Chapter 19

Game Day

He spent the day watching from a distance. He had to be very careful now. He had gone by his apartment to find the cops had bend there. So he know that they were looking for him. It wasn't the first time this had happen. But the were much better train than a police force. This was it. He was either going to get my sweet or else.

-------------------------------------------------

"Thanks for the information Det. Fry." Frank said as he hung up the phone.

So this guy was one of us that went bad. I better get to the gym tonight and get some sweat and a work out in. I just love how the system breaks down. That nut case should have taking a psych profile before he got into special forces.

Frank saw to it that everyone got home safely. Then he walked to his car and drove home and told his wife the 'good' news. After dinner, he went to the base and used the gym. A couple of he friends from the Seals were working out when he got there. They were more than happy to have him join them. After a good workout, he went home to his wife. There she gave him a nice massage and helped him with his Miley problem.

"You know, if you weren't so cute, this wouldn't be a problem." She teased.

"And you're enjoying this to much. Aren't you afraid of losing our man to a younger woman?" He tried to tease back. He knew it wouldn't work. But he had to try to get even.

"No. I know you to well. There isn't one dishonest bone in this body of yours. Why do you think I love you so much."

"When this is all over and I tell her, she is going to be so hurt."

"I know it bothers you, but the only thing I can think of is you telling her and not to have her find out from someone else. That would probably hurt her more."

"Yeah, I know." With his head spinning looking for the best case solution, he rolled onto his back, pulled his wife down to him, and kissed her. She rested her head on his chest and shoulder, snuggled her body up to his and went to sleep. Frank laid there holding his wife, trying to think like the wacko he had to stop.

Frank woke the next morning. He'd was looking forward to being out of school again. That brought a smile to his face. His wife was up. She was starting breakfast for the family. He grabbed something to eat, kissed everyone and headed out to his car. He had some recon to do before walking the kids to school.

-------------------------------------------------

Miley didn't know what to wear today. She knew that Oliver and Lilly would have no problem in deciding on what to wear today. It was a game day. Lilly would be wearing her cheerleader outfit and Oliver would be wearing his Pirate Pete outfit, minus the head. Which just left her to decide on what to wear. Oh what the hey she thought. She went into her Hannah closet and picked out another outfit. She mix and matched her tops and bottoms and came out with another hot outfit. Which was easy to do when you have a closet of hot outfits. Plus she really liked Frank. She just wondered why he wasn't picking up on all the hints she's been dropping. Maybe tonight at the dance.

She went downstairs and had breakfast. After breakfast, she checked herself in the mirror to be sure everything was perfect. Happy, she open the door and Lilly came in on her board.

"Ready to go Miles?"

"Lets go!"

Frank and Oliver was waiting at the corner for them. Once again, Frank let Miley pick the side she want to walk on and went to the other side. After a few blocks, Miley stopped as if she needed to fix her shoe. When she got up to rejoin the group, Lilly and Miley did some shuffling so she was by Frank. All Frank could do was to shake his head, smile and walk to school.

At school, things were very different. There seem to be a huge warming for Miley and what she had been through the last couple of days. And there was a huge change of attitude towards Amber and Ashley. Miley and Lilly had a plan to change the attitude of someone else today. But no matter how much Miley hinted or dropped clues, Frank was not getting it. The plan was not going well at lunch time either. Frank didn't come to lunch.

"Oliver, where is Frank at?" Miley asked.

"He said he had something to look for outside."

"Did he say what it was?" Lilly asked.

"No."

"I wonder what he's looking for?" Miley asked out loud.

-------------------------------------------------

Frank was standing outside entrance number 9. He was looking for him. He had to be doing recon. But where would that be? More importantly, Frank was eyeing all the cars that were there and the people walking by. He also was checking the roof tops. He has got to be here somewhere. Frank had picked out places where he would be to do recon, but he didn't see anything. The bell rang, forcing Frank to go back inside before he wanted too. When he got back to his locker, Miley was waiting for him with a muffin.

"I noticed you missed lunch Frank. Ahh…I got you a muffin."

"Thanks." He took the muffin.

"Did you find what you were looking for."

"Not yet."

"Maybe I can help you look for it after school."

"That's okay. It wasn't that important."

"oh"

They walked in silence for a few steps.

"Are you still going to the game and dance with us tonight?"

"Yes, Miley."

"Are you mad at me?"

"No Miley."

They got to their class and had to sit down at their desks. Frank could tell she was looking at him. It was a solider thing. The rest of the day went pretty much the same way. Frank was getting more into the zone. He was in a war here and it was against one of his own. The more he thought about it, the more his combat senses started to flood back to him. He hear more things. He saw more things. His instincts were more aware. Something was going to happen. He just wish he knew when.

The walk home with the kids was a walk through a battle zone. In more than one way. Miley and Lilly were still working on him to 'notice' Miley. But he paid more attention to the terrain. They were going to walk to the game, but Robbie Ray was going to give everyone a ride home after the dance. When they got to the corner, Lilly and Oliver went to there houses. Mile waited for them to leave so she could talk to Frank.

"So, you're not mad at me?"

"No Miley, I'm not mad at you."

"You've hardly talked to me at all today. What's wrong?"

"I have a lot on my mind right now."

"You still want to go to the dance than?"

"Yes I do."

"Will you dance a slow dance with me?" Miley had her head tilted down but she was looking up with her eyes. Frank sighed.

"Yes Miley. I'll save a slow dance for you. Now you better get home. Okay?"

"Okay. Pick me up at my house?"

"Yes."

Miley turned and skipped home.

Something was happening at the school. This just might be the chance he was waiting for. All he had to do was sit tight and see if my sweet was going tonight.
