Ron and Althia walked into the house quietly. Neither of them spoke as Ron went upstairs. Althia stayed downstairs and started making something for dinner. While Ron was upstairs he immediately check the cutalonghis side. He hadn't said anything or showed any pain while he was around Althia and he kept his other side towards her so she wouldn't notice. She'd worry.Hesearched his bathroom but there was nothing he could use. There might be something in the downstairs bathroom, but Althia would see when he would be walking towards it. He decided to finally just act normal until after dinner. He changed into a darker shirt when Althia called.

"Ron! Dinners ready!" she yelled. He walked down stairs and sat at the bar attached to the kitchen. "I made grilled cheese. It's a little burnt around the edges. Hope you like em but that's allI could find in the cabinets and fridge that I could make."

"It's fine." said Ron with a grin. The burnt edges reminded him of Kim when she tried to cook. Althia noticed the stain on the side of his shirt, not being able to tell what it was because of the dark color.

"Ron, what's on your shirt?" she asked.

"Oh. It's just water." he lied.

"Oh." she said. They sat there eating quietly until she notice the stain getting bigger. "Ron? That's not water."

"Yea it is." he told her.

"Ron the stains getting bigger." she told him. Ron knew she'd know now.

"I'm fine Althia." he told her. "There's nothing wrong."

"Are you bleeding!" she asked walking around the bar and to his side lifting up his shirt seeing the cut all the way down his side. "Oh my gosh Ron!"

"Althia its alright!" he kept telling her.

"I'll be right back!" she told him running to the bathroom and getting the first aid kit. A few seconds later she came back. She crouched down next. "You need to take your shirt off."

Ron took his shirt off.

"Alright this is going to burn." Althia told him.

"It's just some little kid medicine probably. How bad can it b-" she put in on his side. Ron yelled.

"I told you." she said.The door bell rang. "I'll get it."

She walked to the door and opened it. There was Monique.

"Hey girl!"exclaimed Monique.

"Hey." replied Althia.Not wanting Kimberly to seeRon she asked,"The kids aren't with you are they?"

"No, is there a reason they shouldn't be here though?" she gave a grin.

"Monique!" exclaimed Althia. "Come on in."

Monique followed Althia in and sat down across the bar from Ron.

"What happened to you?" she asked.

"It's a long story." he told her. "To put it short Althia's dad shot out all the windows at Bueno Nacho."

"I'm gonna run to the restroom." Althia told them walking off.

"Kimberly wants to know where your at." Monique told him.

"What did you tell her?" he asked.

"Just that she was going to stay with a us a few days." she told him. "What's all this about anyways?"

"Althia's father," said Ron as Althia was walking out of the bathroom. "If Althia's father knows I have adaughter he might try something."

"Yea you have a point." she told him. Althia sat on another stool."So are you going to file a report about the windows?"

"I have no proof." said Ron. "He might come up with some story to use against us like last time."

"Don't you have video cameras?" she asked. Ron's face lit up.

"I can't believe we didn't think of that." he said. "But what if we can't identify him from the tapes. He did shoot from his car."

"Your always finding a negative side to it aren't you?" she said sarcasticly. "Let me watch the tapes and describe the guy I see. I after all have never seen him before."

"Alright. I'll bring you the tapes tomorrow." he told her.

"Well I better get going. I just came over to check on you two." she told them.

"Oh wait a second." said Ron. He whistled. "Rufus!"

The old little naked mole rat came down the stairs and climb onto the counter top. Ron handed him to Monique.

"Let him stay with Kimberly." he told her. Monique laughed at the little aged rat as she walked out. After Monique left Althia bandaged Ron's side. "I'm going to go upstairs for a while."

"Alright." said Althia as Ron went up the stairs and got him another shirt. He then stepped outside the window and sat on the tops of the roof to think. Every thing was quiet until he heard something in his room. He looked through the window to see Althia walking out of the door with her bag.
