I groaned and stretched and wiggled my butt under Ranger's hand. For some reason he's taken to sleeping with his hand on my butt if I'm not right up under him or on top of him. I guess he chooses to stay close to me in whatever way he can. Since I've been pregnant I sleep pretty restlessly. I don't know if I'm dreaming about all the things that could go wrong or if I'm suddenly very aware when I'm trying to go to sleep what position the bean is in. For instance, I never sleep on my stomach except when I'm already way out. Sometimes I wake up like that, but I never go to sleep like that. He's also got his hand on my ass because now that we're happily married…we both sleep naked. I suppose it's so he can reach over and try to talk me into another round at any time. He doesn't have to try hard.

His hand tightened before opening and lightly cupping a butt cheek, "hmmm."

I grinned. That was his morning wood groan. I've come to recognize it pretty well. I wriggled closer to him and nestled into his arms and up against that morning wood and he sighed.

"I don't know why you fought getting married for so long," he whispered scattering kisses along my shoulder and neck, "this marriage thing is good stuff."

I shook my head with a smile, "really 'Mr. I don't do Relationships', I'm the one who had a problem?"

He grinned and rolled me to my back nipped my shoulder. "I was a bit slow on the uptake as well."

"Really, you don't say," I sighed as his mouth slid over my skin. You'd think you'd get bored with being aroused and satisfied all the time, but oddly…it never gets old. Who knew?

Anyway, to make a long story short, we were late to the morning meeting…again. I think I need to start setting the alarm clock earlier or sleeping in another room. Nah…I'll set the alarm earlier, there's no way I'm missing morning wood. Anyway, we walked in and a cheer went up in the room. I rolled my eyes and took a seat as Ranger shook his head and grabbed his clipboard.

"All right you bunch of idiots," he growled. "We're two minutes late and we're on our freaking honeymoon…cut us some slack."

There were a lot of poor baby comments after that. Ranger just raised his brow till it was over.

"Okay, everyone has a task already assigned today. Stephanie and I are going to see Aurora," he raised a brow at me.

"Joanna White," I supplied.

"Right, Joanna White," he nodded. "Does everyone know their task?" He looked around the room. "Then let's do it and we'll meet back here at 1600 hours."

I got to my feet and grabbed my backpack.

"What's in that thing," Mitch asked thumping it when he paused by me.

"My supplies," I shrugged. "Look, if I'm walking around at Disney World with a clipboard it's going to look suspicious, but if I have on a backpack…that's normal."

"Especially one that says Walt Disney World 2009," Ali grinned. "Good idea."

"I'll grab some for everyone," I suggested.

"Good idea Babe," Ranger said kissing my head. "Come on her shift starts at nine. We need to get over there by 8."

"Are you going to feed me breakfast," I sighed.

"I promise I'll feed you," he shook his head as we headed for the monorail. We weren't the only ones from our team on the monorail. Cal and Natalie were there as well as Kate and Brian. Kate was going to the crime scene and everyone else was tagging along to check it out as well and to do a more thorough search in the daylight. Ranger and I didn't mind that they were checking our work. We appreciated it. Hell, we'd been on our honeymoon when it went down.

"Are you guys going to grab breakfast in the park," Kate asked.

"He promised to feed me," I said seriously. "There aren't that many places to get breakfast though. There's the bakery on Main Street."

"Is that it," she frowned.

"Pretty much except for sit down places with Character Meals," I nodded. "You can probably grab a coffee and a sweet roll somewhere though."

She sighed, "The bakery it is."

"Kate…I'm really starting to think we have some things in common," I grinned at her.

"I like my food," she laughed.

"Amen sister," I said and we met in a high five.

We all got in line at the bakery and got some breakfast before separating. They headed for Tomorrowland and we headed for the castle to meet Aurora…er Joanna. It was really hard to separate the characters from the girls. I was hoping that a little one on one time with Joanna would help me out.

As agreed she was waiting in the middle of the large mosaic hallway of the castle. "Is there any place quiet we can talk," I asked after our introductions.

