AN: Hey guys thanks for the reviews!! Here's the next part!!!
Connor and Dri walked into the apartment to find Richie sitting on the couch watching TV. He turned his head when they shut the door.
"Hey guys," He said.
"I thought you were out running errands," Connor said.
"They didn't take as long as I'd thought."
"Where's Mac?" Dri asked.
"He's in the bedroom changing. He spilled a drink on his shirt. He didn't seem too happy."
"Oh this is going to be so much fun," She said sarcastically as she threw down her bag.
"You have no idea," Duncan said coming out of the bedroom. "What the hell are you thinking? You left 'AGAIN' without telling Richie or me! Do you know there is a murdered on the lose! What if he got a hold of you?"
Dri looked up at Connor. "See I told you he'd yell."
"Dri I just don't understand," Mac said a little calmer. "You were fine a week ago. You were doing so well. In school and training you still are, but all of a sudden you're so angry and you've started sneaking out again. What's going on? Talk to me!"
Dri stood there dumbfounded. She had expected him to be enraged, but he actually seemed worried. That she hadn't expected. The look in his eyes almost seemed like he was hurt.
"Look I'm sorry." She finally replied. "I don't mean to be the bitch I'm acting like, but I need to get through this myself."
"Dammit Dri!" He yelled. "You don't have to do everything yourself! Let us help you!"
"Duncan calm down," Connor said.
"No Connor," He exclaimed still yelling. "She can't keep doing this!"
"Please Mac," Dri exclaimed. "Leave it alone."
"I've left it alone long enough!"
Richie was off the couch and next to Dri. "Mac take it easy!"
"You need to talk Dri or yell or scream or something! I can't stand to see you this angry all the time!"
She walked past him and Mac grabbed her wrist.
"Let go of me!"
"Not until you tell me what's going on!"
Richie and Connor were next to Mac. Connor had a hand on his shoulder.
"Duncan let her go," He said.
"Come on Mac," Richie agreed. "You're scaring her."
Duncan and Dri glared at each other. Dri tried to keep the fear out of her eyes, but Mac saw it and he realized he was frightening her. He hadn't meant to do that. He gradually let go of her wrist.
Dri kept her eyes on him as she backed up.
"I'm sorry Dri. I didn't mean to scare you, but you can't keep doing this," He said in a pleading voice.
She didn't say anything. She just turned and walked into her room.
"Keep the door open," Mac said as she started to close it.
Dri glared at him from the doorway, but she did as she was told. Then she walked back out of sight from the living room.
"Duncan," Connor said. "I know you have other things on your mind, but we need to talk."
"About Jason McDaniels," The younger clansman replied.
"Yes, about Jason McDaniels. I ran into him when I went to get Dri."
"Who's Jason McDaniels?" Richie asked.
"What happened?" Mac asked unintentionally ignoring Richie.
"He saw the girl."
"Who's Jason McDaniels?"
"Tell me you're joking Connor."
"You have to get her someplace safe. I don't want McDaniels near her."
"Hey guys," Richie half yelled. "Who the hell is Jason McDaniels?"
Mac looked at him. "He's an immortal who takes pleasure in raping and murdering young girls."
Richie's eyes widened. "And this guy wants Dri?"
"It seems that way," Connor told him.
"Well we have to do something," Richie exclaimed.
"Relax. She's here and this is the safest place for her," Mac said. "McDaniels won't be able to touch her."
"So what do we do now?" Richie asked.
"Nothing," Connor replied. "For now. Jason will find a way to contact me when he wants to."
"In the meantime Dri doesn't leave without one of us with her," Mac said. "I don't McDaniels getting anywhere near her."
"Then maybe we should nail her window shut so she can't go out the fire escape," Richie joked.
Duncan smiled.
"I still don't get it," Connor said.
"I'll explain while I make us something to eat," Mac said.
The three of them walked to the kitchen. After explaining to Connor about Dri's fire escape fetish Connor and Richie sat at the table with a plate of food. Mac sat his down at the table and took another plate to Dri's room. He knocked lightly on the door even though it was already open.
"Dri, I've brought you something to eat."
Mac went into the room to find Dri fast asleep on her bed. She was on her stomach with her face turned away from him. Her arms were under the pillow that her long red hair spilled over.
Mac smiled at the sight. She looked so innocent sleeping like that. He put the plate on her dresser and walked over to the bed. He took the baby blue fleece quilt that was folded at the end of the bed and covered her with it. Dri's turned her head to look at him with sleepy eyes.
"I'm sorry," She whispered in a half sleep state.
"Shhh, it's all right," Duncan replied. "Go back to sleep. You need your rest."
Dri yawned and closed her eyes. It only took a second or two for her to fall back asleep. Mac walked back over to the dresser and picked up the plate. He turned and took one last look at her before he walked out of the room.
"Is she okay?" Richie asked as Mac sat down.
"Yeah, she's sleeping." He started eating his food. "Where are you staying tonight Connor?" He asked between bites.
"I'll get a hotel room."
"Why don't you just stay with us?" Richie asked. "I can take the couch."
Connor shook his head. "No, I don't want to jeopardize the girl anymore than I already have."
"Even if you go to a hotel McDaniels will be looking for Dri," Duncan said. "We'd have a better chance with all of us here."
"I shouldn't have come here," Connor resigned. "The girl is in danger because of me."
"At least we can protect her," Richie said. "What about all the other girls who have no one to save them from this creep?"
Connor looked at Duncan.
"Don't look at me. The kids got a point."
"Smart ass," The elder MacLeod stated. "Fine, I'll stay the night, but I'll take the couch."
"Fine with me," Richie replied. "I like my bed."
"Then it's settled," Mac said. He looked over at Connor. "It is good to see you old friend."
"As it is you, Duncan. As it is you."
