Two weeks. Two weeks until the re trial for Storm now. That's all Sally had to prepare. As everyone scurried to leave. Sally was quick to get to Jackson. Lightning stopped her seeing she was in a hurry. "Woah, woah, where are you going?" "I gotta catch Jackson. Besides signing the release and agreement, I gotta make sure he is actually on board. Can you go grab the kids, I'm sorry." "No problem.. Go ahead.." Lightning muttered. Sally took off through the crowd, pushing through to find Jackson and grabbed his arm to stop him. "Jackson! Hey, you know you have to sign the release of your files to me. I got to get up to date on details for your benefit here." Jackson laughed quietly and rubbed his eyes. He wasn't okay.

"Jackson.. What's wrong?.." Jackson sighed and shook his head, licking his lips before answering "I gave myself to that woman. Nope, wait, I cared. I actually cared for her.. I can't believe I fucked up and actually cared!" He was hurting. Sally stared a moment. At first she wasn't sure how to handle this. She lay a hand on his shoulder saying "Um.. It's.. It's going to be okay... There will be other women.. or men..." Jackson looked as if he were about to cry. Then Dianna ran up calling his name, "Jackson!.. Jackson, wait!" Jackson looked at her then noticed the mens room just a few steps away. "Fuck you!" Jackson shouted and pointed at her! He pushed away from Sally gently then marched into the men's room.

Dianna passed Sally and stood at the door calling. "Jackson.. Jackson please!" No answer. Sally crossed her arms and glared at Dianna snarling "I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. What you did in there was pretty awful. Even for a lawyer." Dianna immediately looked to Sally and snapped "Oh fuck you. I was just doing my job!" "And now you not only hurt people, families, possibly aided in setting a horrible human being free!, you hurt Jackson. How's that feel huh?" Dianna's expression changed. It felt worse than anything. She frowned.

Sally shook her head in disapproval. "By the way," she added. "You're off the case." Dianna's eyed widened! "What!? You can't do that?!" Dianna growledin protest! Sally only got in her face and corrected. "Oh I can! You slept with Jackson. You got involved with him. That makes you conflict of interest unless he signs a waiver. Which isn't going to happen. Find Cleo another lawyer before I take this to court and force you to leave Jackson alone." Sally then cracked the men's room and called. "Jackson I'm gonna wait outside the building for a little while. I need you to give me permission to access your files before I go." It was quiet for a moment, then Jackson shouted back, "I'll just go to your office back in town tomorrow! Please!.. Just.. Leave me alone and get Dianna out of here!" Sally and Dianna looked at each other.

Sally's brows lowered as she snarled. "You heard him. Leave. You aren't wanted here and Cleo no longer needs you. Don't you dare show your face in my town Swwann. Doc would be very disappointed in his daughter. Shame. What a waste of good potential." Than Sally walked away. Dianna was left speachless. This is exactly why relationships just never worked out for her anyway. She stared at the men's bathroom door for a few more seconds before giving up and walking away...

Sally met back up with Lightning and the kids. "You get what you needed?" Asked Lightning. Sally shook her head answering "No, um.. Jackson is gonna come by my office tomorrow some time. It'll be fine." "Mr.Mcqueen!" A young man shouted! Lightning and Sally immediately looked iver at the man with the camera and sighed. Lightning turned to Sally saying "Go get the kids in the car, I'll take care of thia guy." "You sure that's a good idea Stickers?.. I know you can be.. Have been.. A little emotional.." Lightning glared at his wife then orderd. "Go. I'm fine. I'll meet you in the car." Sally nodded and took the kids with her as the man approached. "Could I get a picture?" he asked. Lightning firmly answered with "No."

"Well then how about a statement? You lost right? So was it all a misunderstanding or a lie to begin with?" the kid asked. Lightning growled slightly. "Neither!" "But one could definitely argue that you did use Cruz and Cleo and even Sa"-"Stop. Wait.. How did you?.. Look! I did not swoon anyone last time I was here. I did not use my name and my celebrity status that I worked my ASS OFF TO MAKE!" The kid cowered a little, but that didn't stop Lightning. In a sense, he was just letting it all out there for everyone to hear.

