Chapter 14

"Pete please I want to go."

"No. We are trying to keep you safe. If you show up at the police station and Bo is watching well I don't want to take that chance."

"Fine. But when you get back can we please go for a ride. I'm getting restless."

"We shall see. Its all going to depend on what news the captain has." With a kiss Pete was out the door.

The more we play house the more I want this to become a reality. I can't believe I didn't realize this sooner. Now that I have it though I'm never letting go. We were meant to be. I can be honest with myself and say I have never felt this way about anyone else. Once this is over I'm going to make up for lost time, because I was dumb.

"Okay boys I want you to double check all the places Bo has been. If I'm not here when you get back wait for me to return."

As the captain drove, I really don't like what I'm about to ask Julie to do but I don't see any other choice. Especially now we know Bo has someone after him. It has got to end. If she says yes, the boys are going to go ballistic, especially Pete. He hasn't said anything but it's apparent something has changed between him and Julie. If its what I think it is good for them and about time. I didn't think it was going to happen.

When the captain reached the beach house he took a deep breathe and knocked.

" Hey captain, I thought you were meeting the boys at your office."

" First off how you feeling. I did meet the boys but I wanted to talk to you without them around."

"I feel much better. This sounds serious. What is this about."

The captain growled," You know how we haven't been able to catch Bo. Well we have heard there is someone after him. Which puts you in even more danger. I have an idea but you have to agree to it. If not I'll try and find a different way."

Julie wasn't liking this but kept quiet while the captain proceeded.

"I was thinking that after another day or two of rest, you could make it seem like your back. You would come to the office. And when it was time to go home you would go in one door and then come out the back. What I'm thinking is if Bo is watching, which I think he is, he would try and get to you when no one is around. Understand that you would never be alone. I would have people set up to watch you at all times. Julie I wouldn't ask this of you if I thought there was another way. But his trail has been cold for awhile now."

Julie got up and walked around. If I do this I may get hurt again, or maybe even Pete or Linc. If I don't who know how long this could go on. Maybe Bo would even get tired of waiting for me to show and go after one of the boys. I can't let that happen. If we can put an end to this, I think we should try. I will miss playing house though.

"Captain I know if you had another choice you would do it. I think one more day of rest and we should do it."

"I will go and tell the boys what we came up with. Please try and relax the rest of today and tomorrow. I am going to make sure you are covered at all times.

"I know that you will captain."

I don't like this but I know the captains right. This does need to end. Bo needs to be found an put back in jail. I'm sure glad the captains telling Pete. He is going to hit the roof. I think I'll cook his favorite, maybe that will help calm him down.

As the captain got into his office he heard the boys right behind him. The fire works are about to start.

"No. No. No. She can't do this. It's to dangerous" Pete was practically yelling.

"Pete I don't like it any better then you do but let's face facts. We have no leads as to where Bo is. Now that he has someone looking for him this could get twice as dangerous. The captain already talked to her and she agreed. It's her decision. All we can do is keep her as safe as possible."

"I still don't like it. I'm going to go and talk some sense into her."

"Let him go Linc let's work on how we are going to keep Julie safe. You can fill him in tomorrow. Besides Julie can handle herself."

She can't do this. It's too dangerous. How could she agree to this. What if she gets hurt again. I can't go through that. Pete parked and before he went in he tried to get his thoughts under control. He knew if he went in there this upset, it would do absolutely no good. Julie wouldn't take kindly to him trying to tell her what to do. Even if it was out of concern.

When he finally gets himself calm enough, he goes in. As soon as he walks in, Julie was over puts her arms around him, and kisses him long and lovingly. All thoughts flee his mind.

" Not that I'm complaining but what was that for?" Pete asked when his brain started to work again.

"I missed you."

"You sure that's all it is? This wouldn't have anything to do with what the captain explained to us would it?"

"Well maybe a little. But I did miss you. And before you start we are going to do this. Now let's enjoy dinner and then we will talk."

After they finished cleaning up, they were both a little apprehensive. Neither of them wanted to ruin such a pleasant night.

"Angel are you sure you want to do this? I mean there has to be another way. I'm worried something could go wrong. I don't think I could take it if something were to happen to you again."

"Pete if the captain had another way do the you think he would. I'm worried too, but I also worry that if he can't find me, he may go after you or Linc. And if one of you got hurt because he couldn't find me I would never forgive myself."

They talked long into the night. They fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms. When they awoke they both had the same thought. I could get used to this.

Without the other knowing they both had decided to spend the day enjoying each other's company. The captain had called in the morning and went over everything for the next day. Pete explained that he wanted to spend the day with Julie. The captain understood and it wasn't a problem. "Okay then I will see you both tomorrow at nine am. And Pete, make sure you and Julie stay safe."

Pete then called Linc to let him know what was going on. "Try and relax and enjoy your day. Stay safe and I'll do the same. See you tomorrow."

The rest of the day was theirs to do what they wanted.
