Sandles Lover: You know with all this talk of flying monkey's your really making me want to go watch The Wizard of Oz. lol.
Author's Note: I was re-reading the chapters last night and I realized that I had left out a line that Ricky's shooter had sad to Tim right before he ran out of the alley. But it won't make that big of a difference...atleast I don't think so. Anyways...you'll see by the time the last chapter comes around.
Speed'sGirl22: So you've thinked you figured it out huh? Oh no! I've pulled a Donahue "If the audience figures it out before the hour is up, they get bored. And then we know were not doing our jobs." (well she said something to that effect)...anyways...hmm...just what is it your thinking?
..OK CHAPTER 13...HMM...COULD SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN?
Calleigh turned around in the tub so Tim could see her face. "Baby, you can tell me. I'm not going to make fun of you or anything."
Tim sighed and pushed Calleigh's hair behind her shoulders. "That's not what I'm afraid of."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid..." Tim took a second and looked down at Calleigh's wedding ring and kissed it lightly and then looked back up at her. "I'm afraid that you'll see how stupid I was."
"Baby, I could never think you were stupid."
"Calleigh...you weren't there, ok. I...reacted..badly. Just...forget it ok."
Calleigh leaned forward and kissed Tim's forehead lightly and then rested hers against his. "Just tell me when your ready, ok?"
Tim nodded and lifted her head up. Calleigh looked into those chocolate brown eyes of his, those eyes she could spend hours getting lost in. And she automatically knew that she was safe, protected, and loved. "I love you."
Calleigh moved her hand from Tim's chest and placed it on his stubbled cheek. "I love you to."
Tim smiled and shifted slightly so that Calleigh was straddling him in the water. He then bent forward slightly and began planting little kisses on her neck. "Your so beautiful."
Calleigh smiled and pushed Tim backward gently so his back was resting against the back of the tub. "Shh... no more talking." Before Calleigh planted a loving kiss on his lips she looked into his eyes and saw that old husband of hers. The one that was fearless, reckless, passionate, and stubborn as hell. And just at that moment she realized she missed her old husband. She wanted this husband to stay for as long as she could because the new husband she had, the one that was a scared, lost, lonely, fearful, jumpy little puppy, just wasn't the man she knew to love. Not that she wouldn't still love him until the day they both lost there lives, but she still missed the old Tim. And she had every intention of doing everything in her power to get him back.

The crazed bomber entered his hotel suite. His parents had sold the family home a long time ago, so this little place was just going to have to do for the time being. Plus he wouldn't be staying here long if he had anything to do with it. He sat his suitcase on the bed and took out a piece of paper and his all to familiar pen and began to write his next...'death threat'...so to speak.
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Calleigh laid in Tim's arms, in his bedroom and smiled happily. "Well that was different."
Tim looked down at her quizically. "What do you mean."
"Well." she replied simply in her southern drawl. "We normally keep our activities in the bedroom. Not the bathroom."
Tim smirked and kissed the top of her head. "Just go to sleep, Cal. I'm gonna go get somethin to drink do you want anything?"
"No."
"Ok." Tim kissed the top of her head and walked down stairs. On his way down the stairs he looked at the front door to check to make sure it was locked when a small envelope fell threw the mail slot and hit his foot. "What the?" Tim beant down and picked it up, he looked at it for a second and then opened the front door to reveal no one. He raised an eyebrow and closed the door. He broke the seal on the envelope on his way to the kitchen.
You think going to a new state is going to stop me from finding you? From getting to you? Your wrong, Speedle. And remember...to put the pieces together.
Tim dropped the letter after reading the last part. Put the pieces together. Tim closed his eyes and tried to take deep shallow breath's to prevent him from passing out right then and there. He looked down at his hands which now shook like crazy. He tried to grab onto the stool next to him the counter top anything but instead his hand grabbed the glass on the counter and it fell to the floor with a loud crash. He could feel his oxygen cut off and his face get very hot. He knew what was happening to him, he was having another panick attack. And he hadn't had one of those in years. He grabbed a hold of the counter and held onto it until his knuckles turned white. He didn't raise his head until he felt Calleigh's cool hands on his arm and then his forehead. He could barely make out her words but what he did hear clearly was. "It's ok, baby. Your safe." 'Yeah sure, Cal." he thought to himself. Safe for how long? It was all going to change now that he knew who the crazed bomber was.