"Follow me," she said. She lead us toward Mickey's Toon Town and then down a long winding path that was almost completely empty. "Nobody ever uses this path. It connects Mickey's Toon Town to Tomorrowland. Most people go through Fantasyland."

"It's very peaceful," I sighed.

"Joanna I understand that Sandy was a good friend of yours?" Ranger leaned against the light pole by the bench casually.

"Oh yea," she sighed and stared off into space. "Sandy, Amanda and I were hired at about the same time. We went through orientation and training together. We're the same age and we just hit it off. We're even all from the north which makes it even easier. We got each other. I'm from Brooklyn, Amanda is from Boston and Sandy was from Trenton. We got down here and we ended up getting an apartment together at first."

"What happened?"

"Oh you know, boys and stuff," she rolled her eyes. "Amanda started dating this banker and she moved in with him. Then I met Brady…my ex, he works for one of the local hotels. Sandy didn't settle down, she dated a bunch of different guys. In the end we all kind of moved out and Sandy moved into a smaller place. We still see each other, we're friends. We're just not attached at the hip anymore even though both Amanda and I eventually broke up with our boyfriends."

"So she dated a lot of different guys," I nodded. "Where did she meet them?"

"Well…mostly here," she sighed. "Our hours are really weird, you know? It's hard to meet guys that aren't part of the whole thing. I mean you can work an hour here and then a couple of hours there. We're here in eight hour shifts, but a lot of that time is spent rehearsing or something rather than actually being with the guests. So we just hung out together and kind of with other people who are here too. We don't get out to places to meet other people as much as we'd like and we don't spend a lot of time online or anything."

"Have the three of you been princesses all along," Ranger asked.

"Yea," she laughed. "We are and have been. We used to joke that they were just casting us in our rightful places. The thing is everyone knows Cinderella because of the hair, you know? And what's not to know about Ariel, she's a mermaid. Everybody knows her. But not everyone knows who Aurora is."

Ranger grimaced.

I rolled my eyes, "she's Sleeping Beauty."

She grinned at me, "You know your princesses."

"Yea," I laughed. "I'm a little obsessed with Disney."

Ranger regarded me with a contemplative look.

"So," I straightened, "when is the last time you talked to Sandy?"

"Three or four days ago, the day before she was murdered," she said seriously. "All three of us met at Downtown Disney and had lunch together at McDonalds and just talked and caught up. We had a rule that we'd have lunch together at least once a month," she sighed and wiped away a stray tear. "Sandy was…she was like the glue that held us together. You know what I mean? She's that person who knows that relationships take work…all of them and she's willing to do her part and she's willing to crack the whip on everyone else so they'll do theirs. She's great. She was great," she sighed and gazed off into space again.

"Did she mention that she was having problems with anyone?"

"Not really," she shrugged. "I mean, there are always guys trying to get into her pants…you know what I mean? But nobody that was being forceful about it or anything," she shrugged. "She was sort of used to it. She had this way of telling a guy he was just so sweet as she blew him off. As far as I know she wasn't having any problems."

"Did she have a boyfriend now?"

"No," she shook her head.

"How about a friend with privileges," I smiled.

She laughed, "She used to. His name was Jake Freeman. He worked here too. He's Prince Charming," she rolled her eyes. "He was a bit of an ass, but according to Sandy he was good in the sack."

"But that's all they did…screw," I raised a brow.

"As far as I know," she nodded. "She didn't mention that he was more than that. I think Amanda even gave him a tumble."

"You didn't," I raised a brow.

"No," she shook her head grimly, "like I said…he's an ass."

"So as far as you know there's nobody who'd want her dead," Ranger asked.

"As far as I know there's nobody who'd ever wish her ill," she said seriously. "I'm telling you, Sandy was a sweet heart. She's gorgeous. She's sweet. She's funny. She's the perfect girl. She was a great friend," her voice changed as a sob clutched the back of her throat.

I reached over and rubbed her back gently as some people walked past us laughing.

"Nobody could want her dead," she finally whispered. "She was a good person. A person who would kill her has to be a monster."

