So yeah...here's the second chapter (go me!) I'll try to update as much as I can...but I'm going away for the weekend so...keep reading and reviewing! THANKS SO MUCCH! for the awesome reviews I got!

"It's called payback, kiddo. You deserved it."

"Payback, my ass. You had already paid me back for that," said Jamie, her eyes narrowing once more, "You just got back on board and threw me off."

"It wasn't enough. I had to make sure you knew not to mess with me," Ranger said.

"So what did you want to see me about?" I asked Ranger.

"I need a distraction tonight. It's a good thing Jamie showed up because it's better that this guy is VERY distracted."

"Ooooh fun," said Jamie, "the last time I did distraction for you I ended up scoring with the guy when he was bonded out again."

I laughed. Ranger just shook his head.

We ended up going out to a small café so Ranger and Jamie could catch up. I asked her to elaborate on how they met.

"Hmmmm well…so it was maybe a couple of months after I ran away. I was in Miami, running away from this guy who I had seriously pissed off. I was running down the street, looking for some car unlocked or something easy to break into so I could make a fast getaway, and lo and behold, I stumble upon a new shiny black Porsche with its doors open and the keys dangling from the ignition. I swear it was glowing. So anyway I hop in the car and take off RIGHT as Ranger and Tank were coming out of the building the car was parked in front of. I will never forget the death-glare that Ranger sent at me as I threw him a solute and pressed the pedal to the floor. To make a long story short, he and Tank chased me through the state and finally caught up with me at a rest stop and saved me from being killed by the guy who was chasing me back in Miami."

"Jeez. Why didn't he kill you for stealing his car?"

"Because I felt sorry for her," said Ranger, "That Jack guy was brutal."

"So what happened after that?" I asked Jamie.

"We went our separate ways. Ranger dropped me off back in Miami and that was the last I saw of him. A few months later I got arrested in the Keys. I didn't want to call my family 'cause then they'd just drag me home. I was thinking of just randomly dialing a number and telling whoever answered to come get me, but then I remembered taking one of Ranger's cards. So I called him up. I was lucky 'cause he was in the area, so he came and bailed me out, I said goodbye and that night stole a boat. The next time we met up was in Italy."

"You sailed a boat all the way to Italy?"

Jamie laughed. "No, I drove the boat up and down the coast for a while and then hopped on a plane the instant I ran into Jack again."

"Who's Jack?"

"The guy who I royally pissed off. For all I know, he's still out for my blood."

"He is," said Ranger, "I spotted him in Philly a couple weeks ago, he was flashing your picture around, claiming you were his kid."

"Bastard," said Jamie.

"So what did you do after you met up in Italy?" I asked. This was really interesting. From the way Jamie talked, she and Ranger had a deeper friendship from the beginning than I ever had with him.

"I just kinda followed him after that. Helped out with random jobs. That's how I got to see the world," said Jamie.

Ranger grinned suddenly, "Remember the trap in the woods?" he asked Jamie.

She glared at him, and he looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"Huh?" I was feeling especially articulate today.

Still glaring at Ranger, who was still trying not to laugh, Jamie answered me, "We were up in a pine forest over on the west coast, looking for this murderer or something. We were walking along, and Ranger starts smiling. So I ask him 'What are you grinning for?' but he doesn't answer me. The next thing I know, there's a shooting pain coming from my ankle. I collapse from pain, and Mr. Chuckles here collapses from freaking laughter. The bastard knew there was one of those spiky snap-shut traps under the pine needles, but he didn't even BOTHER to tell me!"

Ranger's head was down on his arms, and you see his shoulders clearly shaking from laughter. Jamie's glare intensified, but he didn't seem to notice. When Ranger finally recovered and looked up at me, "You should have seen her howling in pain. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Apart from you sobbing at that funeral."

"My foot was almost got chopped off!" Jamie yelled at him, "And you were just rolling around laughing!"

I was giggling now. I know it was horrible, but it did sound pretty funny. "So what did you do?"

Jamie scowled mockingly, "He had to carry me to the nearest town, complaining the whole way how heavy I was. Stupid prick."

"Hey you keep calling me that and I'll tell Stephanie about the diving board incident," said Ranger.

"NO!" Jamie yelled, "what happens on the diving board stays on the diving board!" she was really glaring now.

Ranger just laughed at her. I don't think I'd ever seen him laugh that much in such a small period of time. I was feeling a tad left out.

"Diving board incident?" I looked at Jamie.

She just shook her head, "No way. Uhn-uhn, I'm not tellin'" she shot a death glare at Ranger, "That goes for you two, ya know."
