let the briar patch know." At which she lost it along with Kelly.

"Oh you two are a riot." She grabbed Kelly's arm. "Get out of here." She turned and glared at Kris, "You are as bad as your sister. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Night…Briar Rabbit." She couldn't help herself as she laughed and closed the door.

Sabrina glared back at the house and then at Kelly who was trying unsuccessfully to hold in a laugh. "You two will not be laughing when I get you back."

Kelly smiled at her friend, "Oh come on Bri, its just in fun you know that. Besides it could be worse.'

Sabrina looked over the roof of Kelly car, "How?"

"It could be Jill in there making fun of you." She replied innocently.

Sabrina had to agree with Kelly in that Jill would have been milking the whole thing from day one. Kris was only taking a shot now and then.

Kelly stood beside Sabrina as the plane flew over the target, "You ok?" she asked her friend sincerely.

"No but I'll survive." Sabrina answered as she cast a glance towards the open door. Dan and Rob wee standing waiting not so patiently for the pilot to give them the ok.

Dan looked back at the girls, "Ready?"

Kelly looked at Sabrina and then back up to the guys, "Let's do it." She yelled back over the wind.

Dan gave her a wave before taking that one step out to freedom. Bill followed shortly after.

Kelly walked toward the plane exit before looking back at Bri, "Go."

Sabrina stood up and made her way towards Kelly. She knew her friend would not jump until she had. "See you on the ground?"

"Absolutely."

Sabrina took a deep breath and then stepped out of the plane.

Kelly laughed before she followed suit.

The four of them grabbed arms forming a four way circle as they free fell towards the earth. Dan and Bill broke off flipping through the air, show off to the girls.

Kelly looked over at Sabrina to make sure she was ok before she did the same. And then one upping the guys, by tucking her arms along her side and dive bombing downwards towards the earths ground.

Sabrina watched in stunned silence as Kelly rocketed towards the ground, but was relived when her friend moved her arms out and once again sailed with the rest of her body.

As Sabrina watched Kelly flatten out and coast she quickly realized the instant something went wrong as Kelly began to flail as she fell.

Sabrina wasn't sure she could do a free fall as Kelly had before but she knew she had to.

Closing her eyes for a moment she held her arms against her body and dove towards Kelly.

She quickly reached her friend an grabbed a hold of her. The blood was the first thing she saw.

"Kelly?" she yelled out against the wind but getting no answer. She held her friend tight as she pulled her own rip cord hoping it would carry them both safely to the ground.

He watched the plane from the moment it came into sight to the moment he saw the jumpers leap from the plane.

He knew exactly which jumper to target as he held the rifle up to the sky waiting for just the right moment.

The shot wasn't even heard but he saw his result.

Gathering his equipment he quickly moved from his position knowing his task was complete. He had created a fallen Angel.
