Chapter 9

Ennis checked into the motel and as soon as he did he left and went looking for the police station. He was soon lost and had to ask someone for directions.

"Excuse me" Ennis asked a young man that stood beside him waiting to cross the street.

"Yeah" The young man turned around. "Mr. Del Mar" The young man stated in surprise.

"Johnny" Ennis looked unsurely at him.

"Yeah. It's me" Johnny was clearly excited, Ennis could tell from his voice. "Yer here 'cause a Mr. Twist" His voice changed from excitement to sadness. He was avoiding eye contact by looking at his sneakers.

"Yeah I am, Do ya know anything 'bout it?"

"Well I was doing a little finding out. I'll tell ya what I found out but not here lets go to the diner down the street" Johnny jerked his thumb towards a diner across the street.

"Fine by me" Ennis was curious and eager to find out what Johnny knew.

When they got to the diner Johnny picked a booth in the corner. They sat opposite each other.

"Well I suppose I should tell ya what happened" Johnny took a deep before he began his story. "I was in here the other day and I saw Mr. Twist and just said hello and asked what he was doing here, ya know small talk anyway before Mr. Twist came in I was talking to Ms. Newsome's cousin he's real close ta Mr. Newsome anyway when Bobby told me 'bout the debts I thought well Frank, that's his name would know something 'bout it at least, so I saw him in the diner and decided ta ask him" Johnny stopped he thought Ennis looked like he wanted to say something and he did.

"If L.D is close with the Frank fella wouldn't he have told him 'bout Bobby and yerself. Were ya not worried that he woulda done something ta ya?" Ennis asked in a low voice.

"No really I know how ta throw a good punch and I knew he wouldn't do anything in a busy place like this and I said he was close ta Mr. Newsome that doesn't make them the same" Something in Johnny's voice said there was more to that then suggested.

"Ya mean that Frank's..." Ennis trailed off while Johnny was nodding.

"Yup. Anyway back ta what I was sayin' I asked if he knew something 'bout gambling debts and he said no that Mr. Newsome was very careful with his money and knew how ta handle it since he's a businessman but turned out he has been a little worried lately 'bout something so Frank did a investigating himself and found out he needed money and quickly but not for gambling"

"Then what for?" Ennis was wondering who else L.D would owe money to.

"Frank never said but I think that it is for what he's not getting at home if ya catch my drift" Ennis arched an eyebrow at Johnny.

"Yeah I catch it" A surprised Ennis replied.

"He owes those 'ladies' money and if they don't get it quick they're gonna ruin his reputation, well that's what I got told and then Frank starting saying if I tell anyone he's coming for me but like I said I can throw a good punch and then I went ta leave and Jack was seating down in a booth and then like I said made small talk and I left and didn't see Jack again" Johnny looked at the table after finishing telling Ennis everything.

"Ya sure did some investigating" Ennis sounded a little overwhelmed.

"Yeah sure did. Can I ask something? Eh... how's Bobby I haven't talked ta him in a while and I miss him" Johnny asked never taking his gaze off the table.

"He's fine, blames himself I told me not ta but he does. Him and Junior getting close like they used ta when they were younger. His arm's healing and cuts and bruises fading a bit" Ennis looked up at Johnny and added "I can give ya the number for the house so ya can call him if ya want"

Johnny looked from the spot of the table "Yeah, ya wouldn't mind would ya?" Ennis heard the smile in his voice to match the one on his face.

"No I wouldn't" Ennis felt better helping Johnny.

Johnny asked a passing waitress for a piece of paper so Ennis could write down the number. Ennis asked him for directions to the police station which he wrote on another bit of paper. Ennis went to his truck to head for the police station while Johnny headed for a pay phone. Johnny stood in the phone booth while Ennis drove by.

Johnny dialled the number written on the paper and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello" A female voice answered.

"Hello, this is Johnny, is Bobby there please?" He asked putting on his polite telephone voice.

"Hiya Johnny. It's Junior. Hang on a sec while I get him"

"Thanks Junior" Johnny heard Junior's footsteps while shouting for Bobby telling him that Johnny was on the phone. He heard Bobby running towards the phone.

"Johnny?" Bobby asked breathlessly

"Yeah hi baby I miss ya much. How ya feeling?" He smiled to himself remembering how much he loves Bobby.

"I miss ya too. I'm alright I suppose, be better in yer arms though speaking a arms mine's healing and my bruises and cuts aren't too bad"

"That's good. I suppose ya know 'bout yer dad. I saw Mr. Del Mar, he was how I got the number"

"Yeah I heard 'bout him it's my fault if I didn't come up here then he wouldn't a went and all this wouldn't a happened"

"Bobby stop blaming yerself it's not yer fault and I'm not just saying that ya know it's not yer fault"

"But I keep feeling it is and I can't do anything ta stop it"

"Bobby I love ya and I don't want ya blaming yerself he hurts me too when ya do 'cause I know it's not"

"I love ya so much"

"I love ya too"

"Johnny have ya seen my mam around?" Bobby asked with slight desperation.

