A/N I do not own these characters. If I did I would be fabulously wealthy and wouldn't need to post my fan fiction here. I would be writing for the show and dining regularly with Michael Easton (Snicker perks of the job. LOL) and I wouldn't let that hack Higley near them.

Chapter 13

An hour later Bo and John came back into the room. John walked over to Natalie and took her aside. "I know you want to spend more time with your brother but it isn't safe to remain here any longer. They will know you are here by now." He told her in a hushed tone. He also wanted to talk to her in private about that phone call; the one she said was a wrong number. He could tell she was still shaken up about it.

Natalie nodded. She wanted to stay with Rex very badly but she knew the risk was too great, to herself and to Rex. She had been thinking a lot about what happened and had come to the conclusion that they hadn't beat up Rex for money or even information but as a lure, to bring her here, out in the open. After all it was much easier to find someone when they came to you. But that also meant that the phone call hadn't been a hoax. It was the real thing. She had to tell John about it. Which she would do the moment they were alone.

Bo and Rex talked as John and Natalie spoke in hushed tones a few feet away. "We are going to move you to a more secure location," Bo told him. "Until we catch these people you are in danger. I talked to John and he feels certain that the FBI can hide you while you recover and then they plan to either let you go or keep you in a safe house depending on how quickly this situation can be resolved."

"But what about Natty?" Rex protested. Not knowing if Bo would look out for her if she weren't a Buchanan made him struggle to sit up and say, "I can't leave my sister! She needs me!" Looking over at Natalie he saw that she had stopped speaking to John McBain and had began to move over to him.

"What's going on? You're planning on taking Rex somewhere?" She asked confused. Not that she thought it was a bad idea, but if Rex was going somewhere she wanted to go with him. "If you are I am going too. No way is he going with out me!"

As Bo sent him a pleading look John stepped in, "Look I'm certain the FBI can find a safe place to hide Rex until he is healed and..." Looking at Natalie he paused before saying, "Well you're both a lot safer separated." John waited for her inevitable explosion of temper. It didn't come and he was shocked.

"Look, can this wait a few minutes. There is something I need to say." Natalie said calmly. She wanted to get the DNA test out of the way before anything else was done. No sense worrying about that when she didn't have to. This was a hospital after all, what better place to do it then here?

John said, "Ok. But why wait?"

"Because I've also made a decision about the DNA test." Natalie informed him. She wanted to talk to John but this would only take a minute or two and she could wait that long.

Bo heard that and he was anxious to hear her answer. He hoped she would agree to it and then felt a little guilty. Her brother was beat up and in the hospital and here he was trying to rip her life apart even more. "You don't have to decide now..." he started to say but Natalie cut him off.

"No I want to. I need to know one way or the other and since we are already in the hospital I was hoping you could draw the blood now. I don't want to have to come back here again for this." She told him. She was telling the truth too. She hated hospitals and didn't want to spend any more time in one then she had to.

Bo called the nurse's desk and explained that he wanted a DNA test run and being a Buchanan he got immediate results. A nurse was in immediately and drew blood from both Natalie and from Bo. When Natalie had asked why Bo he had told her that it was possible that he was her father and the news didn't sound as bad to Natalie as she had thought it would.

Finally they were finished and the nurse had left after telling Bo she would have the results for him in about 3 days. Natalie looked at John and asked, "Can we talk?

Nodding he motioned for her to follow him out into the hall. When they got out there John noticed that the hallway was kind of crowded so he kept walking till they reached the elevator. "I think it would be more private in here," he told her.

Natalie followed as they walked to the elevator and grinned at his explanation. She had actually been thinking that very same thing. She would rather not have the whole hospital knowing that there was some crazy guy calling her. "Ok," she said and hit the button on the wall next to the elevator. Stepping in as the doors slid open and reaching for the door close button the moment John stepped in, moments later they were alone.

As the elevator moved John reached out and hit the emergency stop button so they could talk with out interruptions. Turning towards her he noticed that a strand of hair had fallen in her face and his fingers itched with the desire to brush it from her face. Giving in to the impulse he brought up his hand and tenderly tucked the loose strand behind her ear. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked softly, his hand tingling pleasantly as he brought his hand away from her hair, accidentally brushing her cheek.

Natalie was momentarily stunned by his unexpected action. She was shocked at the rush of desire such a small touch sent racing through her body. With any further thought Natalie reached out and grabbed Johns shirt, pulling him closer. Before she could think about what a bad idea this was she took her hand and pulled his head down and kissed him.

He was startled when Natalie grabbed his shirt and dragged him into a passionate kiss but he recovered quickly. All thought about what she had wanted to talk about and where they were forgotten. Taking over the kiss immediately he slid his arms around her waist and dragged her closer. Thrusting his tongue into her mouth he tasted her and the taste when straight to his head sending a shaft of pure heat straight to his groin. His cock hardening till it was as hard as stone he pressed his hips against hers and backed her till she was against the wall.

Natalie felt his hardness pressed into her and moaned against his mouth. What had started out as a simple kiss had turned to something entirely different, something hot and wild, something uncontrollable. And she loved it; hell she reveled in it. Kissing him just as deeply her hands began to roam his back, sliding up and down restlessly.

As her hands stroked his back John's hands were far from idle. Taking them from her hips he slid them under her shirt to cup her breasts. He groaned against her mouth at the feel of them and began to squeeze them gently, still grinding his hips against hers.

"Well...Well...Well..." Said a loud voice, echoing in the small room. "Looks like someone is being naughty."

Hearing the voice they pulled apart as if someone had thrown ice water on them. Taking his hands from underneath her shirt John stepped back quickly. Both were breathing raggedly and having a hard time catching their breath.

"So this is what passes for talking these days?" asked the voice. Crazed laughter filled the room.

"Who are you? What do you want?" John demanded as he searched the elevator for listening or video devices.

"Ohh, Red hasn't told you yet about our little talk? Shame on you Red, I had hoped you would tell the good agent about our engagement." Came the gruff reply. He clucked as if he were disappointed in her and said, "Oh Red and I have something of an understanding."

"You bastard!" Natalie shouted, shaking violently in fear. Her earlier desire all but forgotten and in its place was the wrenching terror that some how this man would hurt the people she loved, people like Rex or heck even Roxy.

"Now...Now... Wouldn't want to make me mad would you? How is your brother by the way? Did he like our little chat?" There was more chilling laughter and then his voice dropped and turned menacing, "sometimes people get hurt, some times people die and someone has to pay. Well someone died and now you have to pay, Red. You understand?" with that the voice cut off and the elevator was silent, dead silent.
