Summary: A twisted love triangle results in 2 deaths, 1 disappearance, an orphaned child and an agent who can identify the godfather of it all. Of course Bobby is more than happy to help Tara and the child, but he soon realizes that his heart is weaker than he thought when it comes to the gorgeous woman. There is only 1 flaw: the killer does not under any circumstances want Tara to bring him down and will do anything to eliminate the threat.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters: D Gans, Donna Gans, Bobby Manning, Tara Williams, Sue Thomas, Jack Hudson, Myles Leland III, Lucy Dotson, Levi the Dog, and Ted Garret. If I by any chance missed a character I am sincerely sorry, it was a complete mistake and I am not trying to give the impression that I own him/her. Please notify me if you notice an error and I will fix it as soon as I can. (Oh, and I don't own the 'Bay Watch' style of running into the water.) This goes for every single chapter in this story.
A/N: I know this chapter is basically fluff, but it will turn into more as soon as I get the main idea across. Hopefully by Chapter 2 I'll be able to really get into the story. Thanx for your patience!

Chapter 1
Lucy, Sue and Tara stood at the main desk in the lobby. They watched as the woman searched her computer for the correct file. When she breathed in, Tara knew she had found the problem. "I am so sorry," she said, "I don't know how this could have happened."
The women looked at her expectantly. "So?" Tara asked.
"Well, we have two adjoining rooms reserved for Mr. Dimitrius Gans, two more adjoining rooms reserved for a Sue Thomas and Lucy Dotson. I'm assuming that's you two?"
They nodded and she continued, "We have a single for Jack Hudson, a single for Myles Leland and a two-bed sweet under Bobby Manning. I'm so sorry Ms. Williams."
Bobby walked up behind them and leaned on the high counter facing Tara, "So, what's the verdict?"
"Well, they have no room reserved for me," Tara said, "and all the rooms are reserved or occupied."
"Wow, on our first free vacation and you get gypped. Sheila, you have some bad luck. But, no worries, who has an extra bed in their room?"
"You do," Sue said. Tara spun around and glared at her. Bobby smirked.
"Well, then. It's settled. I just hope there's enough room for the two of us."
"Well," Lucy said, "It is a sweet. So that shouldn't be a problem. Just remember not to fall in love with each other."
Tara glared at her two friends and mouthed, What are you doing?
Tara turned around but Bobby was already walking away. Mumbling to herself she picked up her bags and followed him. Lucy looked at Sue, "What did she say?" She mouthed.
"She wants to know who made the room reservations." Sue laughed.
"Sue, this was a brilliant plan. Pure genius."
Sue sighed, "This is going to be the best vacation ever!"
Tara squinted against the bright Caribbean sun. She looked at Lucy and said, "You are so lucky you don't need to tan."
Lucy laughed, "You're lucky you can tan." Donna nodded in agreement.
They lay back down of the beach towels and closed their eyes, basking in the heat. Tara heard a child's laugh and smiled to herself, she only regretted not hearing Bobby and Jack sneak up. Cold water drenched the four ladies and Levi completely. Sue, Lucy, Tara and Donna jumped up and glared at the two men running away when Myles walked up behind them.
"Hello ladies."
Lucy turned around with a stiff body and arms spread out and glared at him, "Myles," she warned.
"What? I was merely giving you a pleasant welcome, I thought you would take it better than me laughing at you."
"You don't laugh."
"Then what are you complaining about?" He settled down in a lawn chair, shielded by a large umbrella.
Lucy turned to Sue and said, "Why did he have to come?"
"Because Ted said the vacation was for all of us," Sue said.
"Hey! Are you two coming," Tara called to them. Her and Donna were running down the beach, "we need to get the guys back!"
Sue looked at Lucy once before she ran off after them, There's no way I'm going to pass up an opportunity to play in the water with Jack. Tara and were already running into the water 'Bay Watch' style, Tara aiming towards Bobby, Donna to D. Tara pushed off the sand and right into Bobby, knocking him over. He got up fast and Tara began swimming away. Bobby caught up fast, he picked her up by the waist and threw her into the air, seconds later she landed in the water, causing the water to fly into the air in all directions. She stood up and flipped her hair back. "Bobby!" She cried. "What was that for?"
"For knocking me off my feet!" He explained, then replayed the words in his head and noticed how is sounded. "Literally." He added. Tara just laughed and watched Sue and Jack wrestle in the water, he got her under water for a few seconds and stood there proudly, then when Sue didn't come up, he frantically searched the water. Tara and Bobby burst out laughing when Jack fell face first into the water and Sue reappeared smiling smugly. "And that, ladies and gentlemen, ishow it's done."
She began walking out of the water but Jack held her by the waist and carried her back into the water, Sue tried to squirm her way out but Jack was not letting go. He dunked her back in the water for another war.
