Several days later Jill sat up on the bed once again with her sister.

"You ok?" Jill asked seeing her sister in deep thought.

"Yeah. I'm just thinking on all of this. Wondering how it got this far."

"Greed, corruption. Who knows." Jill answered but then quickly changed the subject. "So, you ready to go home?"

Kris looked up at Jill with a smile, "Oh yeah."

Jill laughed at Kris. For as long as she could remember her little sister hated everything about hospitals. Of course that hate only got worse with their fathers illness and eventual death. And followed not that many years later by their mother

"How's Kelly?" Kris asked as she leaned against Jill.

"Kelly is just fine." Kelly said as she walked in the room with the aid of a pair of crutches.

"Kel should you...?" Kris started to ask seeing her friend walking.

"It's fine. I've been doing all the necessary exercises and the doctor said I should get walking on it with the aid of the crutches. Don't worry Kris. Now we need to get you up and out of here as well."

Kris continued to lean against Jill as she saw Kelly walking across the room. Right behind her was Sabrina. She was still scared on everything that was going on but at least now they were all healing

As Jill and Kelly limped along on their crutches beside Kris, as Sabrina wheeled her from the hospital, Kris asked the inevitable, "So what's the plan? We know now who ever are after Jill and I are also after Kelly and probably Sabrina too."

"We've thought of that and so has Charlie. Until we are all 100% we all stick together. Charlie wants us to stay at one of his houses." Sabrina explained.

"If we are all together sounds like we are easier targets." Kelly put in as they walked out of the hospital.

"I agree with Kelly. I don't think us all being together is such a good idea." Jill agreed. Maybe teams of two would be better. She was thinking it but was gong to hate every minute of her next thought. "And I think with each team Kris and I should split up."

Kris looked at Jill shocked her sister would even suggest splitting up now. She stood up fro the wheelchair the hospital provided and held Jill's gaze.

"Kris you know I'm right as much as we both hate it. Someone wants us dead and to know answers we don't even have. Its better this way." Jill said as she looked at her sister with love.

Kris looked at Jill as she explained what her thoughts were. She didn't like it or agree but she knew Jill was right.

Sabrina could see Jill's logic but she had to disagree. "I don't know Jill. That makes it even easier. He gets say, you and Kelly. Now Kris is left worried about you both. And he has Kelly to hold against you."

Jill pinched the inside of her nose. There was no easy answer no true answer. She looked up at Kris and could see she was thinking the same thing. "So maybe we should go about what we always do, it's worked in the past." Jill finally said. She didn't want to let Kris out of her sight not after everything in the last month or so but she wanted her sister safe too.

"I think that's best. We go home at night following the same routine we always do. Sooner or later someone is going to slip up and maybe well get answers." Sabrina said as she looked at her three friends.

Kris and Jill got in the back seat of the company station wagon as Kelly and Sabrina took the front with Sabrina driving.

Jill looked at Kris and then up to her two dear friends, "Funny thing; A month ago we wouldn't let Kris out of our site. Now we are all willing to let see how the cards fall."

"Hey I never said that. You know Charlie will have some sort of protection around all of us." Sabrina said from the front seat as they drove towards the office.

"Maybe that's the way to play it. Look like we are open and yet somewhere there is an invisible back up." Kelly said

"Now we just need to convince Charlie of that." Sabrina told them as she pulled against the curb.

Jill looked at Kris and then to Kelly. Sabrina hadn't said much about them going to the house or splitting into teams. She had a feeling her friend had been doing some thinking since she got out of the hospital a few days before the rest of them slowly did.

Jill watched as Sabrina walked towards the office and she turned and looked over the car roof at Kris, who was standing next Kelly on the other side, "What isn't she telling us?"
"I don't know. Come on lets go find out." Kelly said as she stared towards the office door.

Jill and Kris shared a look as they followed after Kelly, not really knowing what to expect.

Sabrina was standing behind the bar as she saw watched Kelly limp into the office followed shortly after Jill and Kris. She knew her friends, especially Jill, would be mad with Charlie's decision but it was his call and her friends lives were on the line.

She cast a quick glance over at Bill who sat quietly in one of the chairs cross the room. He knew what would happen the minute Charlie told the Angels his plan but he was bent on keeping them all safe. He was still in love with his ex-wife and her friends meant the world to him and he was determined to keep them safe as well.

Jill walked in the office right beside Kris and immediately saw Bill sitting in one of the chairs. She didn't say anything but knew deep inside why he was there. She cast a glare over at Sabrina before sitting on the couch next to Kelly.

