Charlie slowly got up off the bed and went over to John nudging him. John stirred some, but went right back to sleep.
"Go away." he mumbled. Charlie barked loudly.
"Kenzie! Take you're dog for a piss!" he yelled and got up. "Thank you for waking me up ya big lug." Mackenzie walked in quick with a leash.
"C'mon Charlie, I want to go back to bed. Lets make this quick." She grabbed her coat, and connected the collar to the leash.
"You're going out in that?" John asked, looking at what she was wearing, boxers and a tank top and a winter coat.
"Yes, I'm not putting on clothes just to go and take them off again."
"Fine, freeze you're ass off you'll learn." he said with a smile, watching the Dane drag her out of the room.
"Charlie slow down." She frowned. It was too early. He flew down the stairs. She walked over to the front desk and rang the bell.
"Yeah doll face?" Roxy asked smacking her gum loud
"Um, yeah I was wondering where I could find a park or something grass for my dog?" Roxy leaned over and looked at Charlie.
"Whoa. Huge dog. Hey you're McBain's kid right?"
"Yeah unfortunately." She said with a smirk.
"Oh honey, don't be sorry that is a hunk of man right there. He's so rugged and well let's just say I'd like to take him and…"
"Ewe. That's okay I don't want to know the rest."
"Oh yeah. Daughter, I forgot…hey you looking for a man? My boy Rexy is and town and he's a cutie." As the words left her mouth Rex bolted down the stairs in nothing but a towel.
"Mom something's wrong with the…Hi." Rex said in a seductive voice. "Rex Balsam. And you are…"
"Too young for you." she said smartly. "I'll just find a place for my dog, thank you though."
"No problem doll face and you know," she leaned over again and signaled for her to lean as well. "Can ya put in a good word for ya pop's for me?" she winked at Mackenzie.
"Sure thing Roxy. Nice meeting you Rex." Pulling on Charlie's collar she headed out the door.
"Yeah whatever." He laid his head down on the bar table.
"Aw honey don't be mad she told ya no, so what? She's to pretty for you anyways, WAY out of your league." Roxy giggled
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." he pouted, and went back up the stairs.

John put his t-shirt and shoved his badge in his pocket. He couldn't believe the weather outside. He's never seen snow like this since he was young.
"Father," Mackenzie shut the door and smoothed her hair down form where it was under the hood. John pulled out the last doughnut from the box and threw it in the trash.
"Offspring."
"You were right about freezing my ass off and you have jelly doughnuts at work right?"
"…Yes…why?" She ran over to him and snatched the doughnut from his hand and ran to the bathroom, with John following right behind her.
"Good then I can eat this one!"
"Get back here with that doughnut kid!" She slammed the door in his face and locked it.
"I'm going to take a shower and then head over to the station. I'm babysitting Jamie today. Bye daddy." John pounded his fist on the door.
"Gimme back that doughnut!" Mackenzie cracked the door a little and then fully opened it, the evidence all over her fingers and face.
"What doughnut?" he looked at her astonished and then laughed.
"What doughnut? I'll see you later be careful on the roads there slick."

"Ok, try it again." Natalie looked at the motor again as she yelled at Rex to try and start up the car again. The snow was falling down fast and they had to get out of Lanview. Roxy saw on the news earlier that they were looking for the twosome. She gave him her money to last them a weeks worth of food.
"I don't think its working." Rex said doubtfully.
"Ok, there's a gas station up the road, we'll just walk up there. Call a cab or something." She watched her brother's facial expression. "What?" she asked.
"Were goanna walk?"
"Well what do you want to do Rex? Wait for the cops to get here? I don't think so. Get out of the car and let's go!" Rex sighed and pulled his hood up, ready to brace the cold.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Yeah Bo, I'm on my way, have you found anything else?" John was driving down the road at a high speed. He was late as usual but Bo was on pins and needles this time and was really worrying about this case.
"Yeah well you're going to smack yourself in the face when you hear this." John heard Bo say as he picked up his cup of coffee and sipped it slowly. The car suddenly hit a bump in the road and coffee spilt all over his lap and the seat of his car.
"Ah, fuck! Hold on a second Bo." He bent down to the glove compartment and rummaged around to find some napkins, taking his eyes off the road for only seconds.

