The black sedan sat way up in the hills and watched as Katrina walked out of the house carrying the baby boy with two men following her. He was sent there to watch and report back to his boss. Ted DiBiase Sr blamed Katrina for everything including his daughter's death and vowed revenge. Now, Cody was there with Evan to let Ted know the perfect time. He made notes of everyone he saw. He would find out the names of people in the house and report back.

"It seems she's protected." Evan said to Cody as they sat there.

"Maybe." Cody replied. "We need to find out who the couple is that lives there and their relationship to Katrina and the man raising that baby."

"She as bad as he said?"

"Worse." Cody replied as he started the car and drove off. They had to report back to Ted and go from there with his instructions. But he knew he would want to know who the couple was. "Let's stop in town and see if we can find out who they are."

"Okay." Evan replied as they started toward the town. "Why does he want her so badly?"

"Our job isn't to question why he wants her, it's just to make sure we deliver."

"Alright." He said as they pulled into the diner.

"Okay, we go in and get some food and cautiously ask questions about Mizanin and his family as well as the people who live next door. We have to know everything so we can take her when it's time."

"What about the baby?"

"If it comes to it, we'll take him too." Evan nodded and they headed into the diner. They were seated and waited for the waitress to come over.

"What can I get you guys?" She asked.

"Can we get two burgers with fries and ice tea?" Cody said to her.

"Burgers with everything?" Cody nodded. She walked away and came back their drinks. "Here you go."

"Can I asked you something?" Cody asked.

"Sure."

"Do you know the Mizanin's?"

"Well it's just Mike. He lives at the Double C ranch with his nephew who he's raising. His brother Chris and his wife were killed in an auto accident."

"What about the ranch next door? We are friends of Mike and we're thinking of moving here and the ranch next door is very nice."

"I doubt it's for sale." She laughed. "Mike's sister, Chelsea lives there with her husband, Randy."

"Now why didn't I remember that?"

"Because we have had a long drive from Oklahoma." Evan replied.

"Well, I will be back with your food in a little bit." She said walking away.

"So that was Mizanin's sister's husband we saw."

"Yeah."

"After we eat we will check into a hotel and call and give our report. Once we do that, we will know where to go now. We have to make sure we factor in Mizanin's sister and husband for any plan." Evan nodded as their food arrived and they didn't talk about things while they ate.

Katrina played with Wyatt in the living room and tried to ignore the growing uneasiness in her stomach.

"Everything okay?" Mike asked her. "You seem a million miles away."

"I'm fine." She smiled.

"Really?" He said sitting down on the blanket with her and Wyatt. He smiled as he handed Wyatt a block. "Why don't you tell me what's up?"

"I just have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is going to happen. Something bad."

He looked at her. "Nothing is going to happen."

"I just feel that it might and I can't shake the feeling."

He took her hand. "Hey, nothing is going to happen but if it does, you're not alone. I'm here." He smiled at Wyatt. "And Wyatt is here. We would never let anything happen to you."

"You make it sound like I belong here. Like we're a family."

"We are a family. You're Wyatt's mother. That makes you family." He said to her. "And we all like having you here."

She smiled. "I like being here."

"Good." He smiled.

Cody and Evan checked into a hotel in town and called Ted's lawyer and told him what they found out. He said he would give the message to Ted and then let them know what to do next.

Evan looked up as Cody was cleaning his guns. "You make it seem like we're going to war."

"Kidnapping Katrina O'Neal, we are."

"Going to war with who? You said she didn't really have any family. And The Mizanin's she just met. How hard can it be to take her?"

"It's not the family I'm worried about. It's Katrina herself. She's more dangerous than you realize and when we take her, we're going to have to make sure we take her by surprise. Ambush her. And we use the family and the kid as leverage."

"Alright." Evan agreed. He trusted Cody to know everything about the jobs they were assigned and if he said she was dangerous, she was. Evan looked up from his laptop as Cody's phone rang.

"Yeah." He said when he answered.

"Mr. DiBiase wants you to take her in the next few days. He has everything set up for a warehouse about an hour from your location. He only wants her. Do your best to not harm anyone else or the kid. But if you have to take the kid or anyone else, do it. He has back-up coming. They will be there tomorrow."

"Great. It will be done." Cody said hanging up. "Back-up is coming and we are suppose to take her in the next few days."

"How do we do that?"

"I don't know yet. She had to go into town for things. I mean they can only have so much at the ranch. Or maybe we can trick her into coming into town."

"But wouldn't she come to town with someone?"

"We take them too if we have to. But hopefully she will be alone."

"What's he going to do with her when he gets her?"

"That's not for us to know. We were hired to grab the girl. What he chooses to do, we won't be apart of. That's why he has Brock and Glen."

Evan nodded and went back to his laptop. He didn't want to hurt anyone but he was hired to do a job and he would do it to the best of his ability.

Mike looked up from the couch when Katrina walked back into the room and smiled. She'd been there a month and he found his attraction to her growing.

"So I was thinking I would go into town today. I need to get some things. I was going to see if Chelsea wanted to come."

"I think that's great. I have a few things I need. Can you pick them up?"

"Of course." She smiled and headed upstairs to get dressed. She called Chelsea and she agreed to go with her.

Once she was dressed she headed out leaving Mike and Wyatt at the ranch. Over the last month she had found herself having feelings for Mike and she wanted to talk to Chelsea about them. They scared her as she hadn't felt that way about anyone since Phil. And it was nice to feel that way again.