"No. She's probably in the hospital with yer grandpa" Johnny replied.

"Yeah yer right" Johnny heard the unmistakealbe sadness in Bobby's voice.

"I might come up ta see ya" Johnny hoped this was making Bobby feel better.

"Nah It's ok. It's a long drive"

"Ok are ya sure?"

"Yeah I am. I better go, look after Ennis my daddy loves him"

"Don't worry I'll look out for him"

"Bye baby I love ya"

"I love ya too" Johnny hung up and walked over to his pickup smiling to himself.

Bobby hung up the phone with a sigh he hated saying goodbye to Johnny.

"Yer in love with him that's really great" Bobby turned at the sound of Junior's voice.

Junior stood just outside her bedroom door leaning againist the doorway reminding Bobby of Ennis.

Bobby blushed "Yeah, Well what 'bout you got someone ta love?"

"Well" Junior started to walk closer to Bobby. "Yeah I do, his name's Kurt"

"Kurt, really how long ya known him?"

"I've known him 'bout a year"

"Really" Bobby gave Junior a funny look and walked back to the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Who ya calling?" Junior asked looking at Bobby with suspicion.

"Kurt. Whats his number?"

"No yer not" Junior raced to the phone and grabbed the receiver off Bobby.

"C'mon we can have him over for dinner or go ta a diner or something. Please" Bobby begged.

"Daddy left me in charge" Junior said ignoring his begging

"Oh c'mon if you love him ya'll want ta see him" Bobby said hoping to get her give in.

"Fine fine I'll call him" Junior said with a sigh at letting herself give in.

"It's only fair. You gotta see Johnny now I see Kurt"

"Fine ok" Junior dialled Kurt's number and waited for him to answer while Bobby had a goofy smile on his face.

Jack sat in his cell after having breakfast which he found horrible but ate anyway. He hadn't eaten since yesterdays lunch. He was wondering if Ennis arrived yet and if he had why hadn't he been to see him. Jack was starting to get in a panic thinking maybe Ennis got attacked or maybe one of L.D's men got to him. The sound of his cell opening stopped his stream of thought.

"Twist ya got yerself a visitior" One of the older guards stood outside the cell holding it open for Jack. Ennis was Jack's immediate thought and he jumped up and followed the guard to the visitor's room. There was a few other people sitting at tables talking to their visitors. Jack quickly scanned the room for Ennis and didn't see him. The guard brought him to a table with no one at it and said his visitor would be there soon. Jack sat at the table for a few minutes when he heard the door he looked up to see if it was Ennis but instead he saw Randall walking towards him.

"Howdy Jack. Never thought I'd see ya back in Texas. Ya always were the one for getting in trouble" Randell sat down on the other side of the table talking as if nothing could worry him.

"Randell what the hell ya doing here? How ya hear 'bout this?" Jack lowered his voice and leaned forward so Randell could hear him.

"Well Jack" Randell leaned forward copying Jack's position. "Yer a old friend and yer in trouble course I'd see ya and well I heard 'bout this from Roy"

"Oh great does everybody know 'bout this?"

"No not everybody just the people Lureen's telling" Randell sat and talked like it wasn't a bid deal.

"What she telling people" Jack's eyes were wide he couldn't believe this was happening to him.

"She's saying that ya tried ta kill her daddy and then made some excuse 'bout yer wallet that ya didn't know ya lost it even though it was found very close ta L.D"

"This is just great"

"Yeah it is. Ya see I know something 'bout yer wallet and how it got to be where it was" Jack looked shocked while Randell simply smirked.

"Ya what?" Jack breathed.

Randell leaned closer so not to be heard "I put yer wallet there" He whispered and let out a soft sniggered while looking at Jack's expression.

"What ya framed me" Jack was barely able to get his words out.

"Framed is such a bad word. That'll teach ya ta leave me the way ya did Jack Twist. Oh look at the time I better go" Jack was left numb while he watched Randell leave. He saw him step aside while someone else was coming through the door. It was Ennis. He started walking towards Jack. Randell watched until he saw Ennis sit at Jack's table. He smirked at Jack before he walked through the door sending a shiver down Jack's spine.

A/N: I think I spelt Randell wrong did I? Tell if I did and I'll fix. I've had a weird week but I hope it didn't affect my writing in anyway, tell me if it did. Now your done reading review! You know you want to make me happy! Am I evil leaving it there? This one is unbeta-ed so sorry for any mistakes. I don't really like this chapter but I don't know why. Thanks for reading.