"What's going on Bosley?" Kelly asked the question that three of them didn't know the answer to. But she cast a look over at Sabrina as well. Though her friend didn't look very happy

"I'll let Charlie explain." Bosley said at the same time the phone rang.. Hitting the speaker phone button right away he avoided the Angels eyes. "Hello Charlie."

"Hello Bosley. Angels. I hope you are all feeling better."

"Lots better Charlie, but we would be even better if we knew what was going on?" Jill said as she looked at the box on the desk to her unseen boss.

There was a slight pause in Charlie's reply, "I'm assigning you all a body guard."

The looks around where the same four faces of anger.

"Charlie I really don't think." Kelly started.

"Look I care about you all very much. And it seems that someone wants some sort of information from Jill and Kris that they don't have. Until we figure more of this out, I don't want any of you alone. Bill has already made the arrangements with the local police department."

Sabrina looked between her friends she had known they would be angry she had been when Charlie and Bosley had first told her his idea. That was after she had told them they would not go into hiding at one of his houses.

"Charlie," Jill started, "I think I can speak for everyone in that we don't need someone to watch over us. I already had this argument with Sabrina a few months ago when someone was out to get Kris or myself."

"It's not a point we are going to argue Angel. It's decided. And in the mean time, I also want you and Kris separated."

Kris looked at her sister, "What? Charlie. Then we will just be worried about the other and not keep our heads on straight."

"Kris you will be staying out at a house I just purchased down at the beach, you won't be that far from each other." He said knowing the arguments he would have even before he called the office. "It's done Angels. I'll let Bill fill you in on the details. In the mean time Bosley and I will keep looking into the whereabouts of Mr. Demeaux. Good bye Angels."

"Good bye Charlie." They all replied together in defeat. They may have been ordered to have someone watch over them but that didn't mean they had to like it or that they would keep trying to get to the bottom of it.

An uneasy silence hung over the office as none of the Angels wanted to discuss with Bill about protection.

"This is ridiculous!" Kris was the first to voice her displeasure as she stood up and made her way to stand in front of the bar next to Sabrina. "We have all had police training and are private detectives. We have all handled situations, on more then one occasion, and we can take care of ourselves."

"Kris." Jill looked at her sister knowing how mad she was, but she also knew it was for the best. At least Jill knew her sister would be safe while she, Sabrina and Kelly figured this out.

"No Jill I know what you are going to say and it's only going to make me madder."

"Kris none of us like this, but maybe Charlie is right. In the mean time we can all figure out parts of the puzzle. It doesn't mean that we can't meet here as we do on a regular day." Sabrina added in

Jill got up and walked over to her sister who she could still tell was fuming. She pulled Kris into a hug, "Kris you scared me once already, twice if you count your little escapade in Canada and not telling me you were hurt." She pulled out of the hug but kept her arms around Kris' waist, "I want you safe and out of harms way."

At first Kris didn't say anything then she pulled herself out of Jill's arms. "I'm not going to let you push me out of this Jill. These guys want you just as bad as me. If I'm of the case; then so are you!"

Jill looked at her sister and then to Sabrina for a little support, "Kris."

"No damn it. Stop treating me like some little kid." She grabbed her purse from the table behind the couch and stormed from the office.

"Kris!" Kelly stood up as she watched Kris leave the office
"No Kelly. Leave her." Jill said as she watched her sister slam the door as she sighed and sat down at one of the bar stools.

Kelly was about to protest but knew that Jill knew her sister enough to know when to let her be.

Kris nearly ran down the stairs and through the front door of the office building. She was so mad at that moment all she could see was red. Her sister had no right to treat her that way. As she stepped hurriedly from the building she didn't see the young women walking towards her and the two collided on that middle of the sidewalk.

Kris, quickly to see her own anger was the fault of the collision, reached for the woman, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry are you alright?"

"Yes I'm fine." she replied though Kris could see she seemed nervous about something.

"Are you sure? You seem sort of distracted."

"No really I'm fine. Um. Do you work here?" she asked Kris pointing up to the Townsend office building.

"Yes why? Do you need help?" Kris looked around the street before looking back to the woman,

"Um maybe. My boyfriend said if ever I got into trouble I should come here. I haven't seen him in a few weeks now and I'm worried. He was into something bad I'm sure."

"Bad like what?"

"I don't know. He was acting very strange the last time I saw him. Said something about having to go away for a little while, but that he would be back. He called and said he was coming home but that was nearly two weeks now." She wiped the tear from her cheek as she started to cry.

"Ok relax. What's your name?" Kris asked knowing that right now this woman was confiding in her and would get what she could before they went back inside and up the office.

"Sara Martinez."

"Hi Sara. I'm Kris. What is your boyfriends name?"

She looked at Kris at first not really knowing if she should trust her, "Louie. Louie Demeaux. He was my fiancé."
