I'm really, really, really sorry for the long wait. Work is killing me and I got slightly stuck on this chapter. Something just wouldn't work. Good news is that while I was away visiting my parents I managed to write a full new story about Happy and another OC. When I'm done with this I'll start uploading it. It's quite different from this one.

On another note, regarding my comments on David Labrava and his glasses. I was laughing so hard at razzajaz comment about reading glasses. I think it might be somewhat of a translation thing. In Swedish, reading glasses is the kind of glasses that older people get, for reading, when their arms aren't long enough for them to be able to read the paper. I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, I found a picture of him tattooing someone and the glasses he had was that kind.

On another note, this is turning into quite a few more chapters than what I had planned and I'm kind of running out of good songs to use. I'm trying to use songs that really fit. If you have any great ideas, send me a message or write it in a review (this is NOT me trying to get more reviews, I'm stunned at the amount I'm getting so a message is just as good.)

Thank you for your patience, the favs, alerts and most of all, all those amazing reviews!

Chapter 10: Cactus

"Why the fuck would Hale Jr. work with Mayans?" Tig pondered.

"They just want to get rid of us, they have common goal but it still seems risky for him." Clay seemed far away in his thoughts while he said it.

"Don't think they have something to pressure him with?" Bobby asked, he was just saying what they all were thinking. Something was off. "I still think that we need to scare the investors."

"I have an idea for that, something that will send a message to they Mayans and Hale as well. That we know that they're working together." Jax said with one of his smiles. Happy knew that when he had that smile, he had a great idea.

Happy had all respect for Clay, he was smart, but not as smart as Jax. Clay was more prone to violence and tended to see that as a solution to most problems. Jax didn't dodge violence, but he usually had smarter solutions or used the violence in a sneakier way.

Jax explained the plan and by the end they all had huge smiles on their faces.

"Jackie-boy, that is just fucking brilliant." Chibs laughed.

"Ok, we're going with that plan. Happy, I need you on a quick run for a few days and then you take care of the business here." Clay said with a smile.

"Sure, Prez." A few days away would probably be good for Al as well. He had done the STD-exam, he fucking wished he hadn't, that was some crazy fucking shit. Thanks to Doc he got the results faster than usual but they still hadn't had sex and it was over a week.

The day before Mia had arrived, he had expected her to give him dirty looks but she had totally surprised him, telling him that she knew the difference between sex and fucking. She didn't like what he had done and had continued by telling him that if he ever hurt Al again she would put her whips to proper use for once. He had been so stunned and had finally just started laughing.

"We need to check out that warehouse as well, I think it's the Mayans who has it, despite the white boys they have for guards." Juice had found a warehouse that, through complicated constellations, turned out to be owned by the Mayans.

"We need distractions, that can keep the guards off just long enough for us to have a look inside." Opie smiled and then looked at Happy, For a few seconds he was wondering how the hell he would be able to keep some guys distracted, and then it hit him.

Tig started laughing. "We could send the two of them." A few seconds later the entire table was laughing, everyone except Happy. He didn't like it at all.

"I can ask her but I'm sort of in the dog house at the moment." He admitted.

"Still?" Bobby asked. "I though you said she didn't held a grudge."

"She's still a woman." Clays said with a smile. "Wait till you've been married for as long as I have. Between the fucks you practically live in that fucking dog house."

"Just ask her, say it's for the club, Mia would probably do it just for the hell of it." Jax said.

They got out and Tara, Mia and Al were sitting around the bar. He walked up and when she put her arm around his waist he kissed her hair.

"Mia and Al, we kind of need your help." Jax said with a huge smile. "We need you two to distract some guys. Nothing serious, we just need to have a look inside a house and they're probably on the lookout for big bearded guys."

"Ohhhhhhhh, this will be so much fun." Mia said while clapping her hands, she apparently didn't need anymore information than that. Not that Happy was surprised, his redhead was crazy but Mia took crazy to another galaxy.

Alice looked at Mia and just shook her head. Of course she thought it sounded fun, this was right up Mia's alley. Jax took them into the chapel and explained what they needed, Mia disappear for a while to make some calls after checking the garage, no-one was really sure what she was up to. They decided that they needed to be at the Warehouse three hours later and Mia dragged Alice to her car.

"What are you up to?" Alice finally asked.

"I know exactly what to do, we're going to Gemmas' first, I've made some calls to people I know around here."

