(Flash Back Paragraph)

When he finally makes it to the door, Vic has grabbed up Henry's file and has her keys in hand. When he opens the door, Cady is standing at the door, worry evident on her face. "Dad is everything okay? I only have a second, but wanted to come by and catch you up on…" She trailed off as she saw Vic. "Oh, hey."

Vic had a confident smile on her face when Cady noticed her. "Hey Cady. I was fixing to head out to meet you at the Red Pony."

"Oh?" her look of confusion quickly turned to one of understanding. "That's right! Henry had mentioned that."

Closing the door, Walt followed Cady over to where she was standing in the middle of the room, seeing where they had beers out. "Henry mentioned what, Cady?"

Her attention snapped back to him. "Hmm? Oh, that since Victoria's house burned down, she had been staying with you."

Usually, he had no problem trusting his daughter. However, whether it was the fact that not five minutes ago Vic had been straddling his lap, or the fact that both his daughter and Henry could read him like a book sometimes, he had a feeling that wasn't all that had been said. "He didn't say anything else?"

Cady dawned her usual smile, the one that meant she was hiding something. "Well he also mentioned how she pinned a guard to the wall," she turned her attention to Vic. "But I can't really blame you for that one. Those guards are letting him get beat. They deserve it."

Vic nodded her agreement. "That's a damn fact. So, did you want to do those papers now…or?"

She looked between her dad and Vic. "Well, I don't care. It's up to you. However, due to attorney-client privilege, you actually have to say we can do it in front of dad. Are you okay with that?"

Not taking time to even consider, she answered. "Of course. Won't bother me at…" Her ringer cut her off. "One second."

She answered. "This is Vic."

Ruby spoke in a hushed tone. "Hey, Vic. Walt wanted me to let him know before Lizzie was allowed in his office again. She is being pretty adamant that she needs to see him. Can you get him for me?"

It was obvious to Walt, but Cady didn't see it; the anger flushing Vic's cheek and dark, heated red. "I'll be right there Ruby." Before Ruby could answer, she hung up. "I'm sorry Cady, Walt. Looks like I have to run down to the station."

Clearing his throat, Walt took an instinctive step toward her. "Everything all right?"

She spoke as she angrily yanked her keys from her pocket. "Will be soon. Gotta go deal with this once and for all."

Cady, not sensing the tension radiating off Vic, slid straight into lawyer mode. "That's fine. We can meet up sometime tomorrow if that will work better for you."

Pulling out her best smile, Vic turned to Cady before she went out the door. "That would be great. Thanks so much for this again. I owe you one."

When Cady just smiled in return, Vic shut the door, storming to her truck and flying off.

Cady turned her attention back to her father, who for the most part, had been quiet thus far. "Dad, what's going on? Seriously."

Scratching his head, he does the only thing that he can think of to buy himself more time. "What are you talking about? It's like Henry told ya. She is staying her cause her house got burned down."

She huffed as she watched him, trying to read him. "Dad, that's not all Henry said. He also said how something had obviously changed between you and Vic, and he was right. Now tell me what is going on. Do you like her?"

He looked up, seeing his daughter looking directly at him. "Cady, it's not so…"

She held up her hand, stopping him. "No dad. Don't you dare say it's not so easy. Cause it is. Either you like her or you don't." Walt slumped down into his chair, resting his head in his hands. Realizing how much has been weighing on her father; Cady steps forward, patting her hand on his shoulder. "Dad, I'm sorry. I know a lot is going on, but it won't be fair to either of you if you aren't able to even say it to me."

He looked up to her, seeming weaker than she had seen him before. "Cady, I haven't felt this way about anyone since your mother. I don't know what I'm supposed to tell you though."

She smiled, kissing the top of his head. "That was enough, dad. That's all you had to say."

He watched as she headed toward the door. "Wait, where are you going?"

Turning, she looked back at him. "Going to see how Branch is doing. He has been trying to hurry up and get back to work, so I may have to help the nurses some."

He stood, walking over to her. "Could I use your phone real fast? I need to see what the call from work was about."

She laughed as she pulled out her phone. "Dad, I swear. You have really got to get a phone. Here."

Quickly dialing Ruby's number, Walt waited, listening to the ringing. Counting the rings. Finally there was an answer. It was a little hard to hear over the screaming in the background though. "Walt?"

"Yea, Ruby. It's me. What's going on?" He had already walked over to his counter, getting his keys.

Her voice seemed rushed, obviously trying to talk over the background noise. "Walt, you need to get here. Now."

He opened the door, walking past Cady and standing on the porch. "All right. I'm on my way now." He closes the phone, handing it back to her. "Thanks. I will see you later punk."
