The next day at the beach house Jill stood leaning against the doorframe as she looked out to the beach.
She jumped slightly at the hand on her shoulder. "Penny?"
"I was just thinking of that day when Kris was shot. I saw her lying there covered in blood, I felt my heart nearly stop."
Kelly stood and waited for her friend to continue. She had a feeling that it was something that Jill had to get off her chest. "I remember you leaving not long after that."
Taking a sip of her coffee, "Yeah. I had the offer a month or so before and I didn't know what to do. But once I knew Kris was ok I told Charlie I was leaving and that I hoped he would consider Kris for my spot on the team. She actually got better marks in a lot of the courses at the academy then I did." Pausing a moment, "He said he already had as he some how knew I would be leaving. It was also for my own peace of mind,. I knew at least here she would be safe and that you and Bri would watch out for her."
"She's like my own little sister. One I wish I had."
Jill looked at Kelly, "You want her?" she gave a small smile.
Kelly laughed knowing that Jill wouldn't give up her sister for anything. "So we think it's the same man that was busted that night."
"Stenson? It sounds like it but he should still be in jail." Jill said as she went back in the house and sat on the couch.
"Well hopefully Charlie will have some answers on that soon. Bri went out to get some breakfast. I'm going to grab a shower before Kris gets up and wants one."
"Ok. And thanx Kel."
"For what?"
"Listening."
Kelly put her hand on Jill's knee. "That's what friends are for." She got off the couch and started down the hall.

Charlie read over the file again before picking up the receiver of his phone. "Bosley we have a problem."
"What is it Charlie?" there was something in his tone that Bosley picked up on. Something that worried him.
"According to my information and my source at the police station. The man that Kris helped put away is still in jail "
"So who is it then Charlie. Everything that is going on indicates Stenson."
"I don't know Bosley and that is what worries me. We are back to square one in that we have no idea who it is."

He stood waiting for to him seemed like an eternity. He didn't even move as he watched the man next to him, "Mac settle down will you."
"I just want to get this over with. I mean in broad daylight. This is a bit risky isn't after what happened last night to Lou. The cops are probably all over this place."
"No more so then any other job we've pulled." He stepped away from the van. "Let do this before the other one gets back here."
Mac got out of the van and followed.
"If we do this right everything will go smoothly." He said as he quietly walked up the stairs to the beach house.

Louie sat watching the end of a football game as he cleaned his gun at the same time.
"It still amazes me how you can do that without even looking."
"It's a gift. The men are in place just so you know. By tonight all you troubles will be over."
"I hope so. But I want to be there. I want Ms Munroe to see me before she dies."
"Which one?" Louie looked up at his boss.
Mr Stenson sat beside his lieutenant on the couch. "They both caused me pain. They both caused me to lose everything. Jill knew what she was doing when she met me in the bar that night. And Kris was the one in the end who saw to it that I was unable to escape that night."
"I take blame for her sir. I should have never brought them back with us once we knew they were cops. I should have taken care of them at the time."
"No Louie it wasn't your fault. You saw the beauty in both of them and knew would could have made a great deal of money." Mr Stenson leaned forward towards the TV and the game. "No this is their fault. And they will pay. Years of smuggling woman out of the country, in return for cocaine. It was a very profitable business. One that was very lucrative then and could be now. Tonight that will all be settled with the deaths of the Munroe sisters."

As Sabrina was getting in her car with an arm full of breakfast take out the phone rang. Placing everything on the seat beside her she picked up the phone. "Sabrina."
"Bri its Bosley. look Charlie just uncovered a small piece of the puzzle. I'm heading over to Jill and Kris's now."
"Ok, I'm on my way back there now. Kelly is still there."
"Perfect I'll see you in a few minutes then." Bosley hung up the phone as he made his way through the morning LA traffic.

Jill turned the page on another magazine when she looked up. "Hey sleepy."
"Hi." Kris sat down and leaned against her sister.
Jill picking up on Kris' silence and motion draped her arm around her younger sister, "We'll work it out Kris. Don't we always?"
"Yeah. This is just so weird. I mean if that guy is still in jail or shoud be, who is it?"
"I don't know but we have four good friends watching our back."
"Not to mention Bill.
"Yeah him too." Jill pushed her sister up, "Come on, help me set the table Bri should be back soon with breakfast."
Kris got off the couch, "Where's Kelly?"
"Shower. She figured she'd get one before you got up and wanted one."
There was no warning, no sounds heard, "Then I suggest we get going before your friend gets back and the other one gets out of the shower."
Jill spun around to see two men standing at her doorway, both with a gun in their hand. She saw them and saw where her purse was and thought for that one split second.
"I wouldn't think about that Ms Munroe." he moved into the house getting closer to Kris, "As much as I have been paid to bring you in alive and unhurt. I will not hesitate to use this. Now lets go."
Kris gave Jill a 'what now' look before she felt the hand grip her arm
"Now!"
Jill quickly followed from around the counter as one man grabbed Kris and pulled her towards the door.
The two sister walked down the steps of their house not making a scene. Neither one wanting to get the other hurt. Getting in the van they had to count on their friends finding them.

Sabrina pulled in the driveway at the same time as Bosley did.
"Got enough there for five?"
"Always Bosley you know that. What you got?"
"Nothing good." He reached and took one of the bags from Sabrina as the two of them started up the stairs.
"Hey breakfast is here?" Sabrina called out to the house.
Kelly came from down the hall. "Perfect timing I'm starving." She stopped and looked around. "Where's Jill?"
"Just got back. Shower?"
"No that's where I was. Kris was still asleep so I took one before she got up."
Sabrina and Kelly shared a looked before Kelly turned back towards Kris' bedroom. Coming right back out, "She isn't there."
Sabrina had gone to the balcony when Kelly went to Kris' room. "No one on the balcony either."
Bosley looked at the two Angels before him. "This can't be good."