"You know people around here?"

"Sure, I have clients from the entire west coast."

Alice hadn't considered that, but of course she did. The place Mia worked at was famous, and she was one of the best.

Happy was sitting with Clay, Chibs and Bobby on a hill, overlooking the warehouse entrance. His phoned beeped and when he looked at it there was a text from Al, 'There in five'.

Five minutes later a red Bugatti stopped in front of the warehouse.

"This can't be good." Bobby said and they all picked up their binoculars and looked towards the car.

Two women in bitch heels, short skirts and very low cut tops walked out of the car. It took Happy a couple of seconds to figure out that the black haired woman was Mia, and that would mean...

"Oh shit!" Chibs said next to him and then started to laugh, he picked up his cell. "You're good to go."

The two guard practically flew out of their booth and walked up to the women, Happy's binoculars were glued to his face. There was no mistaking it, she was flirting like crazy with the guard, he didn't even have to hear what they were saying. Judging by the attention they were getting from the guards, they could probably have rolled in a tank behind them. Or dropped a bomb.

"Jesus, they are really working those guards." Clay said and Happy could hear the smile. He had never seen her in clothes like that, not even anything close to clothes like that. In combination with the fact that they hadn't had sex in a while and watching her flirt with another guy, he wasn't sure if he should get a hard-on or explode out of sheer anger.

About ten minutes later, Clays phone beeped. "Okay Hap, call you're girl, get them out of there."

He called her up, still looking through the binoculars.

"Jooohnnyyyyy!" She screamed when she answered the phone. "We're like totally lost but these reeeaaallllyyyy cute guys are helping us."

"You can get out of there." He groaned.

"Ok, where did you say that that party was?" She sounded blasted, drunk out of her mind.

"Just get the fuck out of there, now!" He was still looking at her, swaying with her hips, leaning forward to give the fucker full view of her cleavage.

"Ok, wait a sec, Johnny, I have map in the car." She leaned inside of the car, practically shoving her ass in the guards face and he definitely took advantage of the situation. "Ok, I think I've found it on the map."

"Oh, I'm going to get you for that." He groaned again and the others were laughing their ass off.

"Mia, Johnny gave me directions so we can go now." She hung up the phone and he watched her climb into the car and Mia followed.

When Hap jumped out of the van Alice was sitting on a bench, waiting for him. He walked up to her and just roamed her with his eyes.

"Where the fuck did you get those clothes?"

"Where do you think?"

"Mia?" He walked up to her and kept looking at her.

"Like it?" She knew he did, it was quite obvious.

He put his arms around her and pulled her closer, kissing her, with emphasis. She responded, the look on his face had turned her on and she wanted him, she was tired of being angry so she took his hand and walked towards the club house.

"Where are we going?"

"Your room."

When they got inside he just looked at her for a while. "If you'e seriously planing to be alone with me and wear that you better be prepared to have sex with me."

She just laughed and he pushed her against the wall and when his hand ran up the inside of her thighs and pushed her panties to the side she couldn't hold back a moan. He pulled her closer and kissed him.

"Clean?" She asked while unbuttoning his jeans. She assumed he was but wanted to make sure.

"As a whistle." He said and pushed his fingers inside of her. Her head fell backwards towards the wall and she couldn't stop a loud moan. She had missed him, all of him. "I've missed this."

She pulled him down and kissed him while pulling down his pants.

"I want you, Hap." She murmured and felt him smile.

Happy couldn't wait another second and pulled her panties down, put his hands on her ass and lifted her up. She reached down between them and steered him right and he practically slammed himself inside of her.

"Jesus fucking Christ, Al!" He leaned his head against her shoulder and couldn't move for a few seconds. It was that good.

A while later she was was staring at the ceiling with a slight smile on her lips "So, forty two?" .

"Yup."

She turned towards him, just looking at him for a while. "I think you might be the first guy I'm with who's over forty."

"Think?" He was smiling and finally turned his head an looked at her.

"It's not like I've ask every guy how old he was before having sex with him."

Happy pulled her closer and kissed her again. "Are we ok?"

"Yes."

"The cops are here." Tig screamed while he was banging at the door. "They want to talk to Al."

Alice got up put on some clothes and walked outside and saw lieutenant Roosevelt at the bar. She walked up to him and took the cup of coffee from Bobby.

"So, you're Alice Sedgwick."

"Yes."