"I did not use Cleo, she used her superior status as mayor to get away with anything including taking and using money from a school and the town of Radiator Springs, and the good people who work in that town! Cleo is a rapist, a thief, who tricks people. She is a despicable human being who gets away with a lot because she has money, she's pretty, and she wants power. As for Cruz, she knew exactly how I felt, what was going on and I made it clear from the start it was JUST SEX! As for Sally, yes, I fucked up! I cheated on my wife, the love of my life, the woman I want to be buried along side me! But I am working on my mistakes and my personal problems! So fuck off! Let my family heal! Let Cruz heal! Leave us all be!" Lightning turned and sort of stomped away after saying that.

The kid stood there a little speachless, and Lightning thought that was it. But once he stepped outside, he was stopped once again by hungry and crude reporters. Some had to been hired or tipped by Cleo or Dianna because there were just to many to have just heard about the trial. "Mr. McQueen! Care to give a statement?" "Mr. McQueen, what do you have to say in your defense?" "Lightning! Do you think this will effect your chances of finding students now?" "What do you have to say for yourself in regards to how you've treated women?" "Are you currently in another affair?" "Is it true that you were never raped by Miss De Frank to begin with?" "What's it feel like to be such a liar?" Lightning growled and boiled over with such anger.

He held it in as he tried walking to the car, but this was like being hurdled by a pack of hungry coyotes. Stupid, annoying, scavengers all trying to mess with you and lure you into a trap. "Mr. McQueen," his name called numerous times by numerous people. Lightning got into the passenger seat, shut and locked the door. Those reporters stood outside and one knocked on the window. Ece nervously muttered "Mom... I'm cared.." Scared. She was trying to say scared. Sally sighed then Lightning ordered her to just "Drive. Just take us home.." He pitifully requested. Sally hated seeing Lightning so hurt, broken, depressed. They lost. They really lost against Cleo for what felt like the millionth time.

Luckily, thanks to Jackson's case, she was still in prison. Sally knew that no natter what, Cleo was looking at less time. Unless Sally could find something in Jackson's filw to really pull the plug on this entire thing. She wouldn't sleep tonight. She would be up, getting nervous and worn down kids to bed, then caring for Lightning, brushing his hair as he lay in bed. Caressing his face, his shoulders in a way to help him relax and ease into sleep. Sally would be up thinking of the files, the coming fight and making sure Lightning didn't wake up in a nightmare.

He probably would. Lightning would probably reluctantly drift asleep next to Sally then wake up suddenly, abruptly in sweat. Breathing heavily as he panicked over whatever nightmare paranoid him tonight. Sally was going to fight. She was going to fight as much, as hard, as mean as she could and make sure that Cleo paid. Cleo had to remain in prison! She just had to!...

Sally looked at the clock next to the bed. 2.05 in the morning. She sighed, yawned and looked at Lightning who was asleep. He hadn't fallen asleep until about ten or so. He was emotionally drained, mentally exhausted. Sally's eyes were heavy. She had been watching over Lightning sense they got home because she was so worried. Her eyes heavy, she leaned in close and leaned over Lightning's shoulder. His scent only relaxed her more and she closed her eyes as she took a deep wiff of his musky smell. A good musky, man scent. As odd as that read.. ?..

She nestled in and lay her hand on his chest, feeling his chest rise and fall as he breathed and his heart beat against her palm. "I love you Lightning.." She whispered. "I'm sorry.." She added. And she was. She was sorry for losing the trial. She hadn't mentally prepared for all the crap that Dianna had thrown at her face. Thw thought that Cleo almost got out was so scary. Sally was almost asleep when she heard Lightning whisper her name. "..Sally?.." She sat up and looked down at him asking "What is it?.. You okay?" She sounded tired. "Did I wake you?" He asked. Sally shook her head. Lightning sighed and gently lay his hand behind her neck, pulling her head down to his, he kissed her so tenderly.

