It wasn't until early afternoon when the two woke up. Still in a cuddling position the two separated and got out of bed.

"Sorry about that, guess I was just as tired." Marceline shrugs.

"It's okay I didn't even notice."

Bonnie then remembers her phone is still in the other room. I should probably tell my dad I am alright. He probably already knows and blew up my phone.

"Right. I should have thought of that last night…You sure you're okay Bonnie…?"

"Yeah, I have you to protect me…I know I'm going to be alright." Bonnie smiles and leaves the room. She finds numerous missed calls and texts from her father. She figures she should probably call him back instead of texting.

Ring...ring…ring….

"Bonnie, thank god you are alright. Are you hurt? Where are you? Is Em okay?"

"I'm fine dad, just a bit shaken up. Em is alright. She saved me last night."

"I am so glad I hired her. Now you have to listen to me sweetheart. You and Em need to get out of the house and go somewhere to hide. Do not tell anyone. Do you understand me?"

"Dad, what's going on?"

"Your brother sent Ricardo after you. He wanted him to kill you and Em, so he can kill me and take over. There would be no questions on who the next head would be because my choice was to have you become the head. He found out and wanted you out of the picture, so he would instantly inherit the position."

"What?! How could he do this to his own family? I always knew he had issues, but I didn't think it would have gone this far…"

"I didn't either, If I did I would have had him shipped overseas to your mother's side of the family. I would have never let him get in this deep. Bonnie please pack only what you need and get away from the city. I don't care where you go just go. Let me know when you are safe, don't even tell me where you are. Got it?"

"Yes dad, are you coming home?"

"I am currently in route, I will deal with Ned when I get home. Be safe BonBon."

"You too dad."

Bonnie rushes to Marceline's room.

"Em! Get your stuff we have to go now…" A ding from Bonnie's phone can be heard.

Ned: Hey sis, heard what happened last night. I'll be at your house in 15 minutes, so we can talk. Love you."

"Fuck, we need to go now. Grab whatever is important were leaving in two minutes."

"But...why?"

"My brother tried to kill me and he's going to be here in 15 minutes. So, we need to go." Bonnie rushes out of her room and grabs her emergency grab bag. Marceline quickly stuffs Hambo and her clothes in her bag. They both rush to the car and head off the property.

"What the fuck is going on Bonnie?

"That guy from last night was sent by my brother. I guess he wanted me out of the picture, so he can take over the family business because my father was never going to leave him in charge when he retired. Ned found out and was going to murder me and my father."

"I cannot believe that, what the fuck is wrong with him."

"I don't know but all I know is we need to get out of town and away. I bought a small summer house near the with money I saved up. No one knows about it except me. Get on the freeway"

"Got it."

Two hours pass.

"Get off here. Put the car in this garage. The cars GPS can be accessed and tracked if it sits in one place for too long. This garage was meant to block that signal. Leave the keys inside the garage."

"Got it." Marceline parks the car and gets their items out of the car. She locks it up and closes the garage. Bonnie then puts in a passcode on the door sealing the garage.

"Follow me, it's a short hike to the place." The hike up a few hills and down a few slopes. It takes another 15 minutes to get to the house.

"Wow Bonnie this is amazing? How did you buy this without anyone knowing?"

"I work for a lab on my free time. Without my family knowing. They pay me rather well. Why do you think I went to college?"

Marceline shrugs. "No idea, but this is amazing."

The house is on the lake. It's not too big but not small either. The house sits on supports raising it from the ground. There is also a wall with just windows that allows for the tenant to see the full view of the lake. Rustic and simple. Bonnie walks up to the front door and unlocks the door with her fingerprint. The pair walk inside.

"Have you stayed in this place since you bought it?"

"A few times. But recently no. So were going to have to walk down to the local shop and get groceries."

"Sounds good, let me put down our stuff and we'll go."

They walk down to the grocery store and shop for all the things the need and want.

"Here we'll put it on my card. I got this card in secret as well."

"Sure. Sounds like a good way to not get caught."

The walk back was rather quiet. When they approached the house Marceline finally piped up.

"You okay Bonnie. I know this is a lot to take in." Bonnie opens the door and they put the bags on the counter.

"Honestly, I am not okay, but I have to be okay. I have to be strong."

Marceline hugs Bonnie. "How about we go swimming in the lake for a bit. It's a nice warm summer day. Get your mind off things."

"That sounds great. Good thing I suggested we buy these bathing suits. They get dressed and head down to the pier.

"See a nice day for it."

"I agree…" Bonnie dips a toe in the water. "A bit cold but refreshing." She takes off her tank top and board shorts, showing off her curves. Marceline can't help but admire her once more. She catches herself before Bonnie notices and begins to take off her cover clothing as well. Bonnie stares at Marceline and her well-toned abs and muscles. She does not catch herself before Marceline notices.

"I see your eyeing me Bonnie."

"I was just answered the question of how you are so strong. Right there." She points to Marceline's muscles.

"It's true I work out." Marceline giggles. "Well are we getting in?"

"After you."

"Oh no this is not how this works." Marceline picks up Bonnie and carries her to the edge of the pier.

"Em, you better not…"

"Or else what?"

"YOU JUST BETTER NOT!"

"Whoops." Marceline drops Bonnie into the water and begins to laugh.

"Em, you are the worst, get your ass in here with me." Bonnie pulls Marceline's arm and in she goes.

"Well I guess I deserved that."

"Yeah you did, asshole." They both smile and laugh.

They both realize they are face to face once they stop laughing.

"Um, well…" Marceline is interrupted by Bonnie placing a kiss on her lips.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry…I don't know what came over me…I am…" Marceline quiets Bonnie down by kissing her back and the two sink into a passionate kiss.