"I have a report from two guards at the Millstone warehouse that two women, a redhead and a black haired, stopped and talked to them last night. Your name was mentioned."

"Yes, we did, it was me and my friend Mia." She smiled at him. "We were lost."

"Driving a red Bugatti?"

"Yes."

She noticed him looking at someone behind her and that his mouth fell slightly open. As she had assumed, Mia came up next to her.

"Officer." Mia smiled and took a cup from the bar counter.

"So you're Mia?" He shook his head and looked down at the note book he had in his hand. "The red Bugatti you were driving, it wouldn't be the one standing outside?"

"Of course not." Mia said with some surprise in her voice. "That's been handed in for repair, it would be illegal for us to drive it privately."

"I'm sure you would be able to tell me who's car you were driving."

"Of course. It was John Landons car."

"John Landon? As in Landon construction in Oakland?" He had disbelief in his voice and face. It was obvious that he didn't believe her.

"That would be the one." Mia nodded. "I can give you his number if you'd like to call him. We were going to him for a party, his family has a cottage here in the area and he was throwing a party for some of his friends yesterday. That was where we were going."

Alice drank the coffee, looking down at the floor, she could hardy contain her laughter. Mia had told her their story yesterday. She had of course planed it all to perfection. If the good lieutenant called John he would give him the same story and the number to some of his friends who would swear that they had been there the night before. And that they had been late since they were lost.

"Well, I guess you have covered all the bases." Roosevelt said as he got up from his chair. "It was a pleasure to meet you two ladies."

"It was a pleasure to meet you too." Alice said and shook his hand. When he had walked outside she turned towards the men, standing behind them.

"Are you two for real?" Tig laughed as he caught Mia and gave her a hug.

"I have very loyal customers."

"I bet you do, baby. You're worth almost any trouble." He said and gave her a kiss.

"He'll probably have more questions. He's not done with us." Alice said.

"No he's not." Chibs said. "I'm sure you'll do fine."

Happy couldn't take his eyes of her. Crazy fucking bitch! And then he turned his eyes to Mia. She was even more crazy, but smart. She had set this entire thing up in a matter of hours. A flawless, very rich witness, a car that would taunt the police in a very annoying way and a perfect excuse for them to be in the area that they were. He knew of the cottage, it wasn't far off.

"If you two ever plan on getting in business on the wrong side of the law, let me know." Bobby said. "I'll make sure to get out of town in good time."

"You two are fucking unbelievable." Juice was shaking his head.

"Don't you think for a second that you can make this into a habit." Al was pointing at them. "I'm not going to do this often."

"I'm game, just let me know when you need my help." Mia laughed.

"Of course you are." Al shook her head. "Crazy ho!" Happy raised his eyebrows at Al's comment, he looked at Mia but she just laughed.

"Dirty mech!"

Happy caught Al and hugged her. "Thank you!"

"Thank her." She said and nodded towards Mia. "It was all her."

"Thank you." He said and gave Mia a hug.

"Pay me back my working harder on those never's." She whispered. "And be nice to my girl."

A week later Alice was having breakfast while listening to the news when Happy walked inside the kitchen. Leaning against the counter he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"They found a body by the building site in Charming." she and looked at him to see his reaction.

"Really?" He was impossible to read, as usual. She had a feeling, well, more than a feeling that he knew quite a lot about it. She walked up to him and ran her hand along his right side and felt the new happy face. Then she kissed him.

She had noticed it the night before but hadn't commented on it and now he just looked at her. She saw him waiting for her to ask. But she wouldn't, she didn't want to and finally he just kissed her forehead and sat down at the table.

"I'll have quite a few runs the coming months." He said as he picked up the paper. "I'm leaving for the next one tomorrow."

"Ok." A couple of days earlier he had been back from the other one. She hated it and she worried, she hadn't asked but he knew that she was wondering. Worrying about other women.

"Don't worry."

"Ok." She sat down in front of him and started eating her breakfast again.

He looked at her and finally put the paper back on the table. "Are you really not going to ask me any questions?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Happy, I don't want to know. Not until..."

"Until, what?" He suddenly sounded annoyed.

"I don't know. Until we know what this is. You and me."

"I know what this is." He was definitely annoyed and she didn't want to fight.

"You know what I mean." She tried to avoid his look and finally he let her off the hook. "I'll miss you."

"What?" As she suspected that took him off guard.

"When you're away, I'll miss you."

