"We will." Matt said.
"Okay now on to some serious business. Garner heard rumors of some new gang in the area called..."
"The Roughriders." Slade said.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Rumors go around." he said as he shrugged.
"Right well anyways. Keep your eyes peeled okay."
"Mitch, why is this gang so dangerous to keep our eyes peeled for any ways?" CJ asked.
"Well, I don't know that yet CJ." Mitch sighed.
"I do." Stephanie said getting off the phone. "They're a group of motorcycle guys who go around on the beach and pick up girls. Usually to hang out with, but within last years report from Malibu, they've raped one of they're lifeguards."
"All right. "I'm going to try to get a hold of headquarters to see if we can possibly have some backup lifeguards, preferably male. Summer, I want you and CJ to have a buddy for a while."
"Sure, Mitch." they said in unison.
"All right, well you guys can have the rest of the day off since the storm is brewing in."
They all left the station and went home. "So you still want to go out tonight, cause if you don't I'll understand." Matt said catching up with Summer."
"Matt when will you learn that no biker will keep me away from a date with you." she said smiling.
"Probably when we get to finish a kiss."
"Well, let's see if that can ever work." Summer said as she and Matt moved in for another kiss.
"Hey you two." Slade said hobbling towards them.
"If we run we can lose him, even if we walked really fast." Matt whispered to her.
"Matt." she said playfully hitting him. "Hey Jimmy, you doing better?"
"Yeah, lots. Thanks for saving my life out there, Summer."
"It's my job." she said smiling.
"You're hair looks cuter when it's longer." he said.
"Thanks, I was thinking of getting it cut again, but CJ and Matt won't hear of it."
"Well, neither will I." he said. "So what are you doing tonight?"
"Well, actually..."
"We're going out, as in a date, as in just Summer and me." Matt said putting his arm protectively around Summer.
"Oh, well maybe I'll see you later, okay?" he asked her.
"Sure, later Jimmy."
"Later Summer." he said walking off with his board in hand.
"So it is almost seven." Matt said smiling at Summer.
"Then we shouldn't be late."
Matt and Summer hurried to his bike, hopped on and rode off to dinner and then afterwards back to the beach. "I love the beach at night."
"So do I, especially if I'm with the right person." he said putting his arms around summer.
"True." she said. "Hey Matt."
"Yeah?"
"What do you think of CJ?"
"CJ? As in Casey Jean Parker?"
"Yep, that's her."
"Well answer me this first. What do you think of Jimmy Slade?"
Summer turned her head back and looked at him. "That's not a fair question."
"Sure it is, it was as fair as yours." he said kissing her nose.
"See, that's the only thing you get to be able to kiss and not be interrupted."
"Well, maybe I can try for your lips next time." he said as they're lips touched and for once in they're life they actually kissed.
"Well... well... What do we have here?" a guy said smiling.
"Look bud just lose it okay." Matt said.
Summer looked and saw some guys on bikes coming behind the guy. "Matt, it's them." she whispered.
"Yeah it is." he whispered back. "Look, when I give the signal run towards the water and swim out a bit. Try to get around so you can get to Slade's van."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me right now okay. I'll get to my bike and take off towards Garner's." he said.
"Be careful." Summer said taking off her shoes.
"Hey what do you think your doing pretty girl?" the leader asked.
"This." she said tossing her shoes at him making him fall off his bike as she ran towards the water and dived in. Matt took off the opposite direction towards his bike. "After them!"
"But she's in the water." one guy complained.
"I don't care. She's cute and I need a new girl so get her!"
"Right on it Rocky." the second guy said as they dropped they're bikes, took off they're shoes and socks and shirts and helmets.
"Hurry up!"
And soon went into the water. "Man it's cold."
Summer submerged near the Tequila Bay and ran up the beach towards Slade's van. "Jimmy!"
"Summer?" he asked opening the door. "God are you okay? What happened?"
"Matt and I were on the beach and those guys Stephanie was talking about showed up. I took the water and Matt took off on his bike. He said he was heading towards Garner's." she said shivering.
"Here." he said quickly finding a towel and wrapped her up in it. "Come inside."
"But what about Matt?"
"He'll be fine trust me."
Matt rode quickly down the empty streets and saw Garner and Mitch having coffee. "Garner! Mitch!" he said dropping his bike and ran towards them.
"Matt what's wrong?" Garner asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be out with summer?" Mitch asked.
"We were and we were at the beach and those roughriders showed up."
"What? Where's Summer?"
"I sent her into the water. She's probably at Slade's." he said out of breath.
"Okay we'll head to the beach now." Mitch said as they went to Garner's truck. "Matt call Stephanie and tell her we may need backup."
"Right."
