Dreams of Dragon's Fire
"So, all the beds are made up. Plenty of towels and whatnot in the bathrooms. Make yourselves at home and hopefully we can catch Ella and Luis heading out to shop tomorrow morning." Steph puttered around nervously.
Ranger thought fast "Tank and Bobby can have the two single rooms, Les and I can use the girl's bedroom."
"Damn, man. I thought we were done with sleepovers ... " Les whined with a smile.
"And we haven't had open bay barracks since boot, your point?" Ranger lifted an eyebrow and looked at his cousin.
"Fine." Les grumped off down the hall with a fake glower on his face. Closing the door to the corner bedroom he snickered.
"So we will get a fresh start in the morning. You and Hector just do what you would normally do, hopefully if anybody is watching you guys still they won't catch on we are back and snooping." Ranger moved closer to Steph, and kissed her gently on her forehead. "Thanks for helping us out. I know you must still be pretty raw over what happened. I really never meant anything bad to happen to you."
With a sigh, Steph leaned into Ranger's chest. "I know, and I want us to get back to where we were, but it is going to take time." She moved back and turned towards her room. "Night."
"Sweet dreams, Babe," and Ranger headed into the other bedroom and firmly shut the door. He pulled out his sat phone and hit a speed dial number. "I need a favor ..."
"Enter Sandman" - Metallica
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