"Rex look out!" Natalie pushed her brother out of the way of the oncoming car. They went tumbling into the snow as the heard the car crash into a tree. Natalie sat up and crawled over to Rex.
"You okay?" she asked looking at the bump forming on his head. She touched it lightly, watching it swell up.
"Yeah I'm fine, what the hell was that?" he asked and looked over at the car, seeing the driver was not moving. They both got up and ran over there. Rex got between the car and the tree, being careful of the broken glass. He looked at the man. His dark brown hair now covered in blood. Grabbing his hand he checked for a pulse, it was weak.
"We got to get him out of here Natty." He looked over and saw that she was already on the cell phone, making a call to 911.
"Make sure he's still breathing." she nodded her head over to him. She contemplated on whether or not to leave him then mentally smack herself. That would have been cold hearted. They would have to think up of something before the ambulance would get there. Maybe they could leave after they pick him up. They wouldn't need to go right?
"Hey man, what's you're name?" Rex asked watching as the male's eyes fluttered open. He slowly looked around, confused on where he was at.
"John…McBain." He tried to undo his seat belt and get out of the car.
"Whoa man, I mean John." He pushed him lightly back down. "You were in a car accident, don't move okay? You're head is bleeding and god knows what else. Just stay there an ambulance is on the way." Natalie came up to Rex.
"Its almost here, is he okay?" John looked over at the redhead and never saw anything more beautiful and stunning. She was a ray of shine with her rosy cheeks from the cold and flakes of snow softly lying in her hair.
"His head is bleeding; I think he's going in and out. What are we going to do when they get here?" Rex asked in a panic. They couldn't get caught they just couldn't.
"We'll figure it out when the time comes. Just keep him at ease okay?" Rex nodded his head, thinking back on how this whole mess started.
FLASHBACK
"Christian, not now. Rex is here. Let's talk about this later. "She whispered. Rex was sleeping on the couch, out like a light.
"Well what the fuck is he doing here anyway?" He was angry and drunk. She hated days like this.
"He and his girlfriend broke up and he needed a place to stay."
"Well why does he have to stay here?" He flew his arms in the air. "You know what this means right?" In one quick step he shoved her against the wall, her head banging against it.
"Christian I…I" He stopped her stutter by slapping her in the face and shushed her by putting his hand over her mouth.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm tired of you're bullshit. You will do as I say. Got it?" He dug in his pants with her still up against the wall and pulled out a gun. Before he could do anything they heard a bang and Christian felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned around to see Rex standing up with a gun in his hand. He charged at him, rage in his eyes and felt another shot go into him in the heat. He fell over as Natalie and Rex looked at each other.
"Rex what the hell did you?" she asked bending down and tried to find a pulse.
"I-I reacted. He was hurting you Natty. I d-didn't know what to do." he stammered and starting pacing the floor.
"Fuck, no pulse…he's dead." She ran to her room, grabbed some clothes and shoved them in a duffle bag. Remembering the money she had stashed away in the dresser, she got it and put it in the duffle bag also.
"Natty what are you doing?" Rex was confused, the adrenaline pumping threw him. He was coming to the realization that he had killed someone.
"We are getting the fuck out of here. Grab your stuff and let's go. We're heading to Lanview for the night."
"I don't think."
"Rex! Don't ask all these questions it's only going to be minutes until the coppers come. The neighbors probably heard the shot. Now shut up and let's go! I'm going to take care of this." Rex nodded his head. He knew his sister wasn't playing around. He leaned over and grabbed his bag and jacket, shutting the door on the way out.
END OF FLASHBACK
"You trust me don't you? " Natalie asked, putting a hand on her brother's shoulder.
"Of course I trust you; I just hope nothing bad happens." He didn't look at her, he stared at the John man, making sure he was still breathing.
"I'm going to take care of this. Don't worry." she kept her hand on his shoulder, keeping him calm until the they could figure out what they were going to do as they waited for the ambulance to come.