"Okay," I said softly.

"I have to go get ready. I'm supposed to be on stage in an hour."

"Of course," I handed her a card. "If you think of anything else, please call us. We want to find this person and stop them."

She nodded. "I will. Thank you for helping her." She got up and hurried away.

I watched her go as Ranger sat back on the bench.

"What do you think Babe?"

"I think she's hiding something," I said quietly.

"Like what," he frowned.

"I don't know," I sighed. "But she's hiding something. She knows something. I get the feeling she's scared."

"You don't think she did it, do you?"

"No," I shook my head. "I don't. But she's afraid of something or someone. She wasn't having consensual sex with her. That was a man."

"We have no guarantee at this point that it was consensual," Ranger reminded me.

"No we don't," I agreed.

"I do like it here, it's very peaceful," he sighed.

"Yea it is," I agreed. "We need to remember this spot. What time are we meeting Amanda?"

"We're meeting her in about four hours. We can go work or we can ride some rides," he suggested.

I laughed, "We have to buy fourteen backpacks."

He shook his head, "can you see Tank or Cal wearing one of those?"

"No, but I couldn't see them in Goofy or Donald Duck Tee Shirts either and now I have," I grinned at him.

"You have a point," he got to his feet and pulled me up. "Then let's go shopping."

We bought fourteen backpacks and took the time to make sure they were as different as we possibly could. We didn't want them to be too much alike or it would look suspicious. We took them back to our 'command central' and left them with Lula and Jess who were cataloging materials found in the vicinity of the murder. Once they cataloged them they'd take them to Manuel and Connie for analysis. After dropping them off and getting a quick status report we headed back to the park. We still had a couple of hours before we were supposed to meet with Amanda.

"I'm getting hungry," I sighed.

"Me too," Kate said with a grin in my ear.

"Geez, you scared me," I groaned.

She laughed, "We're on the wait list for the Plaza restaurant. Do you want us to add you to our party?"

"If it won't make your wait too much longer," I nodded.

"I'll find out," Cal said and went to the podium.

A few minutes later we were being seated. They said it didn't matter they would have gotten that table anyway. The menu was one page and mostly sandwiches with one salad.

Guess what Ranger ordered? You got it. He ordered the Chicken Strawberry Salad and water. I ordered the plaza club and a chocolate shake. Cal went with the Angus Chuck Cheeseburger and a strawberry shake. Natalie ordered a Tuna Salad sandwich and tea. Kate got a turkey sandwich and a chocolate shake. Brian finished it off with a cheese steak sandwich and a strawberry shake.

"How did you interview go," Brian asked quietly to Ranger who was sitting on his left. It was easy to do. The restaurant was crowded and everyone was busy with their own vacation.

"Good," Ranger nodded. "Steph thinks she's keeping secrets."

"Honey all women keep secrets," Kate said with a smile.

"Yea…but secrets about Sandy," I said softly. "She seemed nervous…or scared."

"Oh," she frowned, "now that I don't like."

"Me either," Ranger nodded. "What about you guys? Did you find anything we missed?"

"No…we just expanded the search," Cal said seriously. "She had to get in there some way. We know it's pretty much a ruined crime scene. We looked for things that didn't belong."

"Good plan," Ranger nodded.

"Do you still think its inside," Natalie whispered.

"I'm even more sure of it," I nodded.

"That sucks," Cal sighed. "This is the happiest place on earth."

"Yea," Brian sighed with him. "I've been thinking about it and after doing the research, I have some ideas."

"Go on," Ranger said.

"Not here," he said glancing around.

"The walls have ears," Ranger nodded with a small smile.

"Yea," he agreed.

"Morning meeting, or sooner," he asked.

"The morning meeting is fine. We need to finish the cursory work first," he said seriously.

"What are you guys doing next?"

"We're going back to command and helping with the cataloging and pray that Manuel doesn't string us up for bringing him all this crap," Cal sighed.

"Brian, why don't you and Kate go and see what you can find out about one Jake Freeman," Ranger said quietly. "He's prince charming here."

"Not at this table," Natalie raised a brow.