He looked at her with raised eyebrows and finally smiled at her. "Good."

He had done his job. The Mayan body was at the border of Charming Heights. It showed the Mayans and Hale that they knew they were working together. It would also scare the investors, he had to give it to Jax; he knew what he was doing. He always knew hot to get maximum effect with a minimum of risk and violence. Brains before bullets, the kid really knew what it meant.

It was the end of March, five months and he still couldn't fucking get enough of her. It might be that there was a lot of runs and he was away for days at a time. They talked everyday but it felt like he missed her a little more every time he was away. The last couple of months, missing her, had made him realize that it was time. He was going to make her his officially old lady. It was just a matter of convincing her to get that tattoo.

More runs meant more money and more time away. But they were usually just for a couple of days, maximum five days. This was a long one, he was in New York and was sitting at a café with Alex.

"How's Alice?"

"Good."

"Appreciate you calling me, mom wanted to see you as well. Wanted to take more pictures of you."

"I can't this time."

"Ok, give her a call though."

"I will."

"You said you wanted my help?" Alex said with a smile. Happy pulled the papers from his pocket.

He got home at lunch time and prepared for his plans. Then he just wandered the house, waiting for her. The second she walked through the door he had her pinned against the wall.

"Missed me?" She whispered in his ear and wrapped her legs around his waist.

He took a deep breath. "I want to do something." He felt terrified. He couldn't even remember the last time he was scared of anything.

"Oh, something naughty?" She smiled.

"Yes, that too. Absolutely, but I want to do something else first."

"What?"

He took a deep breath and looked her right into the eyes. "I want to make you and official Old Lady."

She looked at him carefully. "You want to make a crow tattoo on me?"

"Yes, but not like the other once. I have something special in mind for you."

"Good. Where do you want to make it?" Well, she still hadn't said no. He put her down on the floor and took her right arm and pointed on the inside, close to the elbow.

"Here." She looked at were he was pointing then back up at him.

"Ok."

"Ok?"

"Yes."

"Wow, I was prepared for a flat out war about it."

"I know you were." She smiled and kissed him. "Now?"

"Yes. I have prepared a room upstairs."

He was genuinely shocked, he had a million arguments ready for why she should agree to it. He had never thought it would be this easy. But she took of her jacked and walked upstairs and sat down in the chair he had prepared.

"You knew I would agree?"

"I didn't think it would be this easy."

"Can I see the design?"

He picked it up and gave it to her, carefully watching her face as she looked at it. It was a celtic raven, shape as a circle and in one of the claws it was holding a smiley face. The coloring was similar to the one in her current tattoo. She smiled when she saw it.

"It's beautiful Happy, did you do this?"

"I co-designed it."

"With who?"

"Alex." She looked at him with big eyes.

"My Alex?"

"Yes, I thought he would know what you liked, I said I wanted something celtic and something with a smiley face. And we came up with this. The colors will match the ones on your dog."

She cradled his face, "Thank you, Hap."

He kissed her. "Thank you."

He shaved the area, wet the tracing paper on her arm, and then he started.

"Shit, I had forgotten how this felt." She said.

He just smiled.

A couple of hours later he was done. She looked at it while he was cleaning it and put a fat lotion on it before taping the plastic.

"It's really beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it." He turned around to clean up.

"What's that?" He heard her gasp behind him.

Alice hadn't thought she would be so easily persuaded to do this. She had a feeling it was coming and was prepared to argue against it. But when he asked... she couldn't say no. And when he said it wouldn't be the usual crow, she realized that he wasn't doing this just to brand her as his for everyone else to see.

When she saw the design she almost choked up. It fitted her dog perfectly. He had obviously listened when she explained why she didn't want any more tattoos. With the coloring he had chosen it was as if it was done at the same time. The fact that he had asked her brother proved that he knew her. He knew that it would be like asking her. And that her brother had helped him also choked her up a bit. That was Alex' way of telling her that he was ok with this.

Then the real shock came, when he turned around and she saw the back of his neck. There was a new tattoo there, not big at all, but it was there, for everyone to see.

"What's that?" She practically pressed out due to lack of air in her lungs.

"It's a new tattoo." He didn't turn around and she moved closer to see it better.

It was a small celtic dog, lying to the left of his spine, facing left, just above his back piece. It was beautiful, and she knew it was for her.

"Why?" It was the only thing she could say.

