"You will be safe. Come on." Trixie nodded as Murphy opened the door and lanced to see that the bar had gotten a bit more crowded before he gripped her hand and pulled her to the stairs that were behind the bar, away form the table Dan sat at still with Conner. When Murphy got her up the stairs and into the hall up there she noticed two doors, on straight ahead and one to the right as Murphy opened the one straight ahead and showed her a small but livable room. It had a ragged bed, a small kitchen spot and a small bathroom but it had its own tub. It reminded her of a sleazy hotel room but it wasn't sleazy, just small. As she looked around she smiled before Murphy pushed her gently to sit on the bed and nodded, holding his hands out as he backed away gently. "Don't move, I will be right back. I am going to go get Doc for ya and we can talk alright?" Trixie nodded as he turned to head back down the steps.

"Murphy?" He froze, he hadn't expected her to call out his name and damn it if it didn't sound like velvet coming off her lips.

"Yeah lass?"

"Be careful, he will try to kill you." Murphy frowned before nodding and walking down the steps and finding Doc quickly. When he turned from the customer he was serving he nodded to Conner and Doc understood.

"Conner! I nee-e-e-ed ya for a mo-o-o-men-n-nt. Fucker!" Conner glanced back to Doc, nodding to Dan and his friends before walking over to the bar and glancing to him, Murphy walking up to him as well now, throwing his arm around Conner and smiling.

"Whats going on brother?"

"The girl, shes up in the spare bedroom. She fine and shaken but she agreed to ya wild idea. She swears that man will kill us though. Want to tell him or should I?"

"I got a better idea brother. Doc, could ya do me a favor fer the day?" Doc nodded as Conner talked to him for a moment then turned around to watch Dan and his goons to make sure they didn't go looking for the girl. Murphy smiled as he got them a drink each, waiting for the show, and within ten minutes, which was a record for this part of town, cops busted in and started shouting to everyone. Dan and his men of course stood and went to leave when the cops came to Doc to ask who the guy was that he called about, who was the drunk one fighting everyone, and when he explained that the guy had left, he was whispering low enough that Dan and his goons didn't hear but they didn't stick around either. Dan took a few moments to search for Trixie but when he didn't find her he left angrier then a riled up attack dog.

"Some man, leaving ya girl like that just because of cops."

"Some men just don't deserve women brother."

"He certainly don't Conner, you should see her." Conner's eyebrows rose as he glanced up the stairs and nodded. Murphy smiled and nodded himself before they walked up the stairs to tell Trixie what had happened. Murphy knocked on the door, not wanting to scare her or interrupt anything she might have been doing, but when she opened the door and smiled she let the brothers in.

"He didn't fight yall did he?"

"No, he left, that cops came."

"Oh no! Cops…what did they want?"

"We called them, scared him good and he left ya without a thought." Trixie frowned at this thought before she nodded finally and glanced to them.

"You don't have to do this. I can leave, find him and maybe he wont come back."

'I don't told ya lass, you weren't leaving with him. Either alone or with someone ya trust but not him. He isnt good for ya." Trixie nodded, but she knew hed be back, and that scared her.

"What about Doc. Is he mad?"

"Naw, hes happy hes going to have a friend to talk with while ya are here." Trixie sighed as she looked skyward and closed her eyes, back pressed against the wall and smiling.

"Grazie (Italian – Thank you)" Conner was a bit surprised by the language she spoke and turned to Murphy, he was smiling as well when he nudged his brother and gave him that look. Turing to Trixie, Murphy walked up to her before smiling and chuckling a bit, getting her attention before he glanced up to her, looking from under his lashes and given him a shy school boy appearance, which put Trixie at ease as she smiled back to him.

"Parli italiano? (Italia – You speak Italian?)" Trixie smiled as she nodded and thought for a moment before glancing to them both.

"Je parle beaucoup de langues pour être honnête. (French – I speak a lot of languages to be honest.)" Conner chuckled now as he walked over to her and crossed his arms in front of him, smiling as well.

"How many and what?" Trixie thought for a moment before holding her fingers up and ticking off the languages she knew how to speak.

"French, Italian, Irish, Latin, enough Spanish to get by, German, a bit of Russian…didn't like it there, and I can half ass understand American." She laughed at her own joke as the boys stared at her in awe. She knew a lot of languages, like them, but they wondered how.

"Where are ya from? Youre accent, it sounds sort of…"

"Country? It is. I was born over in Spain. My mother, she was a traveler. I was born two months early though so she didn't travel there planning on having me. She said the flight was what brought me out, but we stayed there for a while. I think I was a year before she decided to bring me home, to my father here in the states. I lived with him for about twelve years. He…he has another job that I can't be around. When it go tough to be there for me he contacted my mother, who was in Russia at the time, and had her meet me at the airport to gather me up. I stayed with her than, traveling about every year to a new home and taking a month to learn the language from top teachers in the places we stayed. First France, when I was 13, then Germany, for my 14th. We were in Italy when I was 15 and at 16 we finally moved to Spain where she showed me where I was born. By the time I hit 18 I wanted to travel myself alone, but she said she wanted to join me for one last place…she took me to Ireland. Probably the friendliest and most beautiful place ive been. We stayed there for right at a year before father called and asked us to come home. I had been traveling the world for over 7 years, learned 7 languages and he finally took notice that he needed me around. But we came back, been here a little over a year now and here I am today." Murphy was amazed, while Conner was shocked. They turned to each other when Doc knocked on the door and entered as Trixie called out to him.

"Well hello there youn-n-ng one."