Ranger burst out laughing. "Sorry…I didn't expect that."

She winked at him, "keeping you on your toes Ricardo."

He laughed again, "Anyway…according to Joanna, Sandy and Jake were friends with privileges."

"But Joanna thinks he's an ass," I reminded him.

"That she does," Ranger agreed. "Anyway, see if you can find him. If you do, try and talk to him or set up a time to talk."

"Sounds good," Brian nodded. "My old FBI skills will come in handy."

"What other skills do you have," Kate batted her eyes at him.

A flush went up Brian's face and Ranger laughed again.

"I swear I don't think I've heard you laugh this much in an eternity," Cal shook his head.

"Life is different," Ranger leaned over to kiss my head. "Life is much, much different."

After lunch we made plans to meet with Cal and Natalie later for dinner and headed off to meet Amanda at the castle. We took her back to our spot to talk to her after introducing ourselves to her.

She was immediately more nervous than Joanna had been at any time during our conversation.

"Just relax," I said with a gentle smile, "as long as you didn't kill her you're fine."

She blinked owlishly and her green eyes sparkled with tears, "I'd never hurt her. I adored her." She sniffed.

Ranger and I waited patiently for her to get herself together.

"There are a lot of alternative relationships here and a lot of princesses have been part of it. Because we all hung out together people used to say that we were a love triangle," she took a deep shaky breath. "Joanna and Sandy are straight. I'm bisexual. But I'd never do anything to either of them. When I say I love them, it's like they're my sisters…my family…you know? I wouldn't degrade them with anything sexual."

"Can you think of anyone who had anything against Sandy?"

"No," she whispered. "I've had nothing but her murder on my mind since I found out about it. Sandy's kind of straight up, you know? She didn't have boyfriends. She didn't sleep around. She had a sexual thing with Jake, but it was because she had itches and he was persistent. She said she'd never be in a relationship with him, but he was always good for four or five orgasms." She sighed, "He was good for at least that many."

"That's not a bad guy to have around," I grinned.

She chuckled, "no…he was good in bed. He didn't talk about screwing you with his friends either. He's an ass in other ways though. There was no pillow talk, just sex. He only agreed to sleep with me because Sandy asked him to." She shook her head. "I don't think he was that into me. He was very reluctant. I think we slept together two or three times."

"How did he feel about Sandy?"

"They were friends," she shrugged. "I mean he didn't just screw her like he did me. They talked and hung out. He always left when I came around and as far as I know he never slept with Jo or anything."

"Do you think he had feelings for her?"

"Maybe," she frowned thoughtfully, "I don't know. He's hard to read, you know?"

"Can you think of anyone who'd want to hurt her?"

"Nobody," she sighed.

"What did she do when she wasn't working," Ranger asked.

"She hung out here mostly," she dimpled up at us. "Sandy's here because she loves Disney. She loves being here. She just sits and watches the people especially at the front because she says their first look is the most priceless. She took pictures for people. She was a nice girl." She sighed, "I really hope you catch whoever did this to her."

Ranger handed her his card, "if you think of anything else, give us a call."

"Okay," she nodded and pocketed the card.

"Where do you think we'll find Jake?"

"He's on the schedule today. He should be working."

"Some of our colleagues are going to try to talk to him, if they don't get him, can you ask him to give us a call?"

"Sure," she nodded.

"Thanks," Ranger smiled.

"You're welcome," she got to her feet. She took a step and paused and turned back to us, "when you find him…make sure he pays."

Ranger gave her a slight nod and she turned and walked away. He watched till she was out of sight before turning to me, "Babe?"

"She's hiding something too. I'd love to talk to this Jake."

"Yea…let's head back and see if Brian and Kate had any luck with that. If that doesn't work, we'll talk to Jack."

"Sounds good," I nodded and let him pull me to my feet.

"We need to head back anyway. If we walk we'll get back just in time for our meeting."

"Sounds good," I agreed.

As we walked I thought about our conversation with the girls. They were hiding something from us. I just hoped it wasn't something that could get them killed.