"Well, you being all feminist and bitchy, I thought it would be the right thing to do. I was going to use it as an argument in the discussion, but you were surprisingly easy to persuade." He turned around and smiled at her. Then it hit her.

"Alex did it."

"Yes, I thought it was appropriate. Having your other half do it." She was stunned, the thought he had put into this! She wasn't sure what to do, so she simply put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"You like it then?" He smiled at her.

"I do."

"Good, Alex promised me I could break his arm if you didn't. I would hate to do that to him. It would really piss you off."

"You've managed to make me break another one of my 'never's'." She smiled.

"Two left." He said while kissing her.

"Three."

"Yeah. I'll let you keep the never have children."

"Good. I think we would be pretty shitty parents." The kisses got deeper. "Happy."

"Yes."

"Please fuck me, it's been six days."

Another fucking run, this time to Tacoma. He had left early in the morning, too early for a proper wake up of Al, but he kissed her goodbye and stroke her tattoo. It had healed up completely, and it did work well with her other one. It didn't 'mess it up'.

Juice, Opie and Kozik were with him and they were sitting in a diner not too far from Tacoma and Happy was standing outside alone, smoking.

"You ok?" Juice asked and handed him a paper cup with coffee.

"Yeah." he nodded. "It's just been a lot of runs lately."

Juice smiled. "You didn't have to go on this one, Clay said it was ok."

"Yeah, I know, but it was a chance to visit Tacoma. I'll skip the next one."

"I saw the tattoo you did on Al. It's really good."

"Thanks."

"Are you ok with the two of us, you know..." Juice was looking at him cautiously.

"Having nerd discussions?"

Juice only nodded, still looking at him.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. She works with you, can't have her walk around all day, not talking to anyone."

"Just wanted to make sure."Juice explained. "I mean, I like her, but... not like that. And she's a lot of fun."

"Like I said; don't worry about it. I know she's close to some of you. I also know that none of you would step over the line. You all knew I would kill you in a very painful way."

He was ok with it, he had watched them talk before and after they fucked the first time. She liked Juice, but that was it. And like he said. They worked together, she worked with all of his brothers. They new the boundaries and they loved her, would do anything for her. That made him feel calmer as well. He did appreciate Juice asking him thought. It was the right thing to do.

"Yeah, we do, Still, thanks man."

"Besides, if I told you that you couldn't talk to her, she'd kick my ass."

"Yeah, probably." Juice laughed. "She doesn't really take any shit."

"No, she doesn't."

It was after church party in Tacoma. He was standing with Kozik, Lorca and Donut when Lee came up to him and put his arms around his shoulders.

"How you doin' Killer?"

"Good, all good."

"Heard rumors about you." He smiled.

"Rumors?"

"Yeah, that you've taken yourself and Old Lady."

"Yeah. I did."

"She must be something."

"Oh, she's something alright." Kozik laughed.

"You know her?" Lorca asked. "Tell us!"

"You know her too." Happy said to Lorca.

"I do?" Lorca looked surprised. "Didn't think you'd ever go for a Crow Eater. I mean, the Charming ones are nice but..."

"She's not a Crow Eater. It's Alice Sedgwick." Kozik looked at Lorca with raised eyebrows. Lorca, Lee and Donut all started to laugh.

"Shit!" Lee finally said. "Well. I can see how that would be worth the ink."

"What the fuck! Didn't she have that rule?" Donut looked confused.

"She did." Happy agreed.

Lorca just laughed, "As far as I remember she was more than a handful. I bet she's worth it though."

"She is." Happy nodded. Boy, was she ever!

"Well, I guess Charming would be the next stop if you want some proper work done on your bike then?" Lorca continued. "I'm assuming she won't be leaving anytime soon.

"No, she won't" No way in hell was she leaving.

They sat down around a table, some Crow Eaters were circling and he recognized one of them, looking at him intently. A blond, with big tits and blue eyes. She had been one of his favorites when he lived here. He took a closer look and quickly realized that he wasn't tempted at all right now. He looked away and kept talking to Lee.

"You'd be most welcome back you know."

"Thanks, I'm not interested right now, but It's nice to know."

Lee looked up on the blond Crow Eater, handing them drinks, trying to catch Happy's eyes.

"How did she end up in Charming, Alice, was it with Alan or Alex?"

"She's an old friend of Jax's old lady. She left her husband and needed somewhere to wind down."

