It had only been a couple of hours since Amber and Joel left and John could feel that something was wrong. He didn't know if it was his over protective, fatherly instinct kicking in or if it was just his mind playing tricks on him. He decided since the apartment was going to be just him tonight, he thought it would be nice if Natalie could come over. Since Amber moved in they hadn't gotten any alone time.

"Would you quit worrying?" Natalie said putting her hand on his cheek. "I'm sure everything is fine. You know she IS aloud to have some fun."

John sighed. "Yeah I know. I just have this gut feeling that something is going to happen." He put his arm around her, pulling her close.

"Well John, she's you daughter. You want to look out for her. But you can't be there all the time. I think that's what you're feeling." She rubbed his chest feeling the fabric against the tips of her fingers.

"Yeah I guess you right. Lets have some fun of are own." He said leaning in for a kiss, pushing her down on the couch. He straddled her, kissing her cheek bone and made his way down. She kissed his neck and started taking off his navy blue shirt, throwing it over the couch. They flipped over, Natalie started unbuckling his belt. She went back up, kissing his lips softly and started kissing his chest again, her hands following her lips. She heard him moan and unzipped his pants and pulled them down. The phone started ringing. Her hair whipped him in the face, as they both groaned.

"Go answer it, it might be important." She said getting up off of him. John ran into the bedroom in his boxers and answered his phone.

"McBain." He answered with a little irritation in his voice.

"John?" The person on the other line answered. They sounded like they were crying.

"Amber, what's wrong? Are you ok?" He asked concerned. She sounded scared. He was worried.

"I…I um need you to come and pick me up." She said just below a whisper. John paced around his room. He knew he shouldn't have trusted that punk with his daughter.

"Where are you at?"

"I'm…I'm at the station." She quickly answered.

"How the hell?... ok I'll be there soon." He said hanging up. He stormed into the 'living room'. He started grabbing his clothes and putting them back on.

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked confused. John was buttoning his shirt.

"Amber… she's at the station." He said sounding a bit short. "I'm sorry I had to cut this short." He went to the closet and grabbed his coat. By the time he turned around Natalie already had hers on. John was about to argue but decided not to. If Amber was in trouble he wanted to get there quickly. He grabbed her hand and rushed down to the station.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

"John's not going to be to pleased that his little girl lied to him." Rex said sitting on the desk. She smirked.

"Do you have to rub it in? This is your fault anyways." She said crossing her hands over her chest and crossed her legs in the chair in John's office.

"My fault? Hold up there Blonde. You were the one who lied to Daddy dearest and went with Mr. Sexy to Ziggy's."

"Yeah but you're the one who found me, knew I wasn't suppose to be there and brought me back here and ratted me out to Bo! Who made me call John and tell him to come and pick me up!" She yelled.

"Well sorry Princess Amber for trying to look out for you! That fight got way out of hand." Rex started rubbing his temples. Remembering what happened.

Flashback

"Oh my gosh." Amber yelped trying to hide behind Joel's muscular body.

"Who are we hiding from" He asked not moving.

"That guy…in the green shirt with ugly pink flowers." She said pointing from behind her. Joel followed her finger point.

"Why are we hiding from him?" He whispered.

"He knows John. Really well. Its John's girlfriend's brother. If he finds me here he will tell on me for sure. He heard John and me today fighting about going here on the way home from his work. Let's see if we can sneak out the back." She grabbed Joel's hand and weaved through the people. They were almost there when Amber bumped into someone knocking there drink on there shirt.

"Oh my goodness…I'm so sorry" Amber said apologizing.

"Sorry isn't good enough!" The man yelled. His breath reeked of beer and from the look on his face you could tell he was drunk. Joel stepped in-between them.

"Listen man, it was an accident. Here" Joel gave him some money. "Next round on me" He said and started to join Amber. He felt someone pull him by the arm and then punch him in the nose. Amber screamed making heads turn including Rex's. Joel punched back as they started a scene. Rex quickly came overseeing Amber trying to break up the fight and pulled her out.

"What the hell do you think you're doin?" He said grabbing her arm tightly, giving her a funny, brotherly look of disapproval. "I know John doesn't know you're here. You got 3 seconds to explain."

"I don't have to explain myself to you." She flung her arm out of his grasp. The cops had already come and started cuffing Joel and the other man. Amber ran to them. Luckily she knew that cop.

"Officer Shepard!" She waved.

"Well hey there Amber. What are you doing down here." He said as he was putting Joel and the other man In the back of the police car.

"Never mind that. I need a favor. That's my boyfriend… In the back…The younger one. Do you think you can let him out?"

"Sorry darlin But I can't do that." Rex came out soon and joined them.

"But why don't you hitch a ride from Mr. Balsom here and he'll take you to the station and you can me him up there." She looked up at Rex. Putting on a fake smile she said "That sounds great."

End of flashback

Rex looked at her, starting to feel bad for telling on her.

"Look, you shouldn't be lying to John. He knows a lot, if that means that you shouldn't be going somewhere, than that means you shouldn't be there." He noticed that she still was mad at him for ratting her out. She had a right to be, but Rex knew he was doing the right thing. He put his hand under her chin, making her look at him.

"If I explain to John what happened and soften his blow will you stop being mad at me." She thought for a minute.

"Maybe." She said shrugging. She stood up about to get some water. Rex could tell she was scared. Scared of what was going to happen when John found out she lied to him. He pulled her into a hug.

"Everything will be fine. McBain will be a little angry with you but he will get over it. I'll make sure of it."

"Thanks." She broke away from the hug, hearing footsteps getting closer to the door.
