Ranger and Stephanie were sitting in the doctor's office. Today was the day she would either get released or told to keep doing what she was doing. The doctor asked her to take her shirt off and she looked over at Ranger. She knew he wasn't about to leave cause he was the one who had been caring for her wound. Steph thought two could play at that game. She stood up turned around and took her shirt off and was standing right in front of Ranger. She knew you'd never know but she wanted to believe he swallowed hard.
The doctor had her lay on her side and began removing the tape Ranger had put on last night. Every time he placed a piece on her he would kiss her back. The doctor however was ripping it off and making her jump and yelp in pain.
"Let me" Ranger told the doctor placing his hand onto Stephanie's back.
He leaned down and whispered into her ear how she was going to pay taking her shirt off like that and soon he handed the patch over to the Doctor.
"Good not much drainage on the gauze" he told her
the doctor cleaned her wound and told her to leave it open from now on and let it air heal. Stephanie said ok and she got up and placed her shirt back on. Ranger walked with her to his car.
"Looks like I'm released" she smiled at him
"yep, that's what he said" Ranger told her
"I guess I don't have to stay with you anymore" She told him
"Guess not" Ranger said starting his BMW and pulling out onto the busy rode
Stephanie asked Ranger to take her to her apartment . When the got there her door had been kicked in and it ransacked inside. Steph began to cry. She was scared of what went on there and why anyone would want to harm her. Ranger held her close and went in and checked the room out.
"Babe" he said coming out holding a piece of paper
"you kill my father I kill you" the note said
Stephanie went white and began to sway. Ranger caught her before she went down.
"Greenoli?" she asked
"Could be, you living with me. Morelli said I was to keep you and that's what I'm going to do" he told her as he helped her back down to his car