It was like a long forgotten touch. His lips was soft like velvet and filled with such need. She knew what he needed, what he was pushing. His other hand glided across Sally's side and to her hip it rested. He was needing her touch. It wasn't lust, it was a need of physical love and emotional support and she knew that. Lightning definitely made that clear after his tongue protruded into her mouth. Now, Sally was very tired and exhausted in just about every way. She was in no mood to do what Lightning wanted here. But she knew how badly he needed this release and didn't fight him. Instead she lovingly kissed him back in pure passion. The most loving kiss he had probably felt in forever it seemed.

Their kiss becoming deeper, Lightning pulls away and begins kissing Sally's neck, he is sucking the salt from her skin and sending a small shiver down behind her ears. His fingers play in her soft hair that felt of rough silk sense she hadn't showered and washed it yet. Neither made any sounds yet. They were very quiet, almost silent. Lightning's other hand rubbed up her hip and gently grabbed her ass. Groping it tightly in his hand. Sally let out a sigh and Lightning stopped. They looked into each other's eyes in the dark room and Lightning asked "You okay?.. We don't have to.. I'm sorry." Sally smiled in a gaze at him. Her hand gently caressed his cheek, her thumb brushing over his wet lips. She smiled so sweetly.

"Don't say anything else.. Just make love to me.." She whispered. Lightning snickered with a smile then rolled over top of her. He leaned down and began kissing, making out with this incredible woman once again. He remained silent as she asked. No words. But if he did speak, he would tell her how beautiful she looked. His member bulged against her area. Almost like a thought out and well written skit, Sally's hand then snuck between their bodies ans grabbed his man hood gently. She gripped what she could through his black boxers and rubbed in circular motions, then up and down, circles again and added a soft moan into his mouth. He was very hard and ready below. He was so needy tonight and though tired, this was turning her on to.

Naturally, her knees lifted up giving Lightning a better position above her. He stopped his kisses on her lips and moved to her breasts.Her small and beautiful, bouncy little tits that seem to always beg for his touch. Lightning first kissed them through the shirt. Then lifted it up and over them, he kissed her breasts. First the left one, then right one. He massaged it in his palm before latching on and suckling her tender nipple. Sally gasped and fidgeted. Her tummy and chest raised and Lightning moved down, kissing above her belly button then above the powder pink like panties. She moaned sort of. Almost a sigh and moan mixed together. She sounded satisfied.

Lightning licked her panties over the area. That did it. Now Sally wanted him! She couldn't sleep if she wanted to now because Lightning set her aflame. He took her panties and slowly slid them down her silk like legs. He kissed her naked area and licked upwards. She smelled so good and he spread her gently to taste her more. He couldn't get enough of her sweetness. Sally rubbed her fingers through his hair as his tongue did miraculous work. Sending pleasure within her body. Lightning wanted to please her. Making her squirm was giving him the pleasure he was desperate for right now. He lifted up and kissed up her belly and and between her breasts before kissing her lips gently.

Sally reached between them once again, but this time took the elastic of his boxers and was prying to take them off. Lightning happily helped and easily pushed his member inside her. She was slick and warm and her insides tight around him in this physical means of affection and support. He thrusted slow and gently. Making love was no quick and rough way tonight. They were quiet and possibly, more connected than they had been lately. Lightning kissed Sally's lips and made sure to give her his full attention physically. And after making such love and connection, they lay and fell asleep. It wasn't a rough, rambunctious, wild encounter this time. Just sweetly and simply they made love...

"Dad..." A little voice whispered. "Daddy.." Again. Lightning yawned and groaned a bit before the little voice called again. "Daddy." Lightning opened his eyes to see Colton standing there. "What is it?.." Lightning asked in a still sleepy voice. He looked over to see Sally still asleep. He smiled at her presence. He loved that woman so much. Back to Colt, the child answered "Um.. I peed.." He whispered. Lightning stared at the child and as he woke more. He noticed Colton's pants were soaking wet. He sighed. "Alright.. Um.. Just... Go to the bathroom.. I'll get you cleaned up. Was this in bed?" He asked. Colton silently nodded. Lightning sighed and got up, slid on some pants as Colton ran off to the bathroom. Lightning leaned over and kissed Sally's forehead gently and carefully so he wouldn't wake her. Then went off to clean this mess up and begin breakfast...