"Small world." Lee smiled. "She was married when she was here. Her dad said it wasn't very good, that's why she came with him."

Happy just nodded.

"You know, I don't think Lorca or Donut was here at the time but she's been here before, I think she was about fifteen. I think you were a member, but you might have been away."

"She was here?"

"Yeah, hang on." Lorca started to look around in the room and finally waved to Vic, one of the oldest members and he came up to them.

"Hey, Killer." he said and patted Happy on the shoulder.

"Do you remember when Al was here the first time?"

"Yeah, she'd been arrested for something and her dad brought here for a while, keeping her away from the big city."

"I don't remember that." Happy said. "Wait, that must have been around 97, I was doing time then."

"Yeah, that's right."

"I hear she's in Charming now, working at TM." Vic pulled up a chair and sat down.

"She sure is." Lee said. "She's also Happy's Old Lady."

Vic looked at him. "Wow, as far as I can remember she was crazy as fuck."

Happy laughed. "Sometimes."

"Take care of her, she's crazy but a really nice girl." Vic said with a serious look.

"What was she up too when she was here the first time?" He had a feeling that both Vic and Lee could tell him some nice stories about her.

Happy went to bed, alone. The blond had be hovering around him all fucking night, finally he asked Kozik to take her away, and he was happy to oblige. He was surprised at how easy it had been to not fuck her. On the other hand, they had spent most of the time that evening talking about Al. Vic and Lee had told him stories about her when she was here. He looked at the clock, 3 AM so it was midnight there. She was probably asleep. Then he thought, fuck it, and picked up the prepaid and dialed her number.

"Hallo?" He smiled, her husky voice sent a shiver down his spine.

"Hi, Katze, Sleeping?"

"Yeah. What time is it?"

"It's only midnight there." He could hear her yawn and then she moaned, probably doing her kitten-stretch.

"Miss me?" she asked, slightly more awake now.

"Well, sort of horny, and since I can't get laid on the runs anymore I thought you could get me off by the phone."

"I can buy you a soft lotion and put it in your backpack next time you go."

"Oh, I'd like that." he smiled. "I've heard about the first time you were in Tacoma."

She lauged softly. "Yeah, dad wanted me to stay out of trouble for the summer break. When did you join?"

"Patched in 93"

"Were you there when I was there?"

"No, I was doing time then."

"Oh." That was all she said, and the she got quiet. He knew were that mind of hers was going.

"Don't worry, Katze."

"Sorry." They had never talked about it, that he might do time again. He would be doing his best to stay out of jail, but he couldn't guarantee anything, and she was smart enough to know that.

"It's ok. I just wanted to call."

"You did miss me! Say it!"

"Just horny, not that I hear you talking dirty to me."

"In your dreams Killer."

"We do a lot more than talking in my dreams, bitch."

"Well, if you hurry home I'll give you a blow job."

"Oh."

"And maybe, if you're really nice, I'll let you fuck me. If you're not nice I'll fuck you."

"Oh, decisions, decisions, fuck or be fucked."

"You've got some time to think about it."

Little redhead was teasing him, and it was working, he was hard. He decided push her, see how far he could go.

"Sure do, any chance I can take you on a ride on my bike?"

"You wanna fuck your bitch on your bitch?" He could hear her smiling, fuck he loved this girl. "If you bend me over I might actually be able to tune it up at the same time."

That made him laugh out loud. "You are one crazy bitch, you know that?"

"It has been mentioned before."

"I'm sure it has. But you're on to something, If you bring the oil I might use it to visit the backdoor."

"No, you might not."

"Sure about that?"

"Very." The teasing tone in her voice was all of a sudden gone.

"Hang on, you've got that voice."

"No I don't."

"And you are seriously avoiding this topic."

She didn't even answer him. And he started to laugh out loud and could hardly stop when he figured it out.

"Busted! That's another one of your 'never's'."

"Fuck!"

"Tell me." He said with his sweetest voice.

"Yes, never take it up the ass."

"Didn't that Joshua guy" -The one he was thinking about finding and killing for what he did to her - "do that."

"I didn't take it, he shoved it, it doesn't count."

"Oh my, now there's only one left that I don't know what it is." He was so please that he had called her.

"I think I'm going to hang up now."

"This one is going to require some work from me, isn't it."

"It's not going to happen."

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Ok."

"And Al."

"Yeah?"

"I do miss you." Then he hung up.