"Hi. Im so sorry for having myself thrown into your house, a beautiful one at that, but belive me when I say the gratitude doesnt fall short of life saving. Im very appreciative of this chance sir." Trixie smiled before she instinctively put her feet together, faced Doc, and folded her hands in front of her before bowing her head to him, waiting. Doc turned to Conner and Murphy who shrugged as they walked by her side. Conner put his hand gently on her shoulder, which told her she could look, and as she glanced up to look at Doc she noticed it was Conner who was touching her.

"Why did you do that lass?" Trixie questioned him before she glanced down to her feet, how she seemed to be at an attention pose when she blushed and stumbled over her own feet to move.

"Oh im sorry, I didn't mean to upset. Its just….im used to…I mean.."

"Lass, were not like him. We aren't going to expect ya to do any of that that ya did with him." Trixie smiled as she nodded to Conner before glancing around the room again, smiling as she took a deep breath.

"Well, spea-a-a-aking of them. They ju-u-ust drove by an-n-nd glanced in. Ass!" Trixie flinched a bit as Murphy gripped her shoulders and shook his head.

"He aint hollering at ya, don't worry. It's a condition." She smiled as Conner went to Doc and slapped his shoulder.

"Ya it is isnt it Doc?" Doc eyed him before he started to shake his head and frown.

"Do-o-ont you da-a-are boy!"

"Aw come now!"

"Don't!" Conner smiled to Murphy before he leaned over Trixie some and looked right to Doc before laughing a bit and getting his attention.

"Would someone please come over here and…."

"Fuck!"

"me up the…."

"Ass!" Conner and Murphy laughed as Doc rolled his eyes and glanced to Trixie with sympathy before he notice she was smirking as she tuned to Murphy and shook her head.

"That's mean!"

"That's funny lass!" Conner was right but she didn't want to be rude, she got hit for being rude, but when the bar phone went off he glanced behind him and frowned. Doc was going to go grab it but Murphy and Conner left to grab it, leaving Doc to look over to Trixie and smile.

"Please excu-u-use the boys. They li-i-ike to pick o-o-on me some, but the-e-ey mean no ha-a-arm." Trixie smiled before shaking her head and crossing her arms over her chest.

"No harm done to me, for a change, and its fine. I think its cute how they act with you. Ive never seen someone so at ease when playing with friends."

"You've ne-e-ever been around go-o-od men than." Trixie shook her head before sitting on the bed and sighing in content before she laid back on it and spread her arms wide.

"This is nice." Doc walked over to the bed, glancing down to her as he looked at the ratty old mattress and used white sheets that he kept on there for the boys when they needed a place to crash.

"Its not mu-u-uch but its someth-h-hing." Trixie gazed up to him before sitting up and curling her feet under her, looking around the room now like a child in a candy store and shaking her head.

"I think its wonderful. When you have spent the last year or so without your own room, nothing that you could touch and not be hurt over, or a tub to soak in by yourself, you miss the simple things in life. This to me…would be like an upscale mansion home for a movie star. I love it." Doc smiled at her innocence, briefly wondering if the boys knew what they were getting into with this one, before Murphy popped his head back into the room and smiled as he noticed how Trixie was at ease.

"Doc, that was Rocco. We got to go see him, do ya need anything before we go?"

"Nothing ri-i-ight now thanks. Ass!"

'Trixie?" Trixie turned to Murphy a she immediately shook her head and frowned.

"Uh no, im good." He titled his head before glancing her over and grinning.

"No clothes? No food? anything?" Trixie glanced up to him again before smiling, earnestly , and shaking her head to him as sweetly as she could.

"Murphy, you got me away from him. That's all I could ask for. Thank you." She grinned before Doc nodded to her and went to leave the room.

"Theres soap and sham-m-mpoo in the sho-o-ower. If you want to ta-a-akt a bath. I can bring up a tow-w-wle later. Fucking hell!" Doc walked out, shutting the door and separating Trixie and Murphy as he took the boy downstairs and let Trixie get settled.

"She alright Murph?"

"She said she doesnt need anything but…"

"You id-d-d-iot. Shes shy. She needs thi-i-ings he just wont sa-a-ay. Shit! Get her so-o-ome clothes and maybe some ba-a-ath items." Conner and Murphy glanced to each other before turning to Doc and looking like they had fear in their eyes right now.

'Bath items? Wha do ya mean? Like…towels?"

"Wash cloths?" Doc glared at the two boys, they weren't that stupid he knew.

"Bath stuff li-i-ike sham-m-mpoo and soap that wont make her sme-e-ell like a man. Something fem-m-mine. And on her clothes, better sti-i-ick to jeans and shirts. Fuck!" Doc shook as he started to wipe down the bar as Murphy shrugged and turned to Conner.

"Ya know women better brother, what size is she?" Conner chuckled before thinking, remembering how he had gotten a glance of her when she walked away to the bathroom before his brother went to talk to her and he smiled.

"I would say a 8 or 10 in the jeans, maybe medium in shirt but I'd go with large to play it safe."

"Yeah I don't want her to think we want her to dress like the asshole had her doing ya know?"

"No, so large in shirts." Doc smirked, seeing an oppurtinty to get them back for picking on him as he casually leaned over to them and looked between them both.

"Don't for-r-rget her underw-w-wear. Id go with an 6 if shes an 8 in je-e-eans." Murphy blushed as Conner blanked at that. They had seen women's underwear before, felt it, took it off of them, but bought it? Nah.

"Uh yeah. Got ya." Murphy walked out of the bar with Conner following as Doc laughed at their faces before going back to the work he was doing and letting them do what they needed to do.
